Australian
Open
Played
in Melbourne during January each year, the Australian Open is
the first of four Grand Slams held annually. The tournament
is renowned for massive attendances (over 600,000 people in
2008) and scorching temperatures. It is also the only Grand
Slam that currently features indoor play. The event recently
switched to a new Plexicushion surface from the old Rebound
Ace surface, which had been in use for over 20 years. Sportingbet

French
Open
Also
known as the Tournoi de Roland-Garros, the French Open is the
second Grand Slam on the annual calendar (May/June). The tournament
is played on clay, an ultra slow surface with high bounce, which
facilitates longer rallies and matches – making it the
most physically demanding tennis event in the world. The specialised
nature of the event has made it the Achilles Heel of many tennis
greats, including Pete Sampras and Roger Federer, who have been
unable to add victory at Roland-Garros to their list of impressive
achievements. Sportingbet offer online sports betting odds on

Wimbledon
First
played in 1877, The Championships, Wimbledon is the oldest of
the Grand Slams and the tournament is steeped in tradition.
Players must adhere to a strict all-white dress code, while
strawberries and cream is the event's "customary"
snack. Since changing to a 100% Rye Grass surface, which is
slower than the previous 80% mixture, the serve and volley tactic
has become less effective and baseline players have enjoyed
more success. Due to the tournament's constant struggle with
inclement weather, a retractable roof is currently under construction
at centre court. Sportingbet offer online sports betting odds

US
Open
Played
in August and September each year, the US Open is the final
championship on the Grand Slam calendar. The tournament features
a DecoTurf surface, a fast and low bounce compound ideal for
serve and volley players. The event, held at the USTA National
Tennis Centre in Flushing Meadows, New York, is an entertainment
spectacle renowned for its two weeks of jovial festivities.
The Open was the first Grand Slam to utilise Hawk-Eye, an advanced
instant replay system allowing players to challenge calls. Sportingbet
