2008 Australian Open Odds

The very best singles players in the world pit their skills, fitness levels and temperaments against each other on one of the biggest stages of the sporting arena, the Australian Open.

Although it is the youngest of the Grand Slam events, the Australian Open continues to attract a larger audience each year, has a richer annual purse and consequently woos all the top names of tennis to Melbourne each year in January.

When analysing the 2008 Australian Open odds, remember that one of the factors that makes betting tips slightly more difficult to determine than at other Grand Slam tournaments, is the Australian weather. Players often have to endure extreme temperatures on court, which at times reach untenable levels of over 45 degrees centigrade. The 'heat' factor will certainly separate the men from the boys and the higher the fitness levels are, the less this variable will come into play.
