It was only earlier this month that we saw the last Grand Slam tennis tournament roll around, and while the US Open was a little different from what we have become accustomed to, at least some of the big-name players in the women’s singles will be participating in the upcoming French Open. But one name that remains absent is the current champion at Roland Garros, Ash Barty, who, like at Flushing Meadows has cited safety concerns, amidst the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. With Naomi Osaka and Bianca Andreescu also absent from the Paris Grand Slam, who should you be looking out for? Let’s take a look at some of the early favourites for the women’s singles title, according to some of the top 10 online casinos.

Simona Halep

The latest odds from Betdaq suggest that the current World Number 2, Halep, will win this year’s tournament at Stade Roland Garros. The Romanian hasn’t won a Grand Slam title since Wimbledon last year, and recently pulled out of the US Open, citing safety reasons. In the lead-up to the tournament, Halep won both the finals of the Prague Open and Italian Open – the latter by virtue of a walkover – and is heading into the Grand Slam in good form. She’s yet to taste success in Paris, but victory would see Halep one major title short of a career Slam.

Last year: Quarter-finals (lost to Amanda Anisimova)

Serena Williams

Williams has dominated women’s tennis for the last two decades, with 23 Grand Slam titles to her name – and is still only one major short of equalling Margaret Court’s record of 24 titles. Williams’ name is always there or thereabouts when it comes to any tennistournament – but after four defeats over the last two years in finals, and a semi-final exit at the US Open earlier this month, the American will look to bounce-back from those disappointments as she goes in search of a first Grand Slam title for three years.

Last year: Third Round (lost to Kenin)

Kiki Bertens

Bertens has yet to really make her mark on the major competitions, with a semi-final finish at the 2016 French Open her best result in any of the four tennis Grand Slams. This year, the Dutch player exited in the fourth round of the Australian Open and was absent from Flushing Meadows. She was an early favourite last year at Roland Garros, but was forced to retire through illness. Among the favourites again this year, there’s likely to be some pressure on Bertens to perform, but with women’s singles tennis a lot more open than the men’s competition, she could well finally reach the latter stages of the tournament. 

Last year: Second Round (retired to Viktória Kužmová)

Sofia Kenin

At only 21 years old, Kenin won her first major title this year – at the Australian Open – and in doing so, became the youngest American since Serena Williams in 1999 to win a Grand Slam tournament. Currently the WTA World Number 5, Kenin recently lost against Viktoria Azarenka 6-0, 6-0 at the Italian Open – and after pulling out of the competition at Strasbourg, will set her sights on Roland Garros instead. With the likes of Barty and Osaka absent, this could be her chance to assert herself on the clay courts and even add to her tally of Grand Slam titles.

Last year: Fourth Round (lost to Barty)


What is the purpose of club membership?

Most members use the advisory to generate profits via bookmaker and/or exchange accounts. For someone staking £100 per match this has yielded thousands in profit even once the annual membership fee is deducted.

Will bookmakers limit my account(s)?

Most likely, yes. Club bets have a proven track record of value (+ EV) and bookmakers are likely to notice this. Short term you’ll be fine but longer term we suggest using betting exchanges or ‘winners welcome’ bookmakers or brokers. That’s why we always quote and record odds from Betfair Exchange for members as that illustrates profits for those who are limited.

How will it work after joining?

Your membership will be confirmed with a personal welcome email. You’ll get 12 months access from a single payment and there is no auto renewal – we’ll simply ask if you wish to continue after the year has elapsed. You should expect an average of two emails per week detailing the advised selection, match, tournament and odds. Simply login to your betting account and place a wager on the selected market. We only use standard match winner bets, often referred to as the moneyline, so coverage is extensive at virtually all betting portals. Have any questions? Please visit the contact us page. Average response time 24h.

Is club membership limited?

Yes, we allow a maximum of ten members to have an active annual membership at any one time. This is to preserve value and market liquidity. Essentially ensuring it’s practical to obtain the advised odds without them disappearing too quickly.

What bankroll is required?

We suggest £10,000 or more ideally although smaller can work. Most members choose to follow our advice of staking 1% per match. This means it automatically adjusts and scales as the total grows and compounds returns. In the above example; the member would have yielded over £3,000 profit but had to pay the membership fee leaving them with a net profit in excess of £2200. Some members have vastly exceeded this by staking higher amounts but please remember to have a long term focus and ensure capacity for successive losses.

What type of bets should I expect?

Always match winner bets covering men’s professional tennis. This includes ATP events, Challenger and Grand Slams. We specialise in high odds underdogs which have yielded the most considerable profits in extensive back testing. Selections with odds of 10/1 (11.00) are not uncommon. We deliver advisory emails at a consistent time with a minimum of six hours before the scheduled start time to ensure plenty of time to get bets placed.

Who is the club open to?

Everyone with a decent bankroll and a long term outlook. We have members from around the world betting in many different currencies and jurisdictions. Tennis Tips UK are based in the United Kingdom, hence the name, but the club is truly global.

How is profit tracked?

For transparency we operate a public spreadsheet. This shows all key metrics such as units profit, ROI, yield and strike rate. We even monitor the Avg Diff CO % for those statisticians amongst you. In a nutshell this measures the implied value by comparing the advised odds with the sharp closing line. 2% is deducted from all recorded profit figures to simulate exchange commission. Just to clarify bets are only added to the spreadsheet post result confirmation to retain exclusivity of access to paid club members.

For winning bets our team also publish profit reports which feature the original email sent to members for additional tracking and verification purposes. This also includes a rating for that specific prediction which gives an insight into how our strategy is optimised over time.

Who picks the bets for club members?

Tennis Tips UK have grown into a small team over the years. Founded way back in 2013 by an odds compiler at a leading EU bookmaker. Since then joined by a quant and business manager. Each one of us lives and breathes tennis but we like to let our results speak for themselves rather than make outlandish personal claims.

Why don’t you bet on your own picks if they are so good?

We do, frequently. The issue surrounds liquidity and limitations. Club members have access to a wide range of liquidity from global sportsbooks and exchanges. We, as individuals, are far more restricted. Typically though we still stake an average of £10k per week on our selections but unfortunately virtually every bookmaker has long since banned us. We should take it a compliment really as a limitation is an endorsement of the profitability of your bets from an often billion pound institution.

Is there a way to reduce the cost of membership?

The fee is set at a level which allows us to fill membership places. If you are a prospective first time club member enter the promo code ‘TTUK10’ during checkout to reduce the cost. Please note this is a one time discount and not available for returning members.
