Despite being dubbed the biggest favorite for winning the 2020 Australian Open, Serena Williams was stopped in Round 3 by Qiang Wang. The defeat means that the American will have to wait a while longer to try to equal Margaret Court’s record.
The record Serena is after is 24 Grand Slam titles, set by the legendary Australian player back in the 1970s. She’s currently only one title shy of tying the record, something which she still has a chance to achieve this year.
There are three more Grand Slam tournaments left in 2020, starting with the French Open which starts on Sunday, May 24.
Next Stop: 2020 French Open
At the moment of writing, Serena is the fifth favorite for winning the French Open, behind Simona Halep, Ash Barty, Kiki Bertens, and Bianca Vanessa Andreescu.
The sportsbook odds on Serena are currently somewhere in the ballpark of +900, but the history has thought us that anything can happen when tennis betting is concerned.
One of the reasons why she’s not thought of as the main contender for the French Open trophy is that she hasn’t been too successful at this tournament. She’s won “only” three French Open trophies so far, the last of which happened five years ago.
We say “only” because Serena has been much more successful at the other three Grand Slams. She’s won seven Wimbledon titles, the same number that she won at the Australian Open, while also collecting six titles at the US Open.
Another reason why Serena is not seen as the top title favorite is that her recent form hasn’t been that impressive. She did win the Auckland Classic at the start of the year, but just a few weeks later, she got eliminated from the first Grand Slam of 2020 in third round.
Speaking of her form at Grand Slams, she’s without a title since 2017, when she beat her sister Venus in the final of the Australian Open.
When’s the Time to Retire?
Born on September 26, 1981, Serena is 38 at the moment of writing. That makes her the second-oldest player in WTA Top 100, just behind her sister Venus who is 39. An interesting fact is that the very oldest player in the WTA Rankings, Greta Arn is just two years older than Serena.
Margaret Court, whose record of 24 Grand Slam titles Serena Williams is looking to equal (or even break) this year, finished her tennis career at the age of 34. She did it after learning she was pregnant with her fourth child.
Serena Williams also had to withdraw from tennis for a while for the same reason, but unlike Margaret Court, she did come back. After giving birth to her daughter Olympia in September 2017, she took a break from tennis for a couple of months before returning to the court in March 2018.
Despite giving birth fairly recently, Serena looks very fit. Her body definitely seems capable of pushing through a few more years, as evident from her performances at the Auckland Classic, as well as the 2020 Australian Open.
The 38-year-old did get knocked out in Melbourne by Qiang Wang who’s 10 years her junior, but the defeat wasn’t due to Serena’s fitness problems. On the contrary, the American player looked very energetic in that game; her mistakes are what cost her the match. With a little bit more focus, she’s likely to do much better the next time.
So, to answer the question from the beginning – can Serena Williams break Margaret Court’s record for most Grand Slams – yes, she can!
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.
