Tennis is played between two opponents (singles) or teams of two (doubles) where the first opponent or team to reach a pre-determined amount of sets wins the match. Each "set" is defined as playing a single period while accumulating points until there is a winner. In match play, multiple sets are played to determine the winner of a "match."
Before the match can begin, one player starts each set as the server while the opposing player is the receiver. To start each point, the server stands behind the baseline, between the center mark and the sideline of the tennis court. The receiver may stand ready to return the serve from anywhere behind their side of the net.
A legal serve requires that the ball leaves the server's racquet and travels over the net without touching it the net or the servers side of the court, and the diagonally into the opposite service court (on the opponents side).
The simplest tennis bet to understand is betting on the match-winner, which gives you a choice of two players (or two teams, in doubles).
Just like in other sports, handicap betting is highly popular when making tennis bets. In the event of a mismatch between opponents, handicaps allow you to place a bet on where you determine the winning margin.
This handicap is expressed as a number of games added onto one player’s score and the same number of games taken away from the opponent’s score.
There you have it, all that there is left to do now is place your tennis bets with SunBet!
