According to the Managing Director of Sportsbook,com, Alex Czajkowski, we are witnessing a stable and persistent increase in the popularity of tennis betting.

The thrills of placing bets on tennis tournaments are also a result of the contributing factor in the increasing equivalence between both men and women’s games. Today the competition is far more tougher and this makes betting far more exciting, while in the past forecasting winners was much simpler.
