ATP Memphis Tennis Betting Info
There is an interesting looking field at the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships at the Memphis Racquet Club. Plenty of good tennis betting options here in a decent looking field, who are competing for the ATP World Tour 500 event. So good ranking points available this week in this indoor hard court event. We should see some good tennis betting action this week from the event, which is one of three going on this week on the ATP Tour (alongside Marseille and Buenos Aires)
ATP Memphis Tennis Betting Defending Champion
Andy Roddick, the scrappy, quick serving American is the defending champion here, and has won the event on two of the last three times of trying. So he will make a good option in your ATP Memphis tennis betting because of his track record here. He is usually a strong starter to the new season, but he has been really quiet so far, bowing out in the round of 64 at the Australian Open and then only reaching the quarter finals at San Jose. Still, he will be gunning for his fourth title at the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships and that means that could be the event which sparks his season into lift. Trading at around 5/1 with BetFair, he could do with a few more games under his belt, but has form at the event as the defending champion.
ATP Memphis Tennis Betting Favourite
It is young Canadian star Milos Raonic who is starting the week as favourite in your ATP Memphis tennis betting. One of the true rising stars of the ATP Tour, he reached the final here last year, losing out to Roddick. This time last year, Memphis was his second final in a row, but already this season, he has started living up to his enormous potential in terms of titles. He has won two of three events this season, taking the titles in Chennai and most recently in San Jose last weekend, where he beat Denis Istomin in the final. So the young Canadian is carrying superb form and is on the rise and rise in the world of men’s tennis. Raonic has a powerful serve for a youngster and holds an 11-1 season match record going into Memphis. Therefore the bookies are seeing him as the biggest danger in the field.
Other Contenders
While Roddick and Raonic are looking like the two main protagonists in ATP Memphis tennis betting, there are a couple of other big names we should be weighing up. Big American John Isner is also in the field and actually starts as number one seed. Isner will be looking for his big serves to fire him through the rounds. Isner hasn’t really performed much this season, so really don’t know what to expect from him. The same can be said of Marin Cilic, who makes his season debut here in Memphis, and even Jurgen Melzer is lacking some punch this season. So Sam Querrey, despite being an outsider in terms of world rankings is a former winner here. He lifted the title back in 2010 and holds a pretty handy 12-4 match record at the event. So the event looks as if there is a lot of unknowns floating around in terms of season form, but the stand out candidate really is Raonic for your ATP Memphis tennis betting, simply because of the strong season he has been having so far.
