At long last the first Grand Slam of the year kicked off today. The Australian Open in Melbourne promises some of the very best tennis action for fans and punters alike and has already produced the first bit of shock-news with Maria Sharapova getting knocked out after loosing her first game against fellow Russian Maria Kirilenko.

Looking at the odds the bookies have clearly decided that Roger Federer is the favorite to win this years Aussie Open followed by Rafael Nadal who in turn is closely followed by Andy Murray.
On the women's side the favorite to win is Kim Clijsters followed by Serena Willians with a distant Justine Henin trailing in third.

As always you can find a list of the best destinations on the web for this years Aussie Open:

- The official site for the Australian Open Tennis Championships 2010 is an excellent resource!
- For the latest news I'd recommend the BBC Tennis News or Tennis on Yahoo! Sports
- For punters the 2010 Australian Open Tennis Betting site provides a great deal of information.
- Be sure to read GG's 2010 Australian Open Betting Preview as well before you place a bet
- Gambling Guru also has an Australian Open Betting Odds Guide which is just a brief overview
- If you're looking for live odds comparisons check out the 2010 Australian Open Betting Odds
- Scores can be found on the official site or alternatively GG also offers live tennis scores

Good luck to all of you placing a bet on the AO!

Betting Events for the week - part 1

Whilst betting on golf is not as popular as on other sports it does offer some great opportunities for punters willing to try something new. As such I'd like to present the Scottish Open as one golfing event that's coming up which makes for an excellent betting event. Furthermore it makes for a great warm-up before the start of The Open Championship which undoubtedly is the golf betting event of the year for UK punters.

On the flipside, even though Wimbledon has come to a close we have another opportunity for tennis bettors who want some more action with the Mercedes Cup, an ATP event, being played in Stuttgart this weekend.

Some resources for both events follow here:

Barclays Scottish Open (09.07-12.07)
- The official Barclays Scottish Open Site of course features a ton of information
- The PGA European Tour site also features a useful section on the event
- A great resource for punters is the Scottish Open Golf Betting Guide
- Here you can also find a short synopsis of The Scottish Open
- Be sure to read this Scottish Open Betting Preview
- For mainstream news coverage of the event I'd recommend the Guardian Golf News
- Lastly for live bookmaker odds comparisons see the Barclays Scottish Open Golf Betting Odds

Mercedes Cup Tennis Tournament (11.07-19.07)
- The official Mercedes Cup Site is a good starting point
- The ATP World Tour site of course also offers an overview of the event
- The Mercedes Cup Tennis Tournament site is an excellent resource for punters
- The UK Betting Guide also features a page on the Mercedes Cup
- For news the BBC Tennis News is always a good resource
- And for odds comparisons be sure to check out the Tennis Betting Odds Check

I'll be posting another betting event overview for the Irish Oaks later this week.
