Tennis betting tips

What motivates a tennis player to win a particular match? Financial rewards, ATP ranking points and the desire to win a tournament on home soil are all sources of motivation.

It is even more difficult to measure motivation when a particular player’s level of motivation can fluctuate wildly. Marat Safin, for example, is capable of winning or losing against any other player on the Tour, depending on his level of motivation and concentration. Therefore, it seems more sensible to bet on him when he is the underdog rather than the favourite. Other players, such as Lleyton Hewitt, are always hyper-motivated, regardless of the competition.

Above all, it is the difference in motivation between the two players that counts. Pay particular attention to this factor and decide which player has the strongest desire to win the match. In addition, opt for players who are confident in their game. A bad run of results can often affect the general level of a player’s game.
