ATP Dubai Open betting odds: Federer and Djokovic huge favorites

Feb 21, 2011

Dubai Duty Free 2011 tennis championship

Does a seemingly predictable tennis tournament make for easier tennis sports betting? Punters will certainly find out this week if they’re paying attention to the ATP Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.

The main questions in this somewhat imbalanced tournament: Does Roger Federer still “have it”? Is this the tourney in which Novak Djokovic finally enters the discussion of today’s top two in tennis? Or do you like a seriously dark horse? Check out odds offered on individual matches, live in-game betting and outright winners at bet365, Bodog and BetUS online sportsbooks.

The imbalance comes from a distinct lack of top names, starting at the top with world no. 1 Rafael Nadal. No. 2 Federer and no. 3 Djokovic will play but after these two, the top-ranked players in Dubai will be Tomas Berdych (no. 7), Mikhail Youzhny (no. 11) and Marcos Baghdatis (no. 20).

Roger Federer 7/4
Novak Djokovic 2/1
Tomas Berdych 10/1
Mikhail Youzhny 14/1
Marcos Baghdatis 14/1

While many sportsbooks (including Bodog and BetUS) have taken down “outright winner” proposition betting after the weekend and the opening of the ATP Dubai tournament, bet365 still offers the entire slate of odds on all competitors. The top of the table is about as predictable as you’d expect.

Meanwhile, a full range of proposition bets, including match-to-match, set-to-set and even point-to-point are available at all three JackpotFinder-approved online sportsbooks BetUS, Bodog and bet365.
