Tennis Betting Advice - January 2022
Thursday 6th January 2022
Good evening. I’m working on my Ones to Watch in 2022 player report for you (it’ll be with you next week). During my research, a 100/1 price has jumped out at me.
And seeing as that player is in action this week, and might end up getting a bit more attention as next weekend’s Australian Open draws closer. I thought I’d strike sooner rather than later, and send you that 100/1 info tonight…
Age: 20
Country: USA
End-of-2020 World Ranking: No.78
It feels like Amanda Anisimova has been around a long time. She appeared on my Ones to Watch list ahead of the 2020 season, and was on the radar long before…
In September 2018, I originally flagged up Anisimova as a 150/1 outsider for both the Australian Open and US Open 2019. Amanda made a credible run to the Last 16 in Australia. But then tragedy struck for the youngster that year, with the sudden death of her father and coach, and Amanda pulled out of the trip to New York. Since then, the American has also had to contend with injury and illness.
Anisimova is still searching for a first appearance in a final since 2019, when she lifted what is to date her first and only WTA title. A Junior US Open champion (2017), hard courts are Amanda’s surface of choice.
Born in the States to Russian parents, Anisimova has a quietly determined look about her, and 2022 might just be the year that she finally shakes off that ‘next Maria Sharapova’ tag, and makes a genuine name for herself on the big stage…
Like many dangerous outsiders that we follow in Ones to Watch, Anisimova has the power and ability to put a red-hot run together at any given event – and that makes her one to follow in the Grand Slams at attractive Each Way prices.
Anisimova plays tonight in the quarter finals of her first event of the year, at the WTA Melbourne Summer Set 2, where’s she’s priced around 1/2 (1.5) favourite to beat Irina Begu (play starts Midnight). She’s won two matches there already this week.
And if a clean sweep of seven out of seven short-format victories at the non-tour World Team Tennis event at the end of last year are anything to go by, then Amanda could be hitting some form at just the right time for the first Grand Slam of the year…
Let’s strike as soon as we can then, and get some of the 100/1 on offer for this month’s big one in Melbourne, the Australian Open.

Enjoy the tennis…
