Grand Slam Tournaments

The four Grand Slam tournaments represent the pinnacle of tennis and attract the highest betting volumes throughout the year. Each Grand Slam has unique characteristics that affect playing styles and betting strategies:

ATP Masters 1000 Series

The nine ATP Masters 1000 tournaments are the most prestigious events outside the Grand Slams. These week-long tournaments attract all top players and offer significant ranking points:

• Indian Wells Masters (BNP Paribas Open) - March, California, hard court. Known as the "Fifth Slam" due to its prestige and large draw.
• Miami Open - March/April, Florida, hard court. Hot, humid conditions favor fit players. Back-to-back with Indian Wells in the "Sunshine Double."
• Monte Carlo Masters - April, Monaco, clay. Stunning Mediterranean setting, clay court season opener for many top players.
