Commenting on the Australian Open, UK Director at BetMGM, Sam Behar, said: “Tennis is one of our most important sports markets, and the Australian Open always kicks off the year in style – we’re in for a treat over the next couple of weeks with top-class action in store. We’ve got Novak Djokovic to extend his record number of wins, with Carlos Alcaraz his main challenger for the men’s title, with Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina battling for the women’s prize. For any of our customers feeling particularly patriotic, we’ve got Emma Raducanu at 70/1 to win a second Grand Slam, Cameron Norrie at 150/1 to pull off a major shock… or what about Andy Murray staging the ultimate comeback at 250/1?”
