Online Tennis Betting: The Rakuten Japan Open Tennis Championship is on the horizon, ready to get going in early October. The tournament features both men’s and women’s singles and doubles. It is the longest-running Asian ATP tournament, first held in 1973. The Rakuten Japan Open is played at Ariake Colosseum, which has 48 separate courts and a retractable roof. The tournament was originally known as the Tokyo Outdoor Grand Prix, but changed names at the advent of the ATP Tour in 1989. The surface is hard and outdoors.

Some of the biggest names in tennis have won this tournament. On the women’s singles side, Monica Seles, Maria Sharapova, Ai Sugiyama and Kimiko Date have won it. Carolina Wozniacki won the championship in 2008. The men’s winners include Roger Federer, Pete Sampras, Jim Courier, Lleyton Hewitt, John McEnroe, Ivan Lendl and Stefan Edberg. Richard Krajicek, Andre Agassi and Michael Chang have been runners-up at the Rakuten Japan Open. Last year’s winner was Rafael Nadal, who defeated Gael Monfils in straight sets, losing only one set throughout the entire tournament.

As of early August, Novak Djokovic was the No. 1 ranked singles tennis player on the men’s side, followed by Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Andy Murray and Robin Soderling round out the top-5. Check to see which players decide to participate in the tournament, because Nadal, the defending champion, and the other top ranked players may be good choices in ATP tennis betting.
