How Important Is Fitness When It Comes To Tennis Betting?

When you are trying to make a selection for your betting you have to make sure you look at every angle of every situation.

A lot does depend on the players, surfaces, strengths and weaknesses of the two players competing but now I will take a little look at how fitness has a major bearing on the outcome.

Some players are obviously much fitter than others and when it comes to competing at the highest level this can matter more than you think.

The surface can have a bearing on how fitness will affect the match outcome. Clay for example, is a baseliner's surface.

When players are playing on clay, to succeed at the highest level on clay you need to have great fitness and stamina. The tennis game on clay is usually very long rallies from the baseline, running side to side in a sustained assault on the enemy.

Nadal is virtually unstoppable on clay for this reason. He has won the French Open at Roland Garros for FOUR straight years now and his fitness and mainly stamina level is beyond belief.

He can just keep running and running and with the technique of his shots added to the fact that he can just run and run all day, he buries most opponents with ease when he plays on clay.

A player with a very high level of fitness can use this to their advantage if they do not have the best technique. They can push their fitness to the highest level and play percentage tennis, just trying to return as much as they can hoping their opponent will tire.
