The Sony Ericsson Open is the second Masters 1000 Event on the men's ATP Tour and is held at the Tennis Center in Crandon Park, Miami. It is held at the end of March each year as tennis betting begins to gather pace as form and fitness becomes clear with the first major of the year, the Australian Open, already completed.
When looking at the betting it is worth noting the hard outdoor courts can suit big servers such as Andy Roddick, while Andy Murray has also tasted success and he enjoys playing in the United States after reaching the US Open final in 2009. It is very rare for a player from outside the top names to upset the odds here as previous winners include stellar names, including Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras and Roger Federer.
It always attracts the top players from the world of tennis and falls after the Indian Wells Masters, with the French Open the next grand slam event on the tour calendar.
It is a tournament that Rafa Nadal has never won and it is a huge surprise as he is sure to be at the head of the betting as one of the main favourites alongside Roger Federer. Players such as Andy Roddick, Nikolay Davydenko, and Novak Djokovic are also worth keeping an eye out for in the odds as they have enjoyed past success

| 2011 | Novak Djokovic | Rafael Nadal | 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 |
| 2012 | Novak Djokovic | Andy Murray | 6-1, 7-6 |
Novak Djokovic retained his title in Miami as he easily beat Andy Murray 6-1, 7-6 in the final. Murray had enjoyed two walkovers en route to the final but Djokovic justified ante-post favouritism in the betting to take the title for a second year running.

The Monte Carlo Masters is the third Masters event of the ATP Tour season and it is an important event ahead of the French Open.
It sees the players move away from the fast hard courts and on to the slower clay courts in France. That means that Rafael Nadal is likely to be the man to beat at a tournament he has dominated in recent years. He is sure to be short odds favourite in the ante-post betting and will be looking to play himself into form ahead of the French Open.
It is sure to be an eye catching event and should give plenty of clues of who to look out for in the betting for the prestigious French Open.....
