With the 2024 tennis season heading down the final stretch, sports bettors are already contemplating what is on the agenda next year.
The ATP Finals season finale in November will be a thriller, and tennis betting sites such as Betway are backing Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz as the betting favourites to win the event.

Tennis Preview 2025
Sinner and Alcaraz dominated the men’s Grand Slams in 2024 and it would be no surprise to see them in contention for the top titles next year.
The Italian star claimed the Australian Open and US Open, while his Spanish rival picked up the French Open and Wimbledon titles.
Their successes established a notable landmark in men’s tennis, as it was the first time since 2002 that Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic failed to win a Grand Slam.
With Federer and Nadal out of the equation in 2025, Djokovic will be left to carry the torch for the most successful trio of players ever to grace the sport.
The Serbian endured a disappointing year by his usual high standards, and he undoubtedly has a point to prove against the new kids on the block.
Motivation has been an issue for the 37-year-old this year, but the suspicion remains that he has at least one more Grand Slam success in his armoury.
Women’s tennis is also set for a stellar year, with the sport now packed with players capable of competing at the highest level.
Aryna Sabalenka won the Australian Open and US Open in 2024 and is unquestionably a force to be reckoned with in women’s tournaments.
Iga Swiatek will bid to win her fifth French Open title in six seasons next year, while Barbora Krejcikova will be eager to defend her Wimbledon crown.
However, Emma Navarro could be worth backing to break her duck in Grand Slam events having impressed at Wimbledon and the US Open in 2024.
