- Hopman Cup Tennis Betting Tips Predict USA Win
The United States are seen as the overwhelming favourites to win the 2017 Hopman Cup despite not having won the title since 2011.
The Hopman Cup is one of the prestigious events in the world of tennis with the tournament taking place since 1989. Apart from the Grand Slam events, the Hopman Cup is one of the top tennis events – even in terms of the tennis betting – especially in Australia.
This indoor hard court tournament is played in early January and in honour of the Australian tennis coach and player Harry Hopman. Hopman was responsible for getting the nation to 15 titles at the Davis Cup from 1938 to 1969.
Key Details
Part of the International Tennis Federation (ITF) calendar, the tournament is extremely popular in Australia. Its popularity has been growing in other parts of the world as well. For much of its existence, the tournament – a highly valued element when it comes to tennis betting odds in Australia – has been held at Burswood Dome. In the last three years, however, it has been held at Perth Arena.
Format
The reason for tennis betting tips being of major assistance at the Hopman Cup is the unique format of the competition, which pairs the male and female players from a specific country as a team. National coaches do not play a role in the selection of the players, as they are invited by the tournament itself.
Up to 8 nations are invited to be part of the four groups, which are split into half during the early stages. Every match up in the tournament consists of a men’s singles, women’s singles, and a mixed doubles game.
Record and Form
Tennis predictions have always been strange when it comes to Hopman Cup. Despite being an Australian tournament, only two Australians have succeeded at this event since its inception. United States and Spain have primarily dominated this tournament with six and four wins each. Australia had to wait until 1996 in order to get the first win. Incredibly, they managed to lift the title in the last edition which has sparked the tournament into life as far as bet online tips are concerned.
It is highly unlikely that Australia will be a favourite for the 2017 event even with the recent victory. The win in 2016 was the first time they had reached the final since 2003. The United States, who last won the title in 2011, are seen as the overwhelming favourites according to the best odds.
Other teams who are expected to be in the reckoning are Great Britain, who will be coming in with Andy Murray. France and Australia are the next best favourites according to the tennis odds.

France vs Great Britain
These two nations had extremely contrasting beginnings in this tournament. France overcame a 1-0 deficit with the help of Gasquet, and the British side of Watson and Evans lost 3-0 against the Swiss. Watson is the most important woman in this tie - she needs to win her singles match if the English want to stand a chance.
Switzerland vs Germany
Federer returned to tennis with a huge crowd waiting for him, and the Swiss champion did not disappoint. The match on January 4th against Zverev will be truly difficult. In case Federer wins, Switzerland will definitely win as Bencic does stand a chance against Petkovic.
