Understanding the Australian Open: format and Australian hard court specifics
The Australian Open takes place annually during the second half of January over a two-week period. The tournament comprises several draws offering numerous betting opportunities:
Men's Singles: 128 players compete in a knockout bracket across 7 rounds (from 1st round to final). Matches are best-of-5 sets with tie-breaks in all sets, including the deciding set (super tie-break to 10 points in 5th set). The winner lifts the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup.
Women's Singles: 128 players contest the title in best-of-3 sets format for the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup. The women's final traditionally precedes the men's.
Men's and Women's Doubles: 64 teams in each draw offer complementary betting opportunities with different gameplay dynamics.
Mixed Doubles: 32 mixed teams add another dimension in the second week.
GreenSet Surface: Melbourne Park uses a characteristic blue acrylic hard court surface. This medium-fast surface offers regular, predictable bounce, favoring long rallies and versatile players.
Extreme conditions: The Australian summer brings temperatures that can exceed 40°C. The extreme heat policy can interrupt matches and close the retractable roofs on the three main arenas (Rod Laver, Margaret Court, John Cain). These conditions directly influence player performances.
Schedule for Morocco: Australian Open matches begin early morning in Melbourne, corresponding to nighttime and early morning hours in Morocco. Day sessions start around 00:00-01:00 Moroccan time, while night sessions begin around 09:00-10:00. The 1xbet app for Android and iOS lets you follow the action anytime.

Australian Open specifics: adapting your betting strategy
The Australian Open presents unique characteristics that influence betting strategies:
Heat impact: Extreme temperatures (sometimes 40°C+) affect players differently. Some thrive in the heat while others struggle. Follow weather forecasts and players' history in these conditions.
Retractable roofs: Three arenas have roofs (Rod Laver, Margaret Court, John Cain). Closing the roof modifies playing conditions — the atmosphere becomes heavier, rallies slower. A player dominating outdoors can be disrupted under the roof.
Consistent surface: Australian hard courts offer predictable bounce favoring consistent players. Unlike grass (Wimbledon) where serve dominates, Melbourne allows extended rallies and effective return games.
Super tie-break: The 5th set format (tie-break to 10 points) prevents marathons and influences bets on match duration. Matches are generally shorter than at Roland-Garros or Wimbledon.
Time difference: The 10-hour gap with Morocco means matches during Moroccan nighttime for Australian day sessions. Night sessions (19:00 Melbourne) start around 09:00 in Morocco — more accessible.
First Grand Slam: Players arrive with varying fitness levels after winter preparation. Early rounds can produce surprises with players not yet at peak condition.
