“Under 25” in Tennis Sports Betting – Detailed Explanation & Examples

What Does “Under 25” Mean in Tennis Betting?

“Under 25” refers to a total games bet in a tennis match. You are betting that the combined total number of gamesplayed by both players in the entire match will be less than 25.

• If the total number of games is 24 or fewer, your bet wins.
• If the total number of games is 25 or more, your bet loses.

How Are Total Games Calculated?

Each set in tennis is made up of games. To win a set, a player usually needs to win 6 games (with at least a 2-game lead), or it goes to a tiebreak at 6–6.

So, a match score like 6-4, 6-3 means:

• 1st set: 6 + 4 = 10 games
• 2nd set: 6 + 3 = 9 games
• Total: 19 games → Under 25 wins

Winning Examples for Under 25:

Example 1:

• Final score: 6-3, 6-4
• Total games: 9 (set 1) + 10 (set 2) = 19 games
• Result:  Under 25 wins

Example 2:

• Final score: 6-2, 7-5
• Total games: 8 + 12 = 20 games
• Result:  Under 25 wins

Example 3:

• Final score: 6-3, 3-6, 6-4
• Total games: 9 + 9 + 10 = 28 games
• Result:  Under 25 loses

Losing Examples for Under 25:

Example 4:

• Final score: 7-6, 6-4
• Total games: 13 + 10 = 23 games
• Still under 25 – bet wins

But:

Example 5:

• Final score: 7-6, 7-6
• Total games: 13 + 13 = 26 games
• Over 25 – bet loses

Betting Tips for Under 25:

1. Look for mismatches: If a top-seeded player faces a lower-ranked one, the match could end quickly (e.g., 6-2, 6-1).
2. Avoid big servers: Matches with strong servers (e.g., John Isner, Reilly Opelka) often go to tiebreaks, which increases total games.
3. Surface matters:
   • Clay courts: More rallies, longer games, higher total.
   • Grass/Hard courts: Faster, sometimes shorter matches.
4. Check head-to-head stats: If two players often finish matches in straight sets, Under 25 may be safer.
