What Is Asian Total – 2nd Set?
Asian Total (2nd Set) is a tennis betting market where you predict the total number of games played in the second set only, using Asian handicap-style lines (often whole numbers or .5).
This market reduces randomness compared to full-match totals and focuses purely on how competitive the second set will be.
It’s commonly available on professional tours such as the ATP Tour and the WTA Tour.
How Asian Totals Work in the 2nd Set
The bookmaker sets a line (e.g., 9.5, 10, 10.5 games). You choose Over or Under.
- Over = You expect a long, competitive second set
- Under = You expect a short, one-sided second set
Most Asian totals do not end in a draw when .5 is used.
Common Asian Total Lines (2nd Set)
| Line | Over Wins If | Under Wins If |
|---|---|---|
| Over/Under 9.5 | 10+ games | 9 or fewer games |
| Over/Under 10.5 | 11+ games | 10 or fewer games |
| Over/Under 8.5 | 9+ games | 8 or fewer games |
Practical Examples
Example 1: Over 9.5 Games (2nd Set)
Second set score options:
- 6–4 → 10 games (Over wins)
- 7–5 → 12 games
- 6–3 → 9 games (Over loses)
Bet wins if the second set reaches at least 10 games.
Example 2: Under 10.5 Games (2nd Set)
Second set score options:
- 6–4 → 10 games (Under wins)
- 6–3 → 9 games
- 7–5 → 12 games (Under loses)
Bet wins if the second set has 10 games or fewer.
Example 3: Tie-break Scenarios
- 7–6 second set = 13 games
- Over 10.5
- Under 10.5
Tie-breaks strongly favor Over bets.
