Tennis is a sport that has grown in viewership and popularity in general as a whole, and therefore people would be inclined to stake bets on it. However, budding punters commit rudimentary mistakes that tend to cost them in the long run. One of such mistakes is not to study the preparation of players before entering a major competition and ascertain their physical condition prior to that. This will most likely result in a shock loss for that player.
 
Here are some common mistakes made in tennis betting:

- Insufficient analysis of players' form: Relying solely on players' ratings and failing to consider their current form, playing surface, and other factors.

- Underestimation of weather conditions and court condition: Ignoring the impact of weather and court conditions on the outcome of a match.

- Lack of research and analysis: Failing to conduct thorough research before placing bets, including neglecting factors like court surface, weather conditions, and player injuries.

- Emotion-based betting: Allowing personal preferences or biases to influence betting decisions rather than objective analysis.

- Chasing losses: Attempting to recover previous losses by increasing stakes or placing impulsive bets.

- Overlooking important factors: Neglecting factors like player fitness, injury status, and head-to-head records.

- Ignoring bankroll management: Failing to set a budget, assess appropriate stake sizes, and manage funds effectively.

- Betting without value: Failing to identify odds that offer a higher probability of success than implied by the bookmakers' odds.

- Not knowing the players in detail: Not knowing the players' strengths, weaknesses, and playing styles.

- Using only one sportsbook: Not exploring other sportsbooks for better odds, bonuses, and promotions.

- Not looking for the best odds: Not shopping around for the best prices available.

- No bankroll management: Not defining a staking plan and risking too much money per match.

- Chasing losses: Betting more to make up for lost money, leading to a vicious cycle of losses.
