French Open

French Open Tennis Betting

The second Grand Slam tennis tournament of the year is sure to produce plenty of exciting French Open betting opportunities for punters. It typically proves wise to stick to players with a strong baseline game because the surface is clay, rather than the serve and volley approach that is more of a weapon on the grass courts of Wimbledon.

Nadal Dominates French Open Bets
Spanish supremo Rafael Nadal is typically towards the head of the French Open betting market for the men’s singles at Roland Garros. Nadal has been dominant on clay in recent years and it has paid to follow him in the French Open betting as he has won the Grand Slam in seven of the last eight years. However, the French Open is the one Grand Slam that still evades Novak Djokovic and the world number one will want to complete his CV. Because of his dominance of the men’s tennis circuit in 2011, there is even the possibility that Djokovic will begin the French Open as favourite.

Outsiders at big French Open Odds
While Nadal and Djokovic head the French Open betting, there are many other players to consider who could spring a surprise at much bigger French Open odds.

British fans will be casting an eye over the French Open betting for Andy Murray’s price. The Scot has yet to win a Grand Slam, but he’s been getting ever nearer. Juan Martin del Potro is getting his game back in order and could be a threat, alongside Robin Soderling, who has twice made the French Open final.
