French Open Betting, Most entertaining Slam in Tennis. The tennis betting world has now shifted its eyes to the red and yellow shades of the clay surface and the sports betting hype and hoopla in the run-up to the French Open action has begun in earnest.
This is one of the best times of the year to be a tennis fan with the smell of spring in the air, the flowers in bloom and the French Open odds just weeks away. The Aussie Open wagering starts off the new year of tennis as the first Grand Slam event of the year but then there’s a bit of a lull in the schedule until the hard court tennis betting picks up a bit at Indian Wells and the big sports betting extravaganza at Key Biscayne before the preliminary clay events begin in Europe.
The French Open is the granddaddy of all clay events as any French Open fan well knows and -to borrow vocabulary from the great Andre Agassi– “dirt rats” across the world unite as this is the only time of the year the sports betting world pays much mind at all to this rare breed of tennis player.
As anyone that has ever bet the French Open odds knows, this is not your typical tournament. Clay court tennis has a style all to itself and the clay specialists that dominate the draw in the French Open action are a different breed of players as well. The players tend to be a bit eccentric and so is their game.
But one thing is certain, is that all the successful players in the French Open are supremely fit and the points on the courts at Roland Garos are the most difficult to win in all of tennis. And as a spectator, or a bettor of French Open betting lines, this makes for some terrific sporting entertainment.
So if you’ve never watched any of the tennis betting action at the French Open you simply cannot miss the 2010 edition. Even if you know very little about tennis it doesn’t matter. As soon as you see one of these marathon sets being played by two supreme athletes on the dark brown surface you’ll be hooked on the sports betting action in no time.
