French Open betting from Roland Garros is one of the four Grand Slam betting tournaments each year. Online betting gamblers can bet on French Open action when the tournament begins in late May and watch it conclude the first week of June.
French Open is not as popular as Wimbledon or U.S. Open betting but it is a Grand Slam event and at least it gets more attention than the Australian Open. French Open is also unique among the four tournaments since it is the only one played on clay. That makes handicapping a bit different as some big Roland Garros betting favorites will be on the online sportsbook board. Rafael Nadal is the odds-on French Open favorite on the men’s side because he is so good on the clay. Keep in mind that the matches can be long since it is a best of five sets on the men’s side with no tiebreakers.
French Open has seen Nadal dominate the men’s side even though Roger Federer was the best player in tennis for many years. That role has now gone to Nadal as he not only wins in French Open but also in other major events. Nadal is such a big favorite in French Open that Federer, as good as he has been, is a far distant second choice at 12-1 at the online sportsbook.
When you get ready to bet on French Open tennis action you should remember that some players simply struggle on clay. They struggle on it every single year and you just can’t expect that to change. Look for the players that struggle on clay and at the same time look for clay court specialists as you bet on French Open tennis matches.
French Open betting gives you two main options. You can bet on a player to win the overall tournament or you can bet on the individual matchups in French Open betting. These online betting matchups really start getting interesting when the quarterfinals, semifinals and the final occur. The matchups are definitely an option to consider in French Open betting, especially on the men’s side where Nadal is such a big favorite.
The 2009 French Open begins on May 24th and concludes on June 7th. Take a look at the different French Open betting options as you bet on French Open tennis action this year.
