French Open betting in 2009 has the same storylines and the same favorites as in previous years. Rafael Nadal is considered the King of clay and he is a solid favorite in French Open. Many gamblers at the sportsbook will look to bet on French Open action and take Nadal to win.
French Open usually revolves around Nadal and Roger Federer. The problem for gamblers that bet on French Open action at the online sportsbook and take Federer is that he just can’t beat Nadal on clay. Nadal has won in French Open betting four straight years. Roland Garros betting has been all about Nadal in recent years.
French Open odds have Nadal as a 4-1 favorite at the sportsbook with no other player, including Federer at odds of less than double-digits. Federer is a distant second choice in French Open betting at 12-1. Just behind Federer in French Open is Novak Djokovic at 13-1. The only other player getting any kind of attention from gamblers who bet on French Open action at the online sportsbook is Andy Murray and he is 17-1. All of the other players on the men’s side in French Open betting are 35-1 or more. The French Open odds are definitely tilted towards Nadal and for good reason. Last year he didn’t lose even one set in rolling to the title.
Grand Slam betting is also popular on the women’s side in the French Open. In fact, the French Open odds on the women are a lot more competitive than on the men. There are a total of seven women that have odds of less than 10-1. Serena Williams is the 5-1 favorite with gamblers who bet on French Open action but she is no given in this tournament, especially coming off an injury. Right with Serena is Dinara Safina who is also 5-1 in French Open lines. Jelena Jankovic is next at 6-1 followed by Svetlana Kuznetsova at 7-1. Venus Williams, Ana Ivanovic and Elena Dementieva are listed at 9-1 each. Even Viktoria Azarenka and Vera Zvonareva are in the running at 11-1 in French Open betting.
As you look to bet the French Open this year you may want to focus more on the women’s side than the men’s unless you believe that Nadal is beatable. The women’s side is more wide open and offers better value.
