French Open Betting Favorites in Fine Form. And this year should be one of the most exciting years in the French Open odds action that we’ve seen in years.With many of the top players in tennis betting at the top of their game and perennial favorite Rapha Nadal not in pique form this year’s French Open looks to be wide open.Nadal, the greatest clay court player of his tennis betting generation -and perhaps ever- has had a half decade strangle-hold on the French Open title. He has been the king of Roland Garros. In 2009 he lost failed to win his fifth straight French Open odds title when he lost his first match in five years in Paris.
And, as every tennis betting fan knows, that opened the door for world number one Roger Federer to win his first French Open title of his illustrious career and completed the career tennis betting Grand Slam.
Federer will enter this year’s French Open betting as the defending champion for the first time ever and will not let this prestigious sports betting title go easily. Nadal had a rough year in the tennis betting last season. Just when it seemed the world #2 was finally ready to overtake Federer as the greatest player in the tennis odds action, injuries struck and his game got rusty.
But over the past few weeks his game has gotten stronger and stronger. And with all the major clay tournaments in Europe just around the corner, not matter what his ranking in the ATP betting odds might be, he will no doubt be the favorite in the French Open odds action. Federer is at the top of his game despite recently being knocked out the semi-finals at the Sony Ericsson. He’s already one Grand Slam title this year and this could be his last chance to capture all four of tennis betting’s biggest events in one season.
Nadal would not only love to prevent this from happening and is more than capable of doing this. Even at 85%, Nadal will be the best player in the French Open this year. But as indicated by his recent play he should be 100% by the time play at Roland Garros begins. Nadal recently won his sixth straight Monte Carlos Masters title and looked to be in top form in the process.
