French Open betting is one of the Grand Slam betting events that gets attention from sports betting gamblers each year. The 2009 French Open will begin in late May and continue through the first week of June. Sports betting gamblers will have a number of choices as they bet on French Open action this year.
French Open on the men’s side at a sports book starts with Rafael Nadal. There is really no other player to consider as you bet on French Open action on the men’s side. Nadal has dominated French Open betting and he is a 1-4 favorite to win this year’s tournament. Roger Federer is the second choice in French Open but at 12-1 he is not given much of a chance to upset Nadal. In French Open history it is Nadal that has tied Bjorn Borg with four straight French Open titles.
Last year on the women’s side in French Open it was Ana Ivanovic winning for gamblers who bet on French Open tennis. Ivanovic is considered one of the contenders in 2009 French Open betting but she is not the favorite at the sports book. Dinara Safina and Serena Williams are the two French Open betting favorites on the women’s side. Jelena Jankovic is next in French Open odds at 6-1 followed by Svetlana Kuznetsova at 7-1 and Venus Williams at 8-1. Gamblers that bet on French Open action know that Ivanovic is the defending French Open betting champ but she is 9-1 along with Elena Dementieva.
Some players love the clay courts in Paris while others do not. Roger Federer has never been able to win in Paris, largely because of Rafael Nadal. Other famous tennis players in history like Pete Sampras, Jimmy Connors and Martina Hingis never won the French Open. Other players love the clay courts and they are considered clay court specialists and favorites in Roland Garros betting. Nadal was in that category early in his career but now he is simply an excellent player on all surfaces and a favorite in Grand Slam betting. On clay though, he is unbeatable and a popular choice with gamblers who bet on French Open tennis.
French Open should be exciting in 2009 when the tournament begins in late May with Nadal leading the charge on the men’s side and a wide open tournament on the women’s side.
