French Open betting is different than other Grand Slam betting events because it is on clay. There are some players that do well on clay while others do not. The surface is definitely an important factor to consider as you bet on French Open tennis action.
French Open is greatly impacted by which players are good on clay and which ones are not. Rafael Nadal has simply been unbeatable on clay for years and he is a 1-4 favorite to win in French Open in 2009 at the sports book. Roger Federer has never won the French Open but he has played well enough on clay to make the finals recently but he is not a clay court specialist. The same can probably be said about most players in French Open betting. Clay is usually not a player’s favorite surface.
How will the surface affect the player you choose in French Open ? It is an important question to answer as you bet on French Open action this year at the online sportsbook. Keep in mind that in French Open betting that the clay surface causes another issue and that is conditioning. The men play best of five sets and there are no tiebreakers in the French Open. Players must be in great shape to win in French Open . That makes going against Rafael Nadal at the sports book risky as you bet on French Open odds since he is considered in great shape and perhaps the best player ever on clay. Some gamblers might want to take a shot as they bet on French Open tennis with a player like Andy Murray or Novak Djokovic but has either of those two players proven they can hold up in a long match?
If you are looking at French Open odds at the online sportsbook you will see only four players on the men’s side with any kind of chance. Nadal is a huge favorite in French Open betting and then there are three darkhorse candidates and then nobody. Federer and Djokovic are 12-1 while Murray is 17-1. The next player as you look to bet on French Open odds is Fernando Verdasco and he is almost 40-1. That shows you how top heavy the men’s French Open betting odds are.
The women’s side of French Open betting is much more wide open with as many as 7-10 players who might have a chance.
