French Open Current Odds
Betting Analysis and Value Picks
5/22/10
Below are the current updated odds to win the 2010 French Open in Roland Garros.
We have listed the odds to win the tournament for both the Men and Women,
courtesy of Sports Interaction.
We also offer analysis of the event with a look at the contenders as well as
some decent value longshots worth taking a look at.
Nadal is back in 2010 as the King of Roland Garros looks to reclaim his
crown. At -278 the Spaniard is hot favorite to rebound from his early exit it
last year and win the title but don’t get too hot on Nadal. While he owns a win
over Roger Federer from last week’s Madrid Open, Nadal showed he wasn’t
invincible last year and one of the best bets to take the title in 2010 is his
conqueror Robin Soderling at +3300. The Swede is the World number 7 and made it
all the way to the final last year, inflicting the only defeat Nadal has ever
suffered at Roland Garros in the process. With an extra year’s experience under
his belt Soderling offers great value as an underdog.
Don’t count out defending champion Roger Federer. The World number 1 is going
through a slump at present but only by the extraordinary standards Tennis fans
set for the greatest of all time. A poor performance in the final of the Madrid
Masters has helped push out the odds on Federer to +275. It’s rare to get this
kind of value on a player with the potential to hit his top form at any moment.
While Federer and Soderling offer great value, when it comes to the crunch back
Nadal to win big with Sports Interaction.
In the women’s draw the golden rule of never bet against Serena doesn’t apply in
Roland Garros. The more successful of the Williams sisters saves her best for
the Grand Slams but clay lessens her ability to physically dominate opponents.
All that being said, at +550 Serena is a great value bet certainly capable of
pulling through. Justine Henin is my pick to win it all even at +150. She had a
murderer’s row of a draw in Australia, her first Grand Slam since ending her
retirement, and still nearly came through. Now Henin returns to her favorite
surface with a likely more favorable draw. This tournament is almost made for
here.
Outside of the big two there are plenty of good options. The best shot of the
underdogs is Jelena Jankovic, who at +500 is actually second-favorite and it’s
easy to see why. Having failed to win the big one until this year, Jankovic
finally silenced her critics by winning in Indian Wells. Jankovic followed that
up with wins over both Venus and Serena Williams in Rome to cement her status as
the form player of the year to date.
Two other outsiders worth considering are Aravane Rezai, at +1100, and Maria
Jose Martina Sanchez, at +1600. Rezai will have her home French crowd behind her
in Roland Garros and comes into the tournament having won in Madrid last week.
Sanchez has been a consistent clay court player throughout her career and won in
Rome earlier this year. While the underdogs look tempting I can’t see the
favorite faltering, back Justine Henin to win big with Sports Interaction.
