French Open Betting
Dating back to 1891, the French Open is one of the more historical Tennis tournaments, bringing together the world's greatest players to compete for this title.
This major tennis tournament is also called Roland-Garros, which also shares the stadium's name in which the tournament is played.
The Stade Roland-Garros in Paris, where the French Open is played, consists of clay courts. As an alternative playing surface, clay courts are preferred by some players, whilst others may favour traditional surfaces.
Recent years have seen two players dominating men's singles, but the main name is the legendary Rafael Nadal. The Spanish pro has developed an impressive record in the tournament, with one period resulting in five consecutive French Open wins.
The women's singles have been more varied, with various players rising to claim the French Open. Notable names include the US veteran Serena Williams.

When looking for 2024 tennis odds, the French Open will begin in late May and end in mid-June. There are 15 categories available for players to view and bet on ranging from Men’s Singles to wheelchair quad doubles. The best odds for the event will come in competitions where the knowledge of the competition is at its worst and it’s likely that the higher average of players will bet on the favourite. If you’re familiar with a version of Tennis that others might not be, that’s where you may find the best odds.
The main two areas of betting for the French Open are the singles for Men and Women. Match betting is where you’ll find the highest number of betting markets, particularly if you’re following popular players such as Novak Djokovic (who won the event in 2023) or Carlos Alcaraz. You might find the best odds by looking at younger players, who perhaps haven’t hit the lofty heights of success yet, such as Jannik Sinner, who looks like a fantastic talent with a lot of potential. Tennis fans will be the best placed to find the best odds in these occasions and as a Grand Slam, you will find odds consistently change for this event per match, particularly in comparison to smaller competitions.
French Open Outright Betting
With outright betting, you have the option to make predictions before the French Open has started, or you place bets on the individual match-ups that are happening at each round of the competition.
French Open Winner - Predict the tennis player that you think will win the French Open.
Match Result - For every knockout round played at the French Open, you will be able to find updated odds for predicting the result of that match-up. To win, correctly predict which player will win the game. If a player is ahead, they’ll have lower odds, the question to be asked is if they can stay ahead in a single match?
Handicap betting - Odds for any match-ups in the tournament that consist of a clear favourite and an underdog can be improved with handicap betting. For the French Open, a handicap bet could mean that the underdog starts the match with a 1.5-set lead. This would mean that the favourite must win with two sets.
Total games - Before a match has started, you can bet on how many games will be played in total. If a player is likely to win in straight sets, the total number of games will be low.
