Tennis’ second Grand Slam Tournament of the Year shows two familiar names on each of the male and female Odden boards, but the order and odds associated with those names can be somewhat unusual.
According to ESPN BET odds, champions Carlos Alcaraz (+105) and Giannik Sinner (+220) are favourites for three-time champion Novak Djokovic (+1100) to win the French Open, a third on the board. On the women’s side, Alina Sabalenka (+230) is popular to win her first Roland Garros title.
Sweet’s history with Paris’ clay is the only thing that holds her back slightly in Sabalenka. Since winning the tournament last June, Swiecsk has not reached a singles title in 2025 and has not yet won a singles title at the Olympics.
Still, the bettors are leading them to victory to win the tournament at BetMGM, as they are leading them to victory, not recent form, but to lead them to victory, to lead them to victory. Swiatek’s prices were dragged into the mid-300s following a disadvantageous draw revealed this week, and she made it even more appealing to the betting masses.
“At that price, they’re betting her,” Johnny Averow, sportsbook director at Draftkings, told ESPN. “They don’t care about the shape these days. They feel she’s the horse on the course here, so she’s making money.
Sabalenka attracts the most money in ESPN BET and the second most bet in BETMGM, and has earned some respect for her own rights.
Alcaraz and Sinner are essentially above male odds and are alone for good reason, as they have won all the Grand Slam titles since the Australian Open in 2024. ESPN BET reports that a pair that has won nearly 50% of all tournament winners’ bets is only Alkaraz collecting 85.9% of the money, so bettors are following in supporting them.
The Spanish sense of winning the tournament was slightly reduced with the release of the men’s draw this week, but the sinner got a bit longer given the potential match of a potentially tough match, including a potential conflict course with Djokovic in the semi-finals.
Meanwhile, he is always eager to support his hometown heroes, throwing money behind Coco Goff (+500) on the women’s side, and Tommy Paul (+6600) at the boys. BETMGM identifies both players as key debt, with Avello particularly highlighting the dangers of Draftkings against Paul.
In general, tennis is one of the more popular niches of sports betting, and what the vice president of ESPN BET Sportsbook Strategy and Growth Adam Landeka calls it “one of the most popular sports on the steering wheel.” Both he and Abelo noted in particular that the French Open is the second most betting tennis tournament of the year on a daily basis, only tracking US Opens that enjoy Primetime viewing late on the sports calendar.
