French Open Betting Lines & Odds

The clay court season in tennis is so brief that fans of the sport have to take full advantage when it rolls around – the French Open, of course, being the headline act of the action on the slower orange courts.

Played each year at the famous Stade Roland Garros, where the crowd can be, shall we say, vociferous in their support of their favorite players, the French Open truly is a unique tournament – and one that all of the players are desperate to win.

All of tennis’ majors are difficult to win because they feature the finest players in the world doing battle in best-of-five set matches – there really is no easy game to be played at the Grand Slams.

The French Open is arguably the toughest of them all, with the stodgy surface at Roland Garros meaning that rallies last for longer – forcing the players into lung-bursting acceleration left, right, forwards and backwards.

Skill and guile is the name of the game at Roland Garros, rather than brute strength and power, which explains why the most talented players in history have lifted the French Open trophy.

The top 32 players on the planet are seeded into the main draw, with another 72 also taking their place in the main draw based upon their ATP rankings. Wild cards may be handed out to notable veterans who have dropped outside the top 100, as well as to talented French players, while a qualification tournament also enables 16 other players to earn their place in the field.

The 128 participants in the first round are then whittled down to 64, 32, 16, eight, four and two via a traditional bracket draw, with all matches played over the best-of-five set distance.

The finalists then duke it out for a chance to hoist the iconic trophy, as well as the small matter of $2.5 million in prize money – the men’s and women’s singles champions enjoy equal pay.

Betting on French Open tennis can be broken down into two broad categories: match betting and futures wagering.

Here’s a look at the most popular French Open tennis betting lines in each category.

Match Winner

The most straightforward of the French Open betting lines, here you’re simply tasked with predicting which of the two players will win the match.

There are more than 200 men’s and women’s singles matches at the French Open, and you can bet on every single one of them right here at BetVictor Canada.

Set Betting

There’s a host of different ways that you can wager on sets within a match.

The first is via correct score betting – will your chosen player win 3-0, 3-1 or 3-2 (or 2-0 or 2-1 in the women’s singles)?

You can also wager on how many sets will be played in total, who will win the first set and even set handicaps – that is, predicting which player will clear a -1 or -2 handicap, or those who will ‘win’ with a +1 or +2 set headstart.

Total Games

This is a popular market for those who bet on Roland Garros where they believe they have a clear read on how a match will pan out.

We provide a total game line, e.g. 29.5, and you can predict whether the match will have 30 or more games (the ‘overs’ line), or 29 or fewer games (the ‘unders’).

For matches you believe will be one-sided, the unders line might be the smart play, while closer-fought encounters that go deep may reward overs backers.

Handicap Betting

We’ve introduced set handicap betting already, and there’s also a range of lines for game handicaps too.

These pitch a game handicap (a minus number) on the favorite, and a game headstart (a positive number) on the underdog. You can then try to predict which player will ‘clear’ their handicap.

For example, let’s imagine Novak Djokovic is -5.5 against Carlos Alcaraz (+5.5). If the match finishes 6-3-6-2 6-2 to Djokovic, then he has won by eleven clear games – therefore, bets on his -5.5 would win.

Alternatively, if Djokovic won 7-6 7-6 7-5, his game lead would be four – in this case, handicap bets on Alcaraz at +5.5 would win, even though he lost the match.

Outright Winner

The main futures betting line for the French Open is the outright winner category.

This enables you to wager on the player (or players, if you want to spread your risk) that you think will lift the trophy. At BetVictor Canada, we offer each way lines – this means that you will secure a return on your bet even if your pick loses in the final.

When you use fractional odds for French Open betting, there’s just one key thing to note.

When the number on the left side of the fraction is larger than the number on the right, this represents ‘odds against’ – this player will be the underdog in the Roland Garros betting odds for that match.

When the number on the left is smaller than the digit(s) on the right, this player is considered to be ‘odds on’ – and therefore the favorite to win the match.

The only anomaly is the French Open tennis betting odds for outright winner – here, all of the players are likely to be odds-against before the tournament starts, due to how hard it is to predict who will win before a ball has been hit.
