Sorry @Jating

Regarding the mens side of the tournament, it looks like Nadal, Djokovic and Federer
are all on the same side of the draw! this means that everyone on the other side
have been handed a carrot in a chance for a semi/final slot.

Oh, what an unlucky draw for the big three, and this is the first time if I'm not mistaken.

Not very smooth sailing on the other draw as well, Medvedev vs Bublik in the first round, while Federer's conqueror Andujar will face Thiem.

In the ladies, Barty vs Swiatek might face each other in the semis.

@Jating while this is a tough draw but I’m sure that the top 3 will relish this opportunity, because they know if they win and progress ahead then they will further prove that they’re unbeatable. Also I expect Medvedev to win his match against Bublik, and therefore will check the odds for wagering a small amount on his victory.

Tough draw for the big 3, on the other hand, young gen will have to fight it out as well to face either Nadal, Djokovic or Federer in the finals. So I'm expecting Nadal to go to the finals here, against the best the young players have to offer.

For the ladies, I would say that Swiatek will be the early favorites to retain her crown.

The quarter-final round is expected in the second Grand Slam tournament Roland Garros for this season .
The draw is remarkable that it put the old generation on the same side and the young rising generation on the opposite side .
meaning that we will see a final between one of the best of this generation and one of the promising next generation in the near future.
Nadal is always the first candidate on the clay ground, because he is a king in these parts , although I wish Federer get to something, but it is very difficult because he returns from a major injury.

We've been talking about the how Nadal will be the favourite in the French Open, How about the ladies though? Lest we forgot, this is the break through grand slams for Iga Swiatek, can she defend the crown again this year?

Barty suffered a injury, Osaka so-so performance, who do you think can give Swiatek a competition or at least has a good chance to win in the ladies side?

This is what Stake.com has to offer for the French Open outright.

Nadal @1.79
Djokovic @4.30
Tsitsipas @6.80

So obviously, majority of tennis bettors here are correct. For me that's a good odd for Nadal in the beginning, maybe throw some good amount and see how it goes. Of course as a Tsitsipas fan boy, I will definitely put money on him regardless.

Nadal will always be the favourite in clay surface even if he losses the last tournament against Djokovic. And with the strength of his multiple trophies in French Open, I would say that he has hone and zone on his 14th crown.

Yes, he has been the favourite in almost any clay surfaces because that is Nadal expertise. While Djokovic is all around player and love fast surface. And Nadal winning against Djokovic just prove it and Nadal is just right on time performance wise before the Roland Garros.

But it will be a tough road for him, haven't seen the draw, but if he gets lucky and will not cross path with either Tsitsipas or Djokovic in the quarter finals, I think his chances of winning increases.

If he gets lucky, get a bye and maybe starts at round of 32 then he won't get either of the two. But there could be some players that will really challenge him before there are also a lot of good clay court, Sinner, Karatsev, Ruud, Berrettini to name a few.

Yea Medvedev has been nowhere for the clay season so far. Over the last 4 years I think
he has bowed out in the first round of RG. I think hard court is his favourite surface.

Its a pity and something future champions need to be mindful of, to be successful
on various different surfaces.

This is exactly my point, current young generations of players should be all around, and could adapt on different surfaces like Medvedev. At least Roger won a title at Roland Garros although we all know that clay is his weaknesses.

No surprised to see Nadal as the clear favourite, he just won against Djokovic and then we have Stefanos Tsitsipas getting ready to fight against Rafa and Novak, will be interesting to see how this years French Open will be like with a lot of good players trying to upset these 3.

The tournament, i.e. the qualification for the French Open, has begun. Tsitsipas is definitely in top form and one of the favorites for the final after bis Victors, even if he is older, the French Open title will again go over Nadal like in the recent years.

I just checked the odds for Nadal to win and it is only @1.85, which is too low for me to place a bet on.
Their might be some value in betting on Djokovic as his odd to win is @5.

As a series winner of the French Open, Nadal will of course have bad odds and I see it like you, a betting on Nadal as not useful. Will Nadal win his 14th French open tournament this year? There is of course the possibility, Nadal is in good shape again at the moment.

I would have thought Nadal would have shorter odds, I tried checking the sportsbet
outrights for Tsitsipas but its not showing any outrights ATM.

Anyone watch the UTS final between Taylor Fritz and Corentin Moutet? I just saw the
last 20 minutes and it was really entertaining. I dont know much about the rules but it looks
really fun and the players are really free to express themselves according to the winner, Moutet.

I have to say some of the shots by both players were really creative.

any thoughts?

My long shot though will be Medvedev, he is rank second, he need to prove that in a GS.

No point in trying that. Clay is his worst surface and by a long margin. Check his results on clay and you will see that his rank would probably be outside top 100 if all tournaments were on clay. In 4/5 last seasons he had a maximum of one win on clay.

Anyhow, I would tend to agree that he will be one of the favourite in the French Open, the way he is playing right now, and his mentally, will be hard pressed for anyone to beat him at this point. He is reaching his prime years as a tennis player.

Right, Tsitsipas has improved a lot in the last tournaments that he join, either quarter finals to finals for him, and I think he is 2/4 in his last 4 tournaments?

French Open is different though, there are a lot of players that elevated their game. I wanted to see Thiem go back in this tournament to make it a very competitive fight. My long shot though will be Medvedev, he is rank second, he need to prove that in a GS.

I lost my bet on Norrie +4.5. Tsitsipas was really playing good in this surface, I'm still going back to his lost to Djokovic, if not for the rain delay, he could have won it and goes against Nadal in the finals.

Easy win for Stepanos, I also thought that it might go down to 3 sets.

I also agree that him, Nadal and Djokovic will be the favorite entering the Roland Garros. Those 3 are just above the league. Pretty disappointing for Thiem actually, he seems to be losing some steam, maybe he wasn't 100% in the second half of the year due to the injury he suffered. Sinner might be a good underdog as well, together with Karatsev, Berrettini.

Norrie vs Tsitsipas now, first set tied, 2-2.

Tsitsipas beat Norrie in straight sets and won the title, I thought the match would last three sets but Tsitsipas was strong enough for Norrie, so He could finish the match in just two sets.

I agree, Tsitsipas was too strong for Norrie, last time, Tsitsipas lost a set against Musetti, but it seems he learn his lessons and doesn't want this one slip away.

Good for Norrie for reaching the finals though, all other rated players exited in the last 16 if I'm not mistaken and it's only Tsitsipas ranked second in this tournament who survives and eventually win the trophy. So him and Nadal will be the favorites in the French Open.

Happy with that result, ah it was kind of one sided really, Tsitsipas was indeed too strong.

Agree for Nadal and Tsitsi but you ahve forgotten Djokovic. He can go far for sure and nobody can count on win against him.

This should have been time to shine for Thiem, but he has had a lengthy pause and since his comeback he is just playing backhand slice instead of his very good top spin backhand. Not sure what has happened with him, I guess it must have been some injury and he is probably still unsure how much abuse his arm can take. As it stands now I am expecting early exit from him and will probably play handicaps on his opponents in first few matches.

There are 3 potentials for the final, Nadal, Djokovic and Tsitsipas, but indeed its
such a pity for Thiem, he was showing potential early after coming back from injury
but he is still in recovery mode, still another week before RG, he may get further than
many give him.
