Odds as of May 30, 2025
Carlos Alcaraz: Each year Alcaraz has competed in the French Open, he's improved his finish, culminating with the men's singles title last year. The young superstar seems to prefer clay surfaces, as he's won nine of his 18 titles on clay surfaces, and this season alone, he is 17-1 on clay following wins in the first two rounds of the French Open.
Jannik Sinner: In his already storied career, Jannik Sinner has won two of the four tennis majors. However, the French Open is one of the two he's never won, as his best finish came last season when he was eliminated in the semi-finals. Unlike Alcaraz, the Italian is not a fan of clay playing surfaces, as he's only won one title on clay in his career.
Alexander Zverev: It is only a matter of time until the young German wins his first major title. Last season, Zverev fell in the title to Carlos Alcaraz, in what was his first French Open title after three straight semi-final appearances. Zverev also recently fell in the title at the 2025 Australian Open, but if there is any event that Zverev should thrive at, it is the French Open, since he has won nine of his career titles on clay.

Odds as of May 30, 2025
Iga Swiatek: Out of her five Grand Slam titles, four of them have come from the French Open. Swiatek thrives on clay surfaces, and since 2021, she has hoisted the trophy at Roland Garros. However, her dominance at the French Open could be ending this season if she does not get her confidence back in a hurry. After a rough showing in Rome, Swiatek fell on the odds board a bit, but since the start of the tournament has worked her way back to being the favorite.
Aryna Sabalenka: There are two Grand Slam events that Sabalenka has not won yet in her career, and the French Open is one of them. In fact, Sabalenka has only reached the semi-finals of the French Open once since her debut in 2017. As she looks to change that, Sabalenka opened the first round of the 2025 French Open with a dominant win in straight sets.
Coco Gauff: While she has come close a few times, Coco Gauff has yet to win the French Open. Last season, Gauff fell in the semi-finals to the eventual winner, Iga Swiatek. Gauff has indeed shown that she likes playing on clay, but her recent problem has been closing out events, as her dominance has seemingly come to a halt when playing in the finals of clay events.

ATP and WTA rankings can be the downfall of casual bettors looking to wager on the French Open. These rankings factor in overall success across all tournaments, but what bettors need to focus on is how players perform on different surfaces. In the case of betting on the French Open, they need to dive into how successful players are on clay courts, as it takes a special skill set to find success on clay.
Historically, clay courts have led to a slow pace of play with higher bounces and many rallies. This style of play requires a lot of stamina, high-level sliding ability, and strategic patience. Some of these aforementioned skills can be hard to come by, so even some of the top-ranked players in the world may not possess them.
By identifying which players could have an edge on clay courts, bettors can, in turn, create an edge for themselves. Iga Swiatek is an excellent example of this. In her first five Grand Slam tournaments, she did not advance past the fourth round; yet, in her second-ever French Open, she won the title after opening with odds of (+5000). Bettors who noticed how she played in places like Monte Carlo and Rome before 2020 may have been able to win big by betting on her success on clay, which has since led to three more French Open singles titles.
