2024 French Open: Men’s favourites to win

Despite the list of talented players competing in the 2024 French Open, only some were able to engrave their names on the hearts of fans due to their immense skill and talent. If you’re excited to bet on the men’s singles, consider these men's French Open predictions on who’s most likely to win: 

Carlos Alcaraz

Rafael Nadal won’t be playing in the French Open due to an injury and the next star player after him known to thrive on clay courts is Carlos Alcaraz. Carlos's movement and baseline play are effective on this surface. 

Although he hasn't won Roland-Garros yet, Alcaraz is already a two-time Grand Slam champion, won the US Open in 2022, and Wimbledon in 2023. This experience on the biggest stages and his no.3 world rank bodes well for his French Open mens odds. 

Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic has won the French Open three times (2016, 2021, and 2023) which many believe gives him a mental edge over other players. He is also the no.1 player in the 2024 Men's Tennis ATP Rankings giving him a favourable draw. 

While not his best surface, Djokovic is a highly adaptable player with exceptional defence and tactical prowess, which can be effective on clay. His pedigree and overall experience make him a serious contender you shouldn’t miss out on when betting on the 2024 French Open. 

Daniil Medvedev

Many fans believe that winning and conquering the clay in the 2023 Italian Open has boosted Daniil Medvedev’s confidence and has proven his excellence on the surface. Ranked no.5 in the world, people look forward to Medvedev’s dominance in the early rounds. 

2024 French Open: Women’s favourites to win

Just like the men’s singles, the 2024 French Open women’s singles are also filled with immense competition from the sport’s top women players. Here are some of the Women's French Open predictions on who’s most likely to win the title: 

Iga Swiatek

Iga Swiatek is considered by many to be a force to be reckoned with on the clay surface. She won the French Open three times in 2020, 2022, and 2023. This experience and success give her immense confidence and a deep understanding of how to win at Roland-Garros.

She thrives on longer rallies with her powerful groundstrokes, especially her forehand which is perfect for the surface. Her exceptional footwork also allows her to slide and retrieve shots effectively, dictating the pace of play.

Aryna Sabalenka

While Iga Swiatek is a dominant contender for the title, Aryna Sabalenka is not to be neglected. Sabalenka boasts an aggressive game baseline that can overpower opponents on clay.

She also reached the finals of both the 2024 Madrid Open and the Italian Open on clay in the lead-up to Roland-Garros. While she lost to Swiatek in both finals, these deep runs showcase her ability to compete at the highest level on clay.

Coco Gauff

Coco Gauff is no stranger to victory, winning the 2023 US Open. She was also a strong runner-up in the 2022 French Open. This makes her a strong contender on the clay despite her immense talent on hard courts. 

Many fans take note of her powerful groundstrokes and athleticism that translate well to clay. She can dictate rallies with her deep forehand and is comfortable sliding and retrieving shots, making her one of the top players with a high 2024 French Open womens odds to win.
