2009 FRENCH OPEN BETTING TIPS AND ODDS
Men’s Odds and Tips
Unsurprisingly, the bookmakers agree with the ATP Tour rankings with the top four players – Nadal ( 2/5 at PaddyPower ), Federer (11/2 at Victor Chandler ), Djokovic (9/1 at Victor Chandler ) and Murray (16/1 at Bet365 ) – at the shortest odds.
The Each Way Bet
Taking a look at outsiders – we at Gambling Source like the look of youngster Juan Martin Del Potro . This Argentine player is currently ranked 7th in the ATP rankings and is a consistent winner (7 tournaments) on clay.
Last year he had the second longest winning streak, behind Nadal and his game is well suited to the French Open.
Del Potro is well worth an each way bet – currently best odds of 40/1 at Victor Chandler , so bet now before people start to notice !

Each Way Betting Tip For Ladies Title
Elena Dementieva, runner up in 2004, is in good form at the moment – currently ranked number 4 in the world. She is a powerful player from the baseline, which should suit the surface and can play the long game.
Currently a best priced 8/1 at Bet365, this is a worthy each way bet.
HISTORY AND INFORMATION
The French Open (full name French Internationals of Roland Garros) is the second of the four Grand Slam Tournaments and is held in the middle of May, lasting two weeks.
The slow play surface and the lack of a tie-break in the final set means that it is one of the most physically demanding tennis tournaments in the world.
FRENCH OPEN TENNIS RECORDS
The record for the most wins of the Men’s singles title is 6 and is held by Bjorn Borg (Sweden). The record for the most wins of the Women’s Singles title is 7 and is held by Chris Evert (US).
