French Open Tournament Background
Centrebet offers a full range of French Open tennis betting options on the second Grand Slam tournament of the year.
The French Open at Roland Garros in Paris is the only one on which the matches are played on clay courts, with the Australian Open (hard courts), Wimbledon (grass courts) and US Open (hard courts) contested on much quicker surfaces.
The French Open began as a strictly domestic event in 1891. It did not blossom into the international tournament that we know and love today until seven years after World War I. Centrebet's tennis betting odds include unbeatable offers on all four grand slam tournaments in which the sport's elite competitors compete annually.
Centrebet's French Open Tennis Betting Options
French Open betting odds fall into two categories: futures betting and match betting.
Future betting comes in various guises but odds on the championship winner is the most popular of all. Centrebet makes it possible for tennis fans to bet on their favourite player(s) before or during the competition.
The real action, however, takes place in match betting throughout the event. Centrebet frames markets on each encounter, quoting odds on everything from the raw result (for example, Andy Roddick to beat Marat Safin in the quarter-finals) to the number of aces that Djokovic sends down (for example, 0-6 inclusive, 7-12 inclusive or more than 12).
Centrebet's French Open Tennis Betting Favourites
Centrebet loves French Open betting because it is the most unpredictable of the grand slams, with many odds-on favourites losing in the opening rounds. The championship is wide open compared to those of the Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open because of the clay factor, although there are some obvious contenders. Spaniard Rafael Nadal is the man to beat whenever it comes to playing on clay, and he looks tough to beat again after some impressive form in the warm up tournaments. The women’s draw is a bit more even spread, with names like Wozniacki, Clijsters and Zvonareva all in contention. Centrebet provides tennis betting options on all the Grand Slam tennis events - the four major prize money tournaments. Aside from the French Open, Centrebet also offers Australian Open tennis betting in January; Wimbledon odds in June/July; and US Open tennis betting opportunities in August/ September each year.
