Does Nadal have anything left?
Rafael Nadal (+110) was cruising Down Under before a shocking quarter-finals defeat to World No. 6 Stefanos Tsitsipas that saw him lose despite being two sets up. Novak Djokovic (+225) went on to win his ninth Australian Open title and 18th Grand Slam trophy, pulling him within two of Nadal and Roger Federer (+1600), who should be healthy for the French Open after missing a whole year recovering from two knee surgeries.
Given Nadal has only won twice in his last 16 appearances at majors outside of Paris, the pressure will be squarely on the 34-year-old to hold serve on clay with Djokovic breathing down his neck. The 33-year-old Serbian is the last man not named Nadal to win at Roland Garros, claiming the 2016 title, but the Spaniard thumped him in last year’s final in straight sets.

Dominic Thiem (+400) didn’t get past the quarter-finals in the 2020 French Open, but he defeated Djokovic in the semi-finals in 2019 before losing to Rafa in the final. The 2020 US Open champion also fell to Nadal in the 2018 final and the 2017 semi-finals, so the snake-bitten Austrian has enjoyed considerable success in Paris despite never winning.
While longshots have rarely paid off in an era dominated by Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, Diego Schwartzman (+3300) is a solid bet considering he made the semi-finals last year and the quarter-finals in 2018 before losing to Nadal both times.

Swiatek and Halep co-favored in women’s draw
Reigning champion Iga Swiatek (+500) and 2018 winner Simona Halep (+500) are co-favorites in the Women’s 2021 French Open, with 2019 victor Ashleigh Barty (+1000) and 2016 champ Garbiñe Muguruza (+1000) also expected to be in the mix.
Nadal French Open 2020 Odds
Past performance has not been indicative of future results at Roland-Garros, however, as Serena Williams (+1400) and Maria Sharapova have been the only two women to win the tournament more than once over the past decade.
Simply stunning ✨

Quickly becoming the new face of women’s tennis, Naomi Osaka (+1000) may have trouble following up her Australian Open triumph given that she has never advanced past the third round in Paris. Bianca Andreescu (+1000) is an even worse bet as she recently hurt herself again after just coming off a 15-month injury layoff.
The best betting approach to the women’s draw may be to monitor who’s playing well on clay heading into the tournament in May. Check back for our updated picks in the weeks and months to come.

Nadal's expected showdown with Roger Federer fails to materialize.
Rafael Nadal can join Roger Federer atop the list for the most grand slam singles titles in a career when he takes on Novak Djokovic in the 2020 French Open men's singles final on Sunday on Court Philippe-Chatrier at Roland Garros in Paris. Nadal enters the final with 19 grand slam singles titles, one fewer than Federer's record of 20. (Djokovic is third, with 17.) A victory by Nadal on Sunday would give him 13 French Open singles titles and a 100-2 record at Roland Garros. Meanwhile Djokovic is looking for just his second French Open title. First serve on Sunday is 2 p.m. ET.
William Hill lists Nadal as a -150 favorite (risk $150 to win $100) in the latest Nadal vs. Djokovic odds, with Djokovic listed at +120 (risk $100 to win $120). You can also pick whether Nadal will cover the 2.5-game spread and how many sets the match will last, among other wagering options. Before making any Nadal vs. Djokovic picks, see the 2020 French Open men's final predictions from elite tennis handicapper Sean Calvert.
Calvert is the elite tennis handicapper who took down a huge score on Dominic Thiem winning Indian Wells at 80-1 last year, among many other stunning calls. He's racked up seven straight profitable seasons betting tennis.
At Wimbledon last year, Calvert told his followers to grab 3-1 odds on Djokovic facing Roger Federer in the final, adding Djokovic would win it all. The result: Djokovic and Federer cruised into the finals, with Djokovic winning the longest men's singles final in tournament history for his fifth Wimbledon crown. Anyone who followed Calvert's advice was handsomely rewarded.
Nadal French Open Odds
Now, Calvert has broken down the latest odds for the men's final and released his coveted bets. Head to SportsLine to see them.
Top 2020 French Open men's final predictions
Calvert likes the Set 1 score to be 6-4, a wager that's +240 at William Hill. In the last 12 sets that Djokovic and Nadal have played at major tournaments, six have finished 6-4. In addition, four of the seven sets that the two have played in the French Open have ended in that scoreline.
So far in this tournament, four of the 18 sets that Nadal has played have ended 6-4, and four of the 21 sets that Djokovic has played have finished with that score. Even though the 6-4 score provides the shortest price of any of the first-set scores offered by William Hill, Calvert believes the +240 is value.
How to make Nadal vs. Djokovic picks
Calvert has two other plays that each pay more than +400 and offer excellent value. You need to see his picks and analysis before you consider any 2020 French Open bets.
