Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Aryna Sabalenka lead French Open betting - ESPN

Tennis's second Grand Slam tournament of the year will see two familiar names atop each of the men's and women's oddsboards, though the order and odds accompanying those names could be somewhat unusual.

On the men's side, reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz (+105) and Jannik Sinner (+220) are easily the favorites to win the French Open, with three-time champion Novak Djokovic (+1100) a distant third on the board, according to ESPN BET odds. On the women's side, Aryna Sabalenka (+230) is the favorite to capture her first Roland Garros title, with Iga Swiatek (+340), winner of four of the past five French Opens, a decently close second.

Swiatek's history on the clay in Paris is about the only thing keeping her somewhat tight with Sabalenka: Since winning the tournament last June, Swiatek has not even reached a Grand Slam tournament final and has yet to win a singles tournament title in 2025. At the Olympics, played at Roland Garros, the 23-year-old only came home with a bronze medal.

Still, bettors are relying on her familiarity with the playing surface, rather than her recent form, to guide them to victory, as she's taken a leading 21.8% of handle to win the tournament at BetMGM. Swiatek's price has drifted to the mid-300s following an unfavorable draw revealed this week, making her all that more appealing to the betting public.

«At that price they're betting her,» DraftKings sportsbook director Johnny Avello told ESPN. «They don't care about recent form, they just feel like she's the horse for the course here. So she has been taking money and I think she'll continue to take money.»

The favorite Sabalenka is seeing some financial respect in her own right, attracting the most money at ESPN BET and the second-most wagers at
