Novak Djokovic is the defending French Open men’s champion. He’s actually won two of the last three at Roland Garros. Sandwiched in between his 2021 and 2023 victories is one from the all-time leader in wins at the French Open, Rafael Nadal. The Spaniard has won the French Open a total of 14 times. He has three separate win streaks of at least four consecutive French Open wins.
2024 French Open Odds
Despite his career success, the 37-year-old Nadal is given +1200 odds and is among the first tier of contenders. This year’s French Open favorite is Carlos Alcaraz (+175). He’s followed by Djokovic at +275 and Jannick Sinner at +400. Last week’s Internazionale BNL d’Italia winner Alexander Zverev is next on the board at +600.
On the women’s side, Iga Swiatek is the two-time defending French Open champion. She is the favorite to three-peat at -138. Swiatek is ranked No. 1 in the world and has won three of the past four at the French Open. She won the Internazionale BNL d’Italia in Rome just last weekend.
