- Jannik Sinner enters the French Open as the men’s favorite, boasting a 29‑match winning streak (26 in straight sets) and three consecutive clay titles (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome).
- Carlos Alcaraz will miss at least the next two Grand Slams, including the French Open, due to a wrist injury, removing a top contender from the draw.
- Iga Swiatek is the women’s favorite, with DraftKings odds of +250.
- Aryna Sabalenka is dealing with worrisome health issues ahead of the French Open.
- Novak Djokovic and fellow veteran Alexander Zverev anchor the bottom half of the men’s draw, adding experienced depth to the field.
Why it matters: Sinner’s -310 odds make him the clear betting favorite, driving higher wagering on his matches, while Alcaraz’s injury eliminates his betting market, redirecting bettors and sponsor focus toward other contenders.
