2026 French Open Betting Tips


The pinnacle of the clay court season culminates at Roland Garros with the 125th edition of the French Open.

The second Grand Slam event in 2026 will be held from 24 May to 7 June and features all the best players in men's and women's tennis.

The tournament was rocked due to Carlos Alcaraz's withdrawal due to a wrist injury. The Spaniard has won the past two titles in Paris and his absence leaves the door open for Jannik Sinner to break through and win the career Grand Slam.

Iga Swiatek saw her quest for a fourth straight title come to an end in 2025, Coco Gauff beating Aryna Sabalenka to claim her first French Open title. Sabalenka will be chasing her first title at Roland Garros.
