Tip when betting on the French Open
There is certainly plenty of value to be at the French Open, so don’t be shy about investing your hard earned on the little known player from Argentina, Spain or France when they are up against a well known grass court player like Tim Henman for example.
Fancied players such as Lleyton Hewitt, Tim Henman, Andy Roddick and even current World Number 1 Roger Federer have all been dispatched in the early rounds at the French Open by a lucky long shot. Half of the world’s top 10 ranked players are certainly not of the same quality on the red clay of Roland Garros as they are on a hard court or even the hallowed turf of Wimbledon. Study the form and previous results of this season; there is certainly always value at the French Open for your punting dollar.
2005 French Open- Main Contenders:
Needless to say, World number one Roger Federer will be the man to beat despite his past history of enjoying limited success at the French Open. As mentioned above, on clay the Swiss Ace is certainly vulnerable. He made it through to the third round last year before falling to three-time winner Gustavo Kuerten. His previous two assaults on the title ended with first round losses to Peru's Luis Horna (who?) and flashy Moroccan Hicham Arazi.
Defending champion Gaston Gaudio became the first Argentinean since Guillermo Vilas in 1977 to win the French Open at Roland Garros. He will again be a major player at this year’s event having already won two clay court titles in both Chile and Argentina earlier this year. Made it through to the quarters at the Barcelona Open before being bundled out by Juan Carlos Ferrero. Will no doubt make his presence felt when he defends his French Open Crown.
