by Matt Zitt - 8/27/2024

This week marks the final major of the 2024 tennis season, and it is time for the US Open. The single draws were released late last week, and it is time to break down the action that will take place over the next two weeks in Flushing Meadows, New York. Novak Djokovic heads into the tournament as the defending champion and is looking for his 25th career major title.

by Chris Vasile - 5/27/2021

We are just a few days away from the start of the 2021 French Open tournament, and I for one could not be more excited about it. Originally this tournament was slated to start on May 24 but it was pushed back a week due to COVID issues. Nonetheless, the tournament will go off as planned, and we will be with you every step of the way to help you sort through the chaos that Roland Garros has to offer. There are plenty of storylines to cover, so let’s get right into it.

2018 French Open Betting Preview: Men's and Women's Expert Predictions
by Ricky Dimon - 5/25/2018

According to the odds-and perhaps even according to common sense-they are all playing for second place on the men's side at Roland Garros. Rafael Nadal, who is bidding for an 11th French Open title, has once again been the best player on clay this season. Playing for second is often what transpires on the WTA Tour, but Serena Williams is understandably not in peak form these days. Serena's vulnerability could blow the door wide open for a whole host of contenders.

2016 Wimbledon Betting Picks: Odds and Predictions for Women's Bracket
by Ricky Dimon - 6/24/2016

As expected, both the Australian Open and French Open finals earlier this season involved Serena Williams. Much more surprisingly, she failed to finish the job on either occasion. Serena suffered a stunning upset at the hands of Angelique Kerber before being the victim of a less-shocking-but still unexpected-result at Roland Garros, where Garbine Muguruza took down the top seed. Will Wimbledon be Serena's time to restore order to the WTA Tour, or is another shocker in the cards?

2016 Wimbledon Betting Picks: Odds and Predictions for Men's Bracket
by Ricky Dimon - 6/23/2016

Can anyone challenge Novak Djokovic? That will be the question starting next Monday when the tennis world descends upon southwest London for the Wimbledon Championships. So far this season, the answer has been "no"-at least not when it matters. Djokovic won both the Australian Open and French Open (not to mention many other significant tournaments) and is two legs away from a calendar-year Grand Slam.

US Open Tennis Predictions: Expert Picks for Men's and Women's Draw
by Alan Matthews - 8/28/2015

I'm a big tennis fan. I can remember pretending I was Jimmy Connors -- I was definitely a Connors guy over John McEnroe -- when practicing against one of those boards every weekend back as a kid. I still play the game. It's great exercise and generally free (unlike golf in both categories).

2014 US Open Tennis Picks, Odds and Predictions for Men’s and Women’s Draw
by Alan Matthews - 8/22/2014

Dedicated tennis fans tend to favor Wimbledon as the most prestigious of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments each year. I can't argue with that. However, obviously the vast majority of American tennis fans and bettors prefer the U.S. Open. Obviously, there's the simple fact it's played in the States and thus at normal times to our body/betting clocks. The Australian Open is played in the middle of the night U.S. time, while the French and Wimbledon have their finals in the morning USA time. The U.S. Open is all about prime-time TV.

2014 French Open Picks and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 5/23/2014

It's time to care about tennis again starting Sunday as the second major of the season, the French Open, begins at Roland Garros in Paris. It's easily the most unfamiliar major to Americans, a vast majority of whom have never seen a clay court in person like at the French in their lives, much less played on one. I have played on the surface; it definitely alters your game (nothing beats grass).

2014 Australian Open Picks and Tennis Betting Odds
by Alan Matthews - 1/8/2014

The Australian Open is rather overlooked in the tennis grand slam scheme of things much like the PGA Championship is in golf. I can see why, at least from an American point of view, because it's hard to think of tennis this early in the year, and most of the matches are in the middle of the night (PGA is near start of football season).

US Open Tennis Picks: First Round Betting Predictions
by Ricky Dimon - 8/26/2013

The curse of upsetting Rafael Nadal at a Grand Slam may be a real thing. Steve Darcis did it in round one at Wimbledon earlier this summer then withdrew from his next match due to a shoulder injury. He has not played a single match since. Rosol accomplished the feat last season at the All-England Club and has virtually not been heard from again. The Czech has lost an almost hard to believe eight matches in a row dating back to mid-June.

2013 US Open Picks and Tennis Betting Odds
by Ricky Dimon - 8/25/2013

Back in the mid-2000s, Grand Slam tournaments in men’s tennis were little more than foregone conclusions while a while host of women battled it out for titles th tournaments that were mostly wide-open. Roger Federer was at the peak of his power, but the Williams sisters at times grew tired of their dominance and instead focused on off-the-court endeavors.

2013 Wimbledon Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 6/21/2013

The Masters of the tennis world begins Monday at the All England Club outside of London with the most prestigious tennis tournament on the planet, the Championships at Wimbledon. The French Open and Wimbledon are somewhat foreign to a vast majority of Americans because unless you grew up rather entitled, you probably never played on clay like in Paris or the grass as at Wimbledon.

French Open Picks Day 12 With Odds and Nadal vs Djokovic Predictions
by Ricky Dimon - 6/6/2013

This is a matchup that transcends tennis. It pits two of the three most popular players in the sport and the two best players in the world (contrary to what the current rankings say) against each other. One is trying to complete the final piece to his career Grand Slam puzzle (Djokovic has won the other three slams at least once). The other is trying to extend his record by winning an eighth title at Roland Garros. Sports fan across the board should love this.

French Open Picks Day 10 With Odds and Predictions
by Ricky Dimon - 6/3/2013

This Roland Garros quarterfinal showdown is massively-hyped, and why not? The French fans — no matter that their soft spot for Federer is softer than soft — have plenty of reasons to believe in their country’s top player. Tsonga has not dropped a set this fortnight, and he is coming off a 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 destruction of Viktor Troicki. He has defeated Federer three times in his career, and two of their last three Grand Slam encounters went to five sets (including in this year’s Australian Open quarters).

French Open Picks Day 6 With Odds and Predictions
by Ricky Dimon - 5/30/2013

Make no mistake about it, Monfils has been the story of Roland Garros up to this point in the tournament. He upset world No. 6 Tomas Berdych 7-6(8), 6-4, 6-7(3), 6-7(4), 7-5 then got past a red-hot Ernests Gulbis 6-7(5), 6-4, 7-6(4), 6-2 in round two. If you think this came completely out of nowhere for the flamboyant Frenchman, however, think again. Yes, Monfils missed part of this season and much of last due to injury. However, he won a Challenger title earlier this month and reached the Nice final only one week ago.

French Open Picks Day 5 With Odds and Predictions
by Ricky Dimon - 5/29/2013

Almost everyone wants to see a Rosol vs. Rafael Nadal rematch in the third round, and it would take place if both players win on Thursday. Rosol, of course, stunned Nadal in five sets last summer at Wimbledon before the Spaniard was sidelined for seven months. On clay, however, it would not end well for Rosol. The big-hitting Czech won his first career title on clay last month in Bucharest, but he prefers to implement his power game on a faster surface.

French Open Picks Day 4 With Odds and Predictions
by Ricky Dimon - 5/28/2013

A showdown between two mercurial players such as Gulbis and Monfils is always tough to call, but the edge here has to go to Gulbis. The 40th-ranked Latvian is a huge hitter, but he has actually enjoyed his most consistent results on clay. Gulbis is a former French Open quarterfinalist (2008), a former Rome semifinalist (2010), and he is coming off a third-round performance earlier this month in Rome, where he eventually lost to Rafael Nadal 6-4 in the deciding set. The 24-year-old boasts a 20-7 match record for the season.
