In the French Open bets and odds of the bookmakers before the start of the clay court classic (May 24 to June 7), there was a big favorite: Jannik Sinner! Will the season dominator also win in Roland Garros and thus complete his “career Grand Slam” – that was the big question in the run-up.
After Sinner’s surprising second-round exit, however, this has changed – the field is open and there are now many title contenders. Alexander Zverev too!
Here are all French Open winner bets listed with the current tournament winner odds – as well as the betting odds for the top matches of the day.
French Open Betting 2026: The Favorites in Men’s Singles
For both the tennis experts and the best sports betting providers, it is clear before the start of the French Open 2026: There is only one favorite. This is Jannik Sinner.
The Sinner odds for a triumph at the French Open 2026 are only about 1.30 before the start of the tournament, which means that winning the title is expected with a probability of around 76 percent.
The forecast in the French Open bets is also so clear because defending champion Carlos Alcaraz is missing due to injury.
Behind Sinner follows a large chasing group in the French Open winner odds – led by Alexander Zverev. However, he is already sent to the clay court classic with a tournament winner odds of 11.0. The chance of victory is the equivalent of only about 9 percent.
French Open Odds: Sinner the big favorite
Jannik Sinner is currently the measure of all things in the tennis world. The Italian has not lost a match since mid-February. During this period, he won the five Masters tournaments in Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Madrid and most recently in Rome – and looked almost invincible several times.
With this series, he has achieved something historic: Sinner has won all nine Masters tournaments at least once. Only Novak Djokovic has achieved this in tennis history before. And: Only Rafael Nadal has managed to win all three clay masters (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome) in a row before.
If Sinner continues his run at the French Open and wins at Roland Garros, he will set the next historic milestone – after all, the French Open is the only Grand Slam tournament he has not yet won. He would complete his career Grand Slam with it.
Last year, Sinner was close, but then lost the historic final against Carlos Alcaraz. This is missing this year – is the way now clear for Sinner the tennis annals?
In view of Sinner’s outstanding form and the retirement of his last serious competitor, the question arises in view of the clear French Open winner odds: Who can stop Sinner from winning the title in Paris at all?

Roland Garros betting odds: Who still has a chance of winning the title?
Due to the absence of Alcaraz, the Paris winner of 2024 and 2025, Alexander Zverev not only moves up one place in the seeding list to 2, but also in the bookmaker ranking for “Who will win the French Open 2026?”
The draw is difficult for Germany’s number 1, but Novak Djokovic as a possible semi-final opponent is no longer at the level of his great times. And the conditions at the Bois de Boulogne suit Zverev, who was in the semi-finals three times in Paris and even in the final in 2024.
But there are still Sinners against whom Zverev has played the last eight (!) has lost all duels. However, he could only meet his opponent in the final. “I have to believe that I can beat him.”
In addition to Zverev, there are many other co-favorites for the French Open betting to win the tournament – and some of them are also in his half of the tournament. In addition to Djokovic, Arthur Fils (FRA), Jiri Lehecka (CZE) and Caspar Ruud (NOR), most recently the final at the Rome Masters, are represented here.
With Luciano Darderi and Lorenzo Musetti, Italy has two players on the French Open schedule in addition to Sinner, who are to be counted among the extended circle of favorites according to the French Open winner betting odds, such as Felix Auger-Aliassime (CAN) as number 4 and Ben Shelton (USA) in position 5 according to the seeding list.
Is Daniil Medvedev also one of the Paris favorites in 2026? In Rome, he was able to force Sinner into at least a third set – but the Russian generally feels less comfortable on clay.
Two youngsters also have high and therefore interesting Roland Garros odds for winning the tournament in the run-up: Rafael Jodar (ESP) and Joao Fonseca (BRA). Is the Bois de Boulogne its big hour?
