Iga Swiatek is the heavy favorite to win the women’s title. According to the BetMGM Sportsbook, she is listed as a -155 moneyline favorite, aiming for her fourth French Open trophy and third consecutive title. There’s a significant gap to the next contenders: two-time Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka at +500, 2023 U.S. Open champ Coco Gauff at +950, and 2022 Wimbledon champ Elena Rybakina at +1100. Danielle Collins is also notable at +1800.
Betting Odds Men
Carlos Alcaraz is narrowly the top choice at +275, despite recent issues with his right forearm. Defending champion Novak Djokovic follows closely at +300, with Australian Open winner Jannik Sinner at +400. Sinner missed the Italian Open due to an injury, while Djokovic has had limited play this season. Rafael Nadal, the 14-time French Open champion who turns 38 during the tournament, is seventh at +2000, a change from his previous +900 listing before Thursday’s draw placed him against No. 4 seed Alexander Zverev in the first round.
