French Open Betting – Can Nadal Equal Borg’s Record?
Rafael Nadal the undisputed King of Clay is chasing a fourth consecutive French Open title, which would equal the record of the legendary Bjorn Borg on the famous terre battue (beaten earth) of Roland Garros. Nadal has again been in ominous form in his preparations for Paris winning the Monte Carlo Open in Monaco, and the Barcelona Open on home soil (both for the fourth consecutive years). The Spaniard continued his unstoppable form on clay winning the Masters Series in Hamburg his final preparatory event before Paris.
Understandably, Nadal is warm order on PinnacleSports.com’s Yes/No French Open winner’s market posted at 1.667*. However, no matter how persuasive Nadal’s form at Roland Garros might appear, don’t forget that Roger Federer was odds-on to record a fourth straight win at January’s Australian Open. For Federer, lightning struck in the form of Novak Djokovic, who simply blew him off the court in straight sets in the semi’s. The Serbian is priced 7.250* with PinnacleSports.com while Roger Federer, runner-up in the last two year’s in Paris is 5.490*. PinnacleSports.com’s head-to-head markets are priced to around 102%, giving tennis punters up to 60% better French Open betting odds.
Despite his consistency at the event, Federer - the World no.1 - is not nearly as comfortable on clay as on fast-court surfaces. Nadal beat Federer in Monaco and Hamburg, in the latter the Spaniard was pushed to the limit, before ultimately winning in three sets. That result again underlined Nadal’s never-say-die attitiude and his remarkable scrambling ability on clay, chasing down shots that no other player could ever reach.
Federer has mitigated his poor start to the 2008 campaign, declaring that he has been diagnosed as suffering (obliviously) from Glandular Fever since December 2007. If taken at face value, the news casts a totally different light on his uncharacteristically poor early-season form. However, a cynic might say that this was an excuse for his loss of form, lack of fitness, poor state of mind, or all three.
The man who stepped into Federer’s shoes in Australia, Novak Djokovic, must now come into the reckoning for the French Open, being equally at home on clay. Anyone who witnessed the scenes in Melbourne as he landed his, and Serbia’s, first Grand Slam title, will have instinctively felt that they were witnessing a break-through moment, which will surely lead to further success at the highest level.
