How's everyone doing? Hopefully you guys have all signed up for the SBR French Open contest. I just completed the men's portion of the tournament and am pretty much exhausted from that so I am not going to be doing much of a write-up for this French Open. I've already got two men's outrights locked in for the French Open but the women's draw is just so wide open that I have decided to pass on a women's outright all together.
Men's outright
Nadal +110
The one good thing about Djokovic beating down Nadal the last month is that Rafa's outright odd's for the French Open are plus money. Very nice to see. I remember in previous years his outrights were anywhere from -200 to -300 to win the French Open so getting him at plus money at this time sounds good to me. I was a bit to fast to lock in these odds at +110 because they did go to +122 before the draw came out so I wish I had waited just a bit but oh well. Rafa's draw has some decent player's in it but they aren't in their best form right now. Isner should be an easy first round opponent and then Giraldo,Davydenko,Verdasco and then probably Soderling. Yikes. Well Rafa is the king of clay so he will find a way to get to the finals. I'm really hoping that Djokovic get's knocked off before the final's but that probably won't happen. Take the plus odds here and take your chances with Nadal beating Djokovic in a best of five match.
Federer +1750
I put a small $50 play on this for shits and giggles. Getting the best tennis player ever at +1750 to win a tournament is worth a shot. If he did end up winning this tournament and I had passed up these odds I would want to jump off a bridge. He was +2100 or so last week and I wish I had grabbed him at that price but again I will live here. He has a really easy draw which is why I figured I would take a shot. Lopez, tipsarevic, Wawrinka, Ferrer(May be tough). Of course if he gets through all of these players he will most likely play Djokovic in the semi's and that match would definately be in Djokovic's favor but anything is possible. Watch Roger lose in the first round to make me look like a moron here haha.
Like I said before I am going to be passing on the women's outrights for this tournament since it's to much of a toss up.
Best of luck the next couple of weeks guys. Look forward to talking tennis with you all again.
