Tennis Betting Information: Nadal Spice up Tennis . It’s the middle of May and for tennis fans that can mean only one thing: French Open betting time. The second Grand Slam of the season is just a week away as the sports betting world feverishly works to get the French Open odds set before tournament play kicks off on May 23rd. As always, Spaniard Rafa Nadal will be among the tennis betting favorites and with a big win over world #1 Roger Federer in a recent tune up event, he’s looking very tough to beat on the red surface this year.
The Madrid Master is arguably the biggest clay competition in the run up to the French Open betting and the most important tune up match before the tennis action at Roland Garos gets underway. This is where the serious contenders in the French Open odds comes to make a statement and see how their game measures up against the other “dirt rats” in the tennis betting world.
There should be little doubt that Nadal’s game matches up very well with the rest of players on the tennis tour. He dispatched with Federer in two sets 6-4, 7-6, winning the second in a tie break (7-5).
Nadal has always been the better player on clay between the world’s top two players and now that he’s healthy he looks to be right back where he was –in terms of his tennis game- when he rattled off four straight French Open betting titles.
As sports betting fans will recall the man that interrupted that string of victories in the French Open odds last year was none other than Federer. Federer won his first French Open betting title last year and achieved the first career Grand Slam in tennis betting since Andre Aggasi did it about a decade ago.
As the defending French Open betting champ many eyes will be on Federer to defend his title as Roland Garos but as evidenced by the convincing win in Madrid over the weekend, Nadal is the best player on clay right now and smart money says he takes back his French Open title this year.
