The French Open, or Roland-Garros, is the year’s second Grand Slam. It sees the best 128 players in the world descend on Paris every year to compete for the Coupe des Mousquetaires, also known as the Musketeers’ Cup. The tournament’s signature trait is that it is the only Grand Slam played on a clay surface.
Here at interwetten, you can bet on every serve, backhand, and tweener from the iconic courts of the French Open as the sport’s finest battle to tame the devilish clay of Roland-Garros.
Whether you think Carlos Alcaraz will win the French Open, Jannik Sinner will reach the final, or Cameron Norrie will win a set during a live game, you’ll find French Open men’s singles odds that cover every outcome right here on our Tennis betting page.
2026 French Open Betting and a Look Back at Last Year’s Final
At five hours and 29 minutes, the 2025 French Open final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner was the longest in history and the second-longest in the Open Era. Yet, at under two hours with Sinner two sets up, it looked like this final would be over quickly.
Alcaraz had other ideas. From the depths of despair, with defeat looking certain, he began one of the greatest fightbacks in not only tennis but sports history. The Spaniard drew on every ounce of talent to turn the tide and eventually take the contest to a fifth set as the sun over Paris began to make its descent for the day.
In the fading light, Alcaraz won the fifth-set tiebreak and the match overall, 4-6, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 7-6, to claim back-to-back French Open titles and the fifth Grand Slam of his career.
After such a titanic duel, both Alcaraz and Sinner open the market as joint favourites to win the 2026 French Open. The question is: what could separate them in France’s capital next year?
History suggests the French Open is a Grand Slam often defined by one dominant figure —and often, that figure has been Spanish. Rafa Nadal, known as the ‘King of Clay,’ won 14 French Open titles between 2005 and 2022, setting a standard few believed could ever be matched.
Now, it looks as though the baton has been passed to Alcaraz. He has picked up where Nadal left off, displaying a level of craft and composure on the crumbling, spinning surface that few of his peers have looked capable of reaching.
Of course, out to stop Alcaraz from making it three consecutive French Open titles will be Sinner. The Italian showed his resilience by bouncing back from that epic defeat in Paris to beat Alcaraz in the final of Wimbledon, proving there’s no lingering scar tissue from losing a Roland-Garros final that, for long stretches, looked his to win. As such, Sinner is sure to provide a formidable challenge to Alcaraz and should feature prominently in the 2026 French Open men's final betting odds.
Behind these two stars of the modern era sit Alexander Zverev and Novak Djokovic. For Zverev to go all the way next year, the German would need to achieve two milestones he has yet to manage: reaching a Grand Slam final and then finding the composure to win one.
As for Djokovic, you can never entirely write off a 24-time Grand Slam champion. Yet it’s also true that the tables have finally turned, with the Serb now in the unfamiliar position of being the one who must cause an upset against his younger competitors.
French Open Betting Odds
The French Open men’s betting odds at interwetten reveal how likely certain outcomes are in Paris.
For example, Carlos Alcaraz could be shown at 2.63 in the outright market, reflecting the expectation that he is one of the clear favourites to lift the trophy.
Further down, Jack Draper might be listed at 51.00, indicating that the Englishman is one of the outsiders to win the French Open.
To show how payouts mirror the odds and probabilities, a €10 stake on Alcaraz at 2.63 would return €26.30 if he claimed the title, while the same bet on Draper at 51.00 would return €510 if he produced a remarkable fortnight by going all the way.

French Open Betting Tips
The French Open demands more than raw shot-making. Clay slows the ball and produces higher bounces, forcing players to construct points patiently and slide into shots efficiently. Those who can reset rallies after heavy topspin exchanges often gain the upper hand.
Experience on this surface is also crucial. Players who have enjoyed deep runs in Paris — or lifted trophies at lead-up events like Monte Carlo or Rome — should be ones to watch due to the surface. In other words, a player who tops the Wimbledon men’s betting markets might not be the favorite on clay, because success on grass does not always translate to the demands of Roland-Garros.
Head-to-head records on clay tell their own story, revealing who handles specific matchups when the court demands stamina and tactical variety. Combine that with a look at five-set endurance and mental composure, and you’ll spot trends that go beyond form alone.
