French Domination
This has been an event that Frenchmen have dominated, winning three of the past five years. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will have the fans in his corner and he should be the favorite in Open 13 tennis odds.
Other Contenders
Also in contention this week for the win should be Mardy Fish, Janko Tipsarevic, Juan Martin Del Potro and defending champion Robin Soderling. Last year Soderling defeated Marin Cilic in the final. He may have a more difficult road to the final this time around. Two years ago it was Michael Llodra getting the win while Tsonga won it three years ago.
If you look at the world tennis rankings then it should be Tsonga who is a solid favorite. He is ranked 6th in the world and he will have the advantage of playing at home. Mardy Fish should be the second choice as he is ranked 8th in the world. Janko Tipsarevic is just a spot behind Fish in the rankings and Del Potro is right there as well. This should be a competitive tournament with four Top 10 players in the field.
When you bet on tennis this week there will be some great matchups on the board at the online sportsbook. With so many good players in the field and no dominant ones like Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer it should be competitive. Tennis betting matchups are always more interesting to bet when the field is evenly matched. In the case of the Open 13 that will definitely be the case.
Tennis Picks
We like Tsonga to dominate this tournament on his home soil. He is a former winner of this event and although it is a good field, we like Tsonga to ultimately win the event.
