<a href="http://www.pinnaclesports.com/?refer=xulticap">Pinnacle Sports</a> Opens Betting On 2006 French Open
WILLEMSTAD, CURACAO (May 24, 2006)—With the second leg of tennis’ Grand
Slam beginning Monday at Roland Garros, <a href="http://www.pinnaclesports.com/?refer=xulticap">Pinnacle Sports</a> today released
odds on who’ll win the Men’s and Women’s singles titles at the 2006 French
Open. Although the tournament draw hasn’t been announced yet,
<a href="http://www.pinnaclesports.com/?refer=xulticap">Pinnacle Sports</a> foresees history repeating itself on the clay courts,
listing 2005 French Open champions Rafael Nadal and Justine Henin-Hardenne
as the favorites to win again this year.
The largest sports betting site on the Internet, <a href="http://www.pinnaclesports.com/?refer=xulticap">Pinnacle Sports</a>
believes Rafael Nadal will continue his clay court dominance at Roland
Garros and lists the Spaniard as a 10/11 favorite to win his second
consecutive French Open title. Meanwhile, the world’s top ranked men’s
player and winner of seven of the past eleven Grand Slam singles titles,
Roger Federer is a slight 9/5 underdog to capture his first title at
Roland Garros. Outside of the top two players in the world,
PinnacleSports.com believes all other players are long shots to win on the
red clay of Paris. Argentinian David Nalbandian (23/1); Spaniards Nicolas
Almagro (31/1) and Tommy Robredo (48/1), Russian Nikolay Davydenko (57/1),
and Chilean Fernando Gonzalez (59/1) are considered the top contenders
despite long odds against them. The odds are also heavily against top
American players Andy Roddick (124/1), James Blake (225/1) and Tommy Haas
(225/1) winning the second Grand Slam of the year.
On the women’s side, PinnacleSports.com lists last year’s champion Justine
Henin-Hardenne as a 5/2 favorite to win her third French Open title. World
number two, Kim Clijsters and four-time 2006 WTA tournament winner Nadia
Petrova have the second best odds to win the tournament at 5/1. Winner of
this year’s Australian Open, Amelie Mauresmo currently stands at 7/1 odds
to overcome the pressure and capture her home country’s Grand Slam
tournament. After capturing her first singles title since her comeback,
PinnacleSports.com lists Martina Hingis as a solid contender at Roland
Garros at 10/1 odds. Other contenders on the clay courts include; Svetlana
Kuznetsova (11/1), Venus Williams (16/1), Maria Sharapova (16/1), Elena
Dementieva (35/1) and Dinara Safina (43/1). The women’s champion in 2000
and last year’s runner-up, Mary Pierce is a 49/1 underdog to win her
second French Open championship.
