French Open 2017
Rafael Nadal is the early favourite to dethrone champion Novak Djokovic at the 2017 French Open.
Nadal and Djokovic are fancied, with Dominic Thiem currently the third favourite, while world No. 1 Andy Murray is an outsider in fourth.
It's a similar French Open 2017 story in the WTA event, where last year's winner Garbine Muguruza, who had an injury scare at the Italian Open, is second favourite behind Simona Halep. Meanwhile, newly crowned Italian Open champion Elina Svitolina is third in the betting.
Rob Trites of OddsShark identified Nadal and Halep as favourites a week ago. For a full list of the latest odds for the men's event, go to Oddschecker.
Before a preview, here are the schedule and viewing details:
Dates: May 28-June 11
TV Info: ITV 1 and 2 (UK), NBC (U.S.)
Live Stream: ITV Player, NBC Sports app, Tennis Channel
In fact, Halep had French Open won 10 in a row on clay after beating Kiki Bertens in straight sets to reach the Italian Open final, per the Press Association (h/t MailOnline). She is the class of her event headed into this tournament, but her defeat to Svitolina in the final in Rome showed she can be vulnerable.
Meanwhile, Muguruza's status will be questioned after a neck injury forced her out of the Italian Open semi-final, per Alan Baldwin of Reuters (h/t MailOnline).
Competition will be fierce at Roland Garros, with both fields loaded with outstanding players. The odds favour two who have been dominant on clay recently, but it's easy to believe last year's champions—Djokovic and Muguruza—will have plenty to say about the final outcome.
