Good Days For Tennis And Online Sports Betting As French Open Kicks Off

French Open is just around the corner, as well as the online sports betting for tennis. Roger Federer, world's former number one, who hasn't had a great year, is looking to bag another Grand Slam title. Some tennis fans and loyal online tennis sports betting fans, is giving Federer a small chance, while some just don't think he can live-up with this year's clay challenge. I have been reading some articles and blogs lately on Roger's chance for this year's French Open, and here some things I've gathered for the Swiss tennis superstar:

Aside from Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, there aren't too much major contenders in this year's tournament, which can be quite easy for online betting sports fans to sort their wages out. For the past months, people have been talking about Andy Roddick and Andy Murray, that they are not in their best shape to compete with Federer. Clay court is Juan Martin Del Potro's worst surface, because of the playing court's slow speed and longer points, which DelPo of course, will not be able to handle because of his nagging wrist injury problem. Robin Soderling's best clay run was in 2009, but in the final round of that tournament, Soderling could not take a set. Fernando Verdasco on the other hand, hasn't been ablt to cope with Roger's game for quite some time. Other like Mikhail Youzhny, Gael Monfils, and Nikolay Davydenko don't stand big chances against Federer either.

Roger Federer is not getting any younger, and his game is a half-step slower nowadays. Longer rallies on clay surface will tire him up, and with nagging injuries, the weaknesses of his game will surely show up. If he really wants to get this one, he has to try harder and finish rallies a bit quicker.

Roger knows how and what it is like to win the French Open. He beat Robin Soderling in the finals and won the cup in 2009. Hopefully, that experience should give him the confidence to do it again this year.

Rafael Nadal, the world number one, has had a good campaign this year. With only five losses this year, he's looking to add the tenth Grand Slam title in his collection of nine. French Open is not just another chance of Grand Slam for Nadal, it is his favorite tournament in the Grand Slam series, and he's already won five times. He's even called the King Of Clay, and beaten Federer in the finals twice.

Going undefeated for his past 30 matches, Djokovic is having a good year this year, and certainly grabbing some attention in online betting sites. With six titles under his name, Djokovic is looking to grab his third Grand Slam title. Djokovic will bring some good competition in this tournament. As a matter of fact, he once beat Nadal for three sets on clay. Nadal and Djokovic certainly pose the biggest threats for Federer's campaign in French Open this year.

With all these things considered, my conclusion is that, Federer is capable of beating anyone in this tournament, except Rafa and Nole. And I think it is pretty much sure for Roger to get into the semis, where Nadal will beat him.
Nadal and Djokovic will resume their rivalry in the finals of this year's French Open. They had an unfinished business in the final Sunday of Italian Open. Rafael was the first seed and Djokovic had the second. Overcame a very tough first set against French tennis star Richard Gasquet, Nadal won five times of the last six years on Saturday, rolling for a 7-5, 6-1 semifinal win. Djokovic was pushed to his limits as he extend his unbeaten winning streak for 38 matches, beating the fourth-ranked Andy Murray for a 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 (2) victory.
