Put Your Money On Nadal, A Betting Guide To The French Open Semi-Finals

Rafael Nadal’s dominance of the clay courts of the French Open has been well-documented with the Spaniard capturing 12 titles, including the previous four. Nadal finds himself in the semi-final again this year, this time facing Diego Schwartzman with Novak Djokovic and Stefanos Tsitsipas on the other side of the bracket. Naturally, you can’t get great odds for Nadal straight up to win the whole thing but there are a few interesting bets, and here is a parlay that I like.

Rafael Nadal to win the french open +110 Parlayed with Nadal not to drop a set to Schwartzman +120 making +230

Nadal hasn’t dropped a set so far this tournament, and I don’t see a reason that he would stop now. Nadal is not the type of guy who lets his foot off the guess. His relentless attitude and play style is what led him to compete in wars with the GOAT Roger Federer, who is probably a better pure tennis player but he just could not handle Nadal’s relentlessness at times. The biggest obstacle to this bet is Djokovic who is an amazing player in his own right but Nadal has beaten him twice in the two French Open finals that they have met in.  With +230 odds, I’m not saying it’s a lock, but Nadal has been as close to a guarantee as you can get on the clay courts.
