The second Grand Slam of the season gets underway in Paris with Roland Garros certain to provide the idyllic backdrop to some sensational tennis. Here are our top 2019 French Open betting tips.

Tournament History

The French Open has been an event on the tennis calendar for 128 years and has been held at Roland Garros since 1928. The event has always been held in Paris and has always been played on clay – making it the culmination of the European Clay Court season that runs from early April to early June. The 2019 edition of the tournament will see the French Open prize pot inflate, with over 42 million euros to be distributed to the players, making it one of the most lucrative tennis tournaments in both the male and female game.

Format 

The French Open adopts the same format as Wimbledon, the Australian Open and the US Open. Once the qualifying rounds are completed, 128 players make up both the male and female main draws – with matches taking place over a 2 week period.

Venue

The French Open has been played at the courts at Roland Garros since 1928 and the event has always been staged in Paris. Racing Club de France and Tennis Club de Paris were some of the original hosts of the French Open prior to the move. Despite numerous relocation attempts from various parties, the event looks to be in a stable position in the sporting calendar and Roland Garros looks to be the ideal host location currently.
