Rafael Nadal is looking for a fifth successive Title on the Parisian clay and he will be very difficult to beat despite his loss to Roger Federer in Madrid last weekend. Stan James are refunding losing stakes placed prior to the start of the tournament if Andy Murray or Serena Williams win their respective singles' events.
The Scot has yet to land a Grand Slam. Could the Scot break his Grand Slam hoodoo at the French Open. Andy Murray, the Scot is 20/1 with Stan James for an unexpected first major but, with Nadal in the same half of the draw, the most likely stage of elimination for the world number three is the semi-final stage at 7/4. With a tough opener in the first round Murray is 9/2 for a round one exit..

Despite his mammoth clay court winning streak coming to an end last week Rafa Nadal remains the man to beat at the French Open, according to bookie Paddy Power. Whilst the Spaniard is just 1/3 for his fifth French Open, any one from the rest of the field is 9/4 to win whilst Nadal is 11/4 with Paddy Power not to make the final.
Individually, Roger Federer is second favourite at 7/2 having been as big as 10/1 before his Madrid Masters win, with Djokovic third favourite at 7/1.

The most likely final, for the fourth year running, is another Nadal-Federer match-up at 15/8 but having never lost on the courts of Roland Garros the question might be how many consecutive French Opens can Nadal win? Already on four consecutive titles Nadal is 10/3 to go one further than Bjorn Borg with five, 8/1 to match Ken Rosewall's seven in a row from the “French Pro” era of the 1960s and 11/1 for eight in a row. Nadal is 7/2 not to drop any sets in this year's tournament.
1/3 Nadal 9/2 Federer 7/1 Djokovic 20/1 Murray 40/1 Del Potro 40/1 Verdasco 50/1 Davydenko 100/1 Robredo 100/1 Gonzalez 100/1 Tsonga 125/1 Bar
