Rafael Nadal v Robin Soderling Mens Singles Final Odds: French Open Tennis Latest

Rafael Nadal is a massive odds on favourite to claim his fifth French Open title this Sunday at Roland Garros against Swede, Robin Soderling. To do so however, he must overcome any psychological barriers incurred when losing to Soderling in the fourth round last year, which, as is well known, was Nadal’s only ever defeat in the French Open. Nadal is 2/9 odds on to win the match with Bet365 while Soderling is a very tempting 10/3 to give Nadal a second beating.

After victory over Nadal last year, Soderling went on to reach the final, where he lost to world number one, Roger Federer. He did avenge that defeat of course by putting Federer out of the tournament this year in four sets in the quarter final and looks to have his mindset spot on as he tries to go one better in the final this time around.

As far as head to heads are concerned between the two finalists, it is Nadal who leads 3-2 in the five matches played between them. However it is Soderling who has won the last two matches, including the win at Roland Garros last year which he followed up by beating an under par Nadal in the ATP World Tour Finals last November.

French Open Tennis Final Odds Comparison

Nadal comes into the final having won his last three tournaments on clay and without having dropped a set in the six matches he has played in the tournament this year - these are daunting facts to say the least. He has looked simply unbeatable, but Soderling, is not a man to be deterred, he is a very determined player with a power game linked to accuracy, if these two facets come off in the final, then he could seriously trouble the world number 2, just like he did in 2009. The following set betting odds provided by Bet365 Bookmakers for a Soderling win make very interesting reading for those prepared to back him:

Soderling to win 3-2 – 9/1
Soderling to win 3-1 – 9/1
Soderling to win 3-0 – 12/1

Most punters will undoubtedly stick with Nadal to win the match, giving him his seventh Tennis Grand Slam, thus drawing him level with the likes of John McEnroe in the all time lists.

The favourite bet so far report Bookmakers is for a Nadal straight sets victory which carries odds of 6/5 also with Bet 365
