Don’t miss our top tennis pick for this Sunday’s action in Paris with Stan Wawrinka and Rafael Nadal fighting for the French Open title. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Wawrinka vs. Nadal
Despite his lack of success in recent months, Stan Wawrinka is once again the final of a Grand Slam event. Known as a big match player, Wawrinka holds a phenomenal 63 – 10 record in majors since 2014. Adding to this, Stan won all his previous three finals on Grand Slams. Taking a look now at Wawrinka’s campaign in Roland Garros, the 2015 champion reaches this stage of the competition after an incredible five-set win over Andy Murray.
For the 5th time in his career, Rafael Nadal reaches the French Open final without dropping a single set. Playing in Paris brings great memories to Nadal with an outstanding 97.50% winning record throughout his career in Roland Garros. Despite his recent defeat against Dominic Thiem at the Internazionali BNL D’Italia, Nadal proved too strong for the Austrian in the semi-finals.
Although we agree with Nadal’s favouritism, it’s impossible to find any value on his current price at 1/5 at Coral. Wawrinka is always a dangerous opponent on Grand Slam events with a perfect record in decisive matches. For that reason, there is clear value on Stan’s betting odds at 9/2 with Bet365. Besides the value on Wawrinka’s moneyline, his +2.5 Set Handicap at 79/100 with Pinnacle is also a great betting approach for this contest.
