Can You Predict the Podium? Paris 2024 Olympic Tennis Betting
Olympic Tennis Betting Qualification
Each national federation sets its own participation requirements for the Billie Jean King Cup and the Davis Cup, as well as policies for exemptions.
The WTA and ATP rankings as of June 10 were used to determine entry.
Each country has a limit of four singles competitors per gender and up to two doubles teams per event, with each country limited to six players per gender total.
The top 24 men’s and women’s doubles teams were picked due to a combined singles or doubles ranking.
Players ranked in the top 10 for doubles were eligible to receive direct entry so long as their partner was ranked in the Top 300.
The nations of Belarus and Russia are not allowed to participate in these Summer Games, but some Individual Neutral Athletes will take part under the IOC flag.
In tennis, the most notable name is Russian Daniil Medvedev, the one-time U.S. Open champion.
^Who’s not at the Olympics?
Some notable absences from Olympic tennis include Aryna Sabalenka, the two-time Australian open champion.
She dealt with illness during the French Open and withdrew from Wimbledon due to a shoulder injury.
Ons Jabeur of Tunisia opted out because of the difficulties of changing back from grass to clay before the upcoming hard court season.
Emma Raducanu of Great Britain also turned down the opportunity to compete, instead opting to prepare for the U.S. Open.
^Surprises happen at the Olympics
The 2012 Summer Games featured two terrific matchups for the gold medal in singles: Andy Murray vs Roger Federer and Serena Williams for Maria Sharapova.
Murray and Rafael Nadal have three gold medals between them in men’s singles.
However, such names as Monica Puig and Nicolas Massu have won golds in singles, while Novak Djokovic and Federer are still looking for their first one.
^Olympic Tennis Betting Men’s
Carlos Alcaraz Olympic Line +172
Alcaraz isn’t ranked #1 in the world (that would be Jannik Sinner), but he has won the last two Grand Slams (the French Open and Wimbledon).
Alcaraz beat Sinner and Alexander Zverev to win at Roland Garros and then swept Djokovic in three sets in the Wimbledon final.
At the French Open and Wimbledon this year, he dropped a combined 10 sets and needed seven tiebreakers (winning six) to get through.
He has won four of the last seven Grand Slam events that he has entered – and he’s just 21 years old. So that ceiling is sky-high.
Jannik Sinner Olympic Line +270
Sinner won 25 of 26 matches to start 2024 and took the Australian Open title.
When Djokovic withdrew from the French Open, Sinner took over the top ranking. Against Alcaraz, though, he has lost both of his matches so far, so he’s not the top betting choice.
Novak Djokovic Olympic Line +310
Djokovic has gone 0-3 in the first three Grand Slams of 2024 for just the second time in the last 14 years.
He hasn’t prevailed against a top-ten player on clay since the 2023 French Open.
He had a meniscus tear a month ago and then wore himself down progressing through the Wimbledon bracket. On the other hand, though, he is the all-time leader in Slam titles.
He’s the third betting choice, despite having one good knee and entering as a 37-year-old.
Alexander Zverev Olympic Line +550
Zverev has won 21 of his last 24 matches at Roland Garros, if you take away his injury retirements.
He got to the finals and was on the verge of winning his first Slam this year before Alcaraz mounted that comeback and won in five sets.
He did win a gold medal in Tokyo three years ago, stopping Djokovic.
Casper Ruud Olympic Line +1275
Ruud has a great game for clay thanks to that topspin that he naturally brings to his game.
He has advanced to the semifinals of the last three French Opens and made the finals twice.
Over the last year, he has a 21-5 record on clay, including a 6-2 mark against top-20 competition.
Stefanos Tsitsipas Olympic Line +2000
Tsitsipas has had a difficult two years, but the clay has been kinder to him than other surfaces.
He got to the French Open semifinals in 2020 and the finals in 2021 – as well as the quarterfinals in 2023 and 2024.
If he’s going to make a deep run, it will likely be on the clay – and clay is what we have here.
Daniil Medvedev Olympic Line +2500
Medvedev has gotten to the finals of five lf the last Grand Slams on hard courts.
He has never gotten to the last four at the French Open, but he has gotten to the last 16 in 14 of his last 15 Grand Slams.
Jan-Lennard Struff Olympic Line +15000
If you want a real long shot, take a look at Struff.
He’s 34 years old, and he’s never won over 54% of his matches on tour in any year. In 2024, though, he is 23-15 (60.5) including an 11-4 (73.3%) record on clay.
Since last May, he has gotten to three different finals. Could he mount an Olympic run with several of the top players focusing on the U.S. Open?
Moez Echargui
One more dark horse is Echargui, who has never played a top-50 opponent and has never been ranked above #271. He won the 2023 African Games, though, which earned him an Olympic berth.
He played for Tunisia’s Davis Cup team and won the Co-Player of the Year award in the Mountain West Conference while in college at the University of Nevada.
^Olympic Tennis Betting Women’s
Iga Świątek Olympic Line -197
Świątek dominates the women’s game on the clay right now. She has won three French Open titles in a row, and four of the last five.
In the last six WTA 1000 events she’s entered on clay, she has won four and gotten to the finals of another.
At the 2024 French Open, she only played a total of 15 sets, losing just one. Among the other 14, she won 10 by a margin of 6-2 or even bigger.
She has elite defense and footwork on clay.
Coco Gauff Olympic Line +480
Gauff is the women’s #2 singles player, but given the surface, she’s kind of a long shot.
She does have a 15-0 record at Roland Garros against everyone besides Swiatek over the last three years, and silver or bronze wouldn’t be a bad outcome either.
Barbora Krejčíková Olympic Line +3200
Krejčíková is the other woman to win a singles title at the French Open in the last five years, taking the trophy in 2021.
She beat Jasmine Paolini in the Wimbledon finals, has a gold medal from the 2020 Summer Games in women’s doubles, and has her big swing rocking right now.
Elena Rybakina Olympic Line +880
Rybakina has beaten Iga Swiatek twice on clay.
In Swiatek’s other 31 most recent matches on clay, Swiatek has a perfect 31-0 record. Rybakina has a big game, and she has beaten Swiatek on this surface.
However, she has been upset by lower-ranked players in three straight tournaments.
Want a dark horse? Let’s look at Danielle Collins. Yes, she’s ranked #9, but she’s retiring at the end of the season – at least for now.
She has gotten to three tournament finals since announcing that she was about to hang up the racket, winning two of those.
In 2024, she has a 16-4 record on clay, and none of the four players who beat her are in this bracket.
