Top Tennis Betting Picks of the Week – May 22nd Edition
Rafael Nadal already has 10 of the first 121 trophies that have been issued to the winner of this event, originally known as the French Open but now called Roland-Garros. He has 16 total Grand Slam titles, most recently the U.S. Open back in September. In the 2018 Australian Open, he made it to the quarterfinals. Then, he took some time off to prepare for the clay court season, which is his best time. He won 14 matches in a row to start the clay season, not losing until the third round of the Madrid Masters, when Dominic Thiem stopped him in straight sets. He did right the ship in Rome, taking the title, and his other big title wins in 2018 came at the Monte-Carlo Masters and ATP Barcelona. At Roland-Garros last year, he did not lose a single set en route to a title, dropping seven games to Thiem and six games in the final against Stan Wawrinka. Alexander Zverev is the youngest player ranked in the top 20 of the ATP standings. The fact that he made it to the finals in Rome makes him another favorite here, although a win at a major would represent a new step for him. He has never made it past the fourth round of any Grand Slam, and that was Wimbledon. In Paris, his deepest penetration has been into the third round. In 2017, Fernando Velasco delivered an upset win over Zverev in the opening round. However, he has won two titles of his own on clay, rolling to a win at the Madrid Masters without even losing a set. He has a significant amount of improvement over 2017, but winning a Grand Slam is a feat that he may not yet have the composure to pull off.Back in pole position…😉 After winning Rome, @RafaelNadal is No.1 again in the @ATPWorldTour rankings! pic.twitter.com/gMWh3tA9Fu
