Madrid Open Betting Odds – Top Men’s Contenders
The top place in the ATP rankings is up for grabs in Rome. Novak Djokovic is back after missing a couple of weeks, and he will need to go all the way in order to hold on to the top of the rankings. World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz did not participate last year in Rome, so every point that he wins will add up in his count. There is only 5 points difference between the two, which makes this tournament even more exciting. Unfortunately, the 10-time Rome champion Rafael Nadal withdrew from the tournament since he is still recovering from injury. In his absence, here are the top favorites to win the tournament:
Carlos Alcaraz 29/20 (2.45)
Alcaraz is the top favorite to win the tournament. The 20-year-old has won 4 titles so far in 2023 including last week in Madrid. He is playing excellently, winning 19 of 20 matches on clay so far in the season, and if he keeps that form, he may take over the No. 1 spot in the ATP rankings at the end of the tournament in Rome.
Novak Djokovic 11/4 (3.75)
The World No. 1 is back on the tour after missing the tournament in Spain. Being 35, the Serbian has only one thing on his mind, and that is winning. The six-time Rome champion is focusing on Roland Garros but of course, he will give his best to defend the title from last year.
Jannik Sinner 7/1 (7.00)
Sinner is the biggest hope of the home crowd to go deep in this tournament. The 21-year-old is having an excellent season winning the tournament in Montpellier and also playing in the finals in Rotterdam and Indian Wells.
Holger Rune 15/1 (15.00)
Rune is one of the youngsters who is taking over the big stage in the world of tennis. He won the tournament in Munich on clay recently and had time to rest after a third-round exit in Madrid.
Stefanos Tsitsipas 18/1 (18.00)
The World No. 5 has yet to win a title in 2023 which is another motive for him to go strong in Rome. Tsitsipas made it to the final last year and is hoping to go one step forward this time around.
Mutua Madrid Open Odds – Top Women’s Contenders
The top players from the women’s tour will be in Rome. Even though the top of the WTA rankings will not be on the table, from what we saw in the previous weeks on the WTA tour, we can expect some exciting tennis in Rome as well. On that note, here are the top favorites to win>
Iga Swiatek 1/1 (2.00)
Swiatek won the last two tournaments in Rome and she is very confident she can make a three-peat. She is coming off a loss in the Madrid final which is her only loss on clay this season. The World No. 1 is playing in great form and is by far the biggest favorite to win the tournament.
Aryna Sabalenka 8/1 (8.00)
Sabalenka just won the title in Madrid and she is the only one who can challenge Swiatek. The Belarusian player has also lost only once on clay this season and already has won 3 titles.
Barbora Krejcikova 16/1 (16.00)
Krejcikova has fallen off the top 10 in the rankings. Still, she has proven she can beat anybody on the tour as she defeated Swiatek in Dubai final earlier this year. This will be her only second appearance in Rome after she reached the round of 16 stage in 2021.
Jessica Pegula 16/1 (16.00)
Pegula is a huge step behind the top favorites but we all know that anything is possible in women’s tennis. The American has played well in the past tournaments on clay and would be a tough opponent to any player.
Coco Gauff 20/1 (20.00)
The 18-year-old is on the rise and, the way she plays, Gauff can take over any tournament. Currently, she is ranked at No. 5 and it is just a matter of time before she enters the top 3 in the rankings.
