There are just four players that are left on the men’s side of the French Open draw, and here at Bankroll Sports, we are analyzing the four players that are left standing and see how they are going to fare on the 2012 French Open betting lines.

2012 Men’s French Open Predictions & Info
2012 French Open Dates: Sunday, May 27th – Sunday, June 10th, 2012

With a record now of 50-1, it is impossible to think that there is any way we could bet against Rafael Nadal (Favorite To Win French Open: 1 to 2.80 at 5Dimes Sportsbook). Nadal hasn’t lost a set here at Roland Garros this year, and that’s not a shock for a man that has won this title six times and is just two matches away from breaking Bjorn Borg’s record for the most French Open titles in the Open Era. The Spaniard also has had the draw open up for him, and he is a -1150 favorite on the French Open odds in his semifinal match. It is clear that this is still the King of the Clay Courts, and with Andy Murray out of the way, there really is just one match that should be left for Nadal to play of any note before he claims that seventh title.

The man that is going to be trying his best to get past Nadal is another fellow Spaniard David Ferrer (Odds To Win French Open: 19 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook). Ferrer knows that he is up against it in this one, but he was up against it versus Murray as well. It only took four sets for Ferrer to dispose of the Brit, and now, he is in the semifinals of a Grand Slam event for just the second time in his career. Of course, this is probably the end of the road for Ferrer, knowing that he is going to be a tremendous underdog against Nadal, and it is difficult for him to overcome that outrageous 50-1 record that Nadal has here at Roland Garros.

2000 – Gustavo Kuerten

On the other end of the bracket sits Roger Federer (2012 Men’s French Open Tennis Odds: 10.17 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook). At the outset of this tournament, Federer was just 11 to 1, so as you can see, nothing really has changed in spite of the fact that he has made it into the semifinals of the French Open. The problem for Federer is that he has had a very tough road to get to this point. The master of the Grand Slam events needed five sets to get past Juan Martin Del Potro, and now he has to deal with the best player in the world right now and then the man known as the King of the Clay Courts. Federer is still a fantastic player, but at this point in his career, he is clearly in that second tier of players. He is going to need to be at his best to beat Djokovic for the second straight year in the French Open semifinals, and then likely Nadal, a man that he has never beaten in the French Open.

And that brings up to the No. 1 ranked player in the world, Novak Djokovic (2012 Men’s French Open Tennis Betting Lines: 4.24 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook). Djokovic has won three straight Grand Slam titles. He would be one of the few to ever have a career Grand Slam, but it would be even more impressive if he were to end up with all four of the Grand Slam titles at the same time. We were saying this about Federer for quite some time. His career wasn’t going to be validated until he won here at Roland Garros. Now, Djokovic is in the same boat. Granted, he has quite some time to get this last leg of the Grand Slam, but it would be awesome to see him get the job done here. Getting past Federer on the clay courts would be part of career validation, but beating Nadal in a French Open finale, who has never been beaten in a French Open final, who ensure that the Serb is known as the best of his generation.

Our US Open predictions and free picks for the men’s bracket continue this week, as the US Open betting action gets set to get underway next week in Flushing, NY!

2011 US Open Odds, Picks & Info
2011 US Open Dates: Monday, August 29 – Sunday, September 11
2011 US Open Location: USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, Flushing Meadows, Queens, New York
2011 US Open Favorite: Novak Djokovic (+170)
Defending US Open Ladies Champion: Rafael Nadal
2011 US Open TV Coverage – Network: Tennis Network, NBC

With just two losses to his credit for the entire year, Novak Djokovic (Current US Open Odds: 1.70 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook) is clear the man to watch out for over the course of the next two weeks. Djokovic has played in this final twice in his career, but he has never taken home the coveted trophy. This has been a banner year for the Serb, who has captured the world’s No. 1 ranking and has already won a pair of majors (Australian Open and Wimbledon). Often times he and the fourth favorite, Andy Murray end up taking a back seat here in Flushing, and there is a decent chance that the exact same thing could happen this time around.

And why is that? Because the defending champion of this event, Rafael Nadal (US Open Lines: 4.45 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook) isn’t going to want to get off of his throne. Rafa already has a Grand Slam title as well this year to his mantle, taking care of the French Open crown once again on the clay courts. However, hard surfaces have always given the Spaniard trouble, probably due to the fact that he doesn’t have the biggest serve in the world and that his best asset is his return game. Still, Nadal won’t go down without a fight in this one, and he is going to be the man of the hour to watch through the full fortnight, knowing that no one should touch him until at least the quarters at best.

List Of Past Ladies US Open Champions (Since 2000)
2010 US Open Winner: Rafael Nadal
2009 US Open Winner: Juan Martin Del Potro
2008 US Open Winner: Roger Federer
2007 US Open Winner: Roger Federer
2006 US Open Winner: Roger Federer
2005 US Open Winner: Roger Federer

2003 US Open Winner: Andy Roddick
2002 US Open Winner: Pete Sampras
2001 US Open Winner: Leyton Hewitt
2000 US Open Winner: Marat Safin

As always though, we can’t forget about the five-time champ of this event, Roger Federer (Odds to Win the US Open: 6.15 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook). It’s amazing to think that Federer hasn’t won a major this year, and it’s also odd to think that he is the fourth choice of the tennis oddsmakers this year at the tournament that he has historically dominated. With six finals appearances and five wins, no one since the great Pete Sampras has played like this at this tournament. Whether Federer has anything left in the tank or not is a totally different question.

Two legs of the Grand Slam in tennis are said and done, and here at Bankroll Sports, we’re looking at the Wimbledon odds and making our free Wimbledon picks for the big time tournament at the All-England Club!

2011 Wimbledon Odds, Picks & Info
2011 Wimbledon Dates: Monday, June 20 – Sunday, July 3
2011 Wimbledon Location: All England Club, London, England
2011 Wimbledon Favorite: Roger Federer (+265)
Defending Wimbledon Champion: Rafael Nadal
2011 Wimbledon TV Coverage – Network: Tennis Network, NBC

Unless you are going to go off of the board, there are really only a handful of different tennis players that realistically have a chance of winning Wimbledon betting action this year. After all, just look back at the last eight Wimbledon champions… You’ll only see two names there.

The first is that of Roger Federer (Current Wimbledon Odds: 2.65 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook). Federer was a finalist at the French Open and pushed the champ to four sets before succumbing. What can we say about this man’s career? There’s pretty much nothing that he hasn’t accomplished in his time on the court. The Swiss master already has 16 career Grand Slam title under his belt, including six here at the All-England Club. Federer is going to most likely come out of the No. 3 hole in this tournament, but that isn’t going to stop him from making one heck of a charge towards the top of the charts when push comes to shove.

The only other man to win a Wimbledon during the reign of Federer here in Jolly Ol’ England is Rafael Nadal (Wimbledon Lines: 2.75 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook). Rafa won the second Grand Slam event this year at the French Open, which is nothing new considering the fact that he has only lost one match in seven years playing at Roland Garros. Save for 2009 when he was pushed to five epic sets by Federer in the finale, Nadal has been amazing here on these courts in England. Grass isn’t nearly his best surface, as demonstrated by the fact that he has 10 Grand Slam titles and six are on clay courts, but there clearly won’t be a match until at least the semifinals, and likely until the finals, if at all, in which the Spaniard is going to be an underdog.

List Of Past Wimbledon Champions (Since 2000)
2010 Wimbledon Winner: Rafael Nadal
2009 Wimbledon Winner: Roger Federer
2008 Wimbledon Winner: Rafael Nadal
2007 Wimbledon Winner: Roger Federer
2006 Wimbledon Winner: Roger Federer
2005 Wimbledon Winner: Roger Federer
2004 Wimbledon Winner: Roger Federer
2003 Wimbledon Winner: Roger Federer
2002 Wimbledon Winner: Lleyton Hewitt
2001 Wimbledon Winner: Goran Ivanisevic
2000 Wimbledon Winner: Pete Sampras

All eyes are going to be on Novak Djokovic (Odds to Win the Wimbledon: 3.65 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook) as well in this tournament. Djokovic didn’t lose a match this year until the semifinals of the French Open again Federer, and that includes sweeping through the Australian Open for his second career Grand Slam victory. Djokovic is better served playing on hard courts, but considering how strong he has been this year on every surface that he has faced, we don’t know if we would want to bet against this man on the moon right now. Of the three biggest male players in tennis right now, this would probably be the one with the best Wimbledon odds.

And then there is Andy Murray (Current Wimbledon Odds: 6.85 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook)… We really feel bad for this Brit, because he seemingly always ends up as a semifinalist in these events, only to end up losing to either Nadal or Federer. Still, the UK hasn’t tasted glory of any kind in Wimbledon betting action since Jo Durie and Jeremy Bates won the mixed doubles tournament in 1987. There hasn’t been a single winner since Virginia Wade on the ladies’ side in 1977, and a man hasn’t won this event in the Open Era, dating back to 1968.
