The best bets for day one of the French Open
Published:
Day One of the French Open starts on Sunday and Roland Garros will play host to a number of enticing encounters.
Here are the best bets to go for as the action unfolds:
The Japanese-born player flourishes on clay and should no problem up against Simone Bolelli.
Three of his last five victories on this type of court have seen Nishikori win in straight sets, with the other two against higher quality opposition such as Nick Kyrgios and Viktor Troiki.
The controversial Australian has never made it beyond the quarter final of a Grand Slam and exited the French Open in the first round in 2014.
Furthermore, he was dumped out of the US Open at this stage in 2013 and 2015, meaning he is susceptible to an upset.
He has already claimed that his main focus for this year is the Olympics and he will need to be careful not to overlook his upcoming opponent.
Cecchinato took a game off world number ten Milos Raonic at the Italian Open, proving he can cause an upset on clay.
The 22-year-old Spaniard made a great impression at Roland Garros as she made her way all the way through to the quarter final.
She made her way to the last eight on the back of being able to beat her opponents in straight sets.
Indeed, three of her four victories came in such a manner and she should have too much for Anna Karolina Schmiedlova.
Looking at the tournament as a whole, Ladbrokes have some enhanced prices on offer that would be sensible investments.
