Even though it was postponed for a couple of months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 French Open is going to happen. It’s going to be the third and the final Grand Slam tournament of the year, with the Australian Open and US Open already done, and 2020 Wimbledon ending up canceled for the first time since WWII.

  • Where: Roland Garros Stadium in Paris, France
  • When: 21 Sep – 11 Oct
  • WTA Points: 2000 Pts for the Winner

With Novak Djokovic in an excellent form and Rafael Nadal being the king of clay, the Men’s Singles Tournament is going to be super-exciting. Still, tennis fans should not let the Women’s Singles fly under the radar. As there are so many fantastic players competing in WTA tennis, anything can happen in this tournament, which makes it a fantastic choice for tennis futures betting.

That said, we’re now going to give you some suggestions for 2020 French Open Ladies Singles Futures, providing our reasoning for that.

An interesting thing about the French Open is that this is the only Grand Slam that’s played on clay. Some players love this surface, others hate it. According to the WTA Clay Court Power Rankings, Simona Halep is the best female tennis player for this surface.

She’s also ranked very high in the overall WTA Ranking, currently being in the second place behind Ashleigh Barty. Speaking of the current WTA #1, Barty was the one who won the Ladies Singles Tournament at the French Open last year.

The trouble for both of these players is that they haven’t played much this year. In fact, both of them have decided to opt out of the US Open, as well as stay away from the WTA Cincinnati. That said, no one has any idea in what kind of form these two ladies have been.

What we know is that Naomi Osaka was brilliant in the two American tournaments. However, she’s been struggling with a thigh problem, which was the reason why she pulled out of the Cincinnati Final. A player who’s been in a great physical shape is Petra Kvitova. Although she may not be as good as the aforementioned players, she loves playing on clay courts. We can see the Czech star getting far in the brackets.

Petra Kvitova seems like the dark horse of the 2020 French Open. We believe there’s value in backing this player, at least that she’s going to reach latter stages of the tournament. Whether she can grab the title remains a big question.

Oddsmakers don’t think she’s going to make it. Instead, their odds suggest Simona Halep is going to be this year’s winner. Let’s take a look at the odds given by some major online bookmakers:

  • Simona Halep +450
  • Serena Williams +900
  • Ashleigh Barty +900
  • Garbine Muguruza +1000
  • Bianca Andreescu +1200
  • Naomi Osaka +1400
  • Elina Svitolina +1600
  • Angelique Kerber +1600
  • Petra Kvitova +2000

The odds of +2000 on Kvitova seems like a very good value. Why not give it a try with a small bet?
