Holger Rune: 2023 French Open Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions
Novak Djokovic won his 22nd Grand Slam at the Australian Open earlier this year, which pulled him into a tie with Rafael Nadal for the most major titles in menâs history. However, instead of the backdrop at this yearâs French Open being a competition between the two of them to see who could win the record-setting 23rd Grand Slam, all eyes are on Djokovic as Nadal has withdrawn from Roland Garros with a hip injury. Thus, for the first time since 2004, Nadal will not compete in the French Open, which leaves a huge void in this tournament, considering his 14 titles are the most by any male of female tennis player at any single Grand Slam in history. Instead, the narrative changes to Djokovicâs sole pursuit of history, and if he can continue the legacy of the Big Threeâs dominance. However, the younger generation is pounding on the doorstep, led by world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz, the favorite heading into Roland Garros. Will this yearâs French Open serve as a changing of the guard in Menâs Tennis? Read on for our thoughts and predictions for the top contenders at the 2023 French Open.

2023 French Open Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions: Holger Rune
Here is our betting outlook for the 2023 French Open.
2023 French Open Betting Predictions
Holger Rune made the quarterfinals in his first and only French Open appearance, and with Rafael Nadal out, he has the game to secure his first major title. Rune became the first player since Nadal to record back-to-back wins over Djokovic, and did so on different surfaces. And he has shown he can beat any of the game's best, as per OptaAce, he became the sixth player this century to win six or more consecutive matches against top-5 opponents. He is 6-3 combined against the current top-5, and while just one of those wins was in a best-of-5 format (in last year's Round of 16 at Roland Garros against Stefanos Tsitsipas), the confidence he takes out of those matches is crucial.
2023 French Open Betting Advice & Picks
It would be wise to have a stake in either Alcaraz or Djokovic, but for a flier on someone with +950 or worse odds, Rune is the smartest choice.
