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 menâ€™s history. However, instead of the backdrop at this yearâ€™s 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between the two of them to see who could win the record-setting 23rd Grand Slam, all eyes are on Djokovic as Nadal has withdrawn from Roland Garros with a hip injury.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 Djokovicâ€™s sole pursuit of history, and if he can continue the legacy of the Big Threeâ€™s 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 yearâ€™s French Open serve as a changing of the guard in Menâ€™s Tennis? Read on for our thoughts and predictions for the top contenders at the 2023 French Open.

2023 French Open Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions: Novak Djokovic

Here is our betting outlook for the 2023 French Open.

2023 French Open Betting Predictions

Djokovic is one of two active players (Stan Wawrinka) is the other, to have a French Open win under their belt. That should not be understated given that Nadal is 112-3 in his career at Roland Garros, and has won four consecutive French Open titles three different times in his career. Djokovic had a disappointing appearance in Rome, losing in the quarterfinals in three sets to Holger Rune. That was his first loss in Rome to someone other than Nadal since the 2017 final against Alexander Zverev.

2023 French Open Betting Advice & Picks

Djokovic may have exited earlier from Rome than he would have expected, but beating him at a major in a five-set format is a different animal. Djokovic has not lost a fifth set at a major since the 2019 French Open (to Dominic Thiem), and he has lasted longer than Alcaraz at each of the last four tournaments both have appeared in. On the short list of the two co-favorites, Djokovic is our choice to win at Roland Garros.
