Is There Any Betting Edge In The 2021 Women’s French Open Odds?

• Barbora Krejcikova is a -130 favorite to win the French Open.
• Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova comes back with odds of +105 as a slight underdog.
• The Over/Under for games is set at 21.5 with both being listed with -115 odds.

PARIS – The French Open is nearing its end and only two remain on the women’s side of the tournament. Barbora Krejcikova and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova will face off on Saturday for the championship.

Krejcikova has dropped just sets this tournament and has beaten people like No. 6 Elina Svitolina, No. 18 Maria Sakkari, No. 25 Coco Gauff and Sloane Stephens as well.

Pavlyuchenkova hasn’t had an easy ride either, beating the tennis odds with wins over No. 4 Aryna Sabalenka, No. 16 Victoria Azarenka and No. 22 Elena Rybakina.

She dropped a set in three straight matches heading into the semifinal.

Both have looked good, but Krejcikova has been much more dominant throughout the tournament. That probably is a large part as to why legal online sportsbooks list her as the betting favorite.

Who Will Take Home The Trophy?

This is the first time the two will have ever played each other in a singles tournament. The two are also ranked directly next to one another with Krejcikova being No. 33 and Pavlyuchenkova being No. 34 in the WTA rankings.

Essentially, there is very little separating the two and no past performances to compare how they compete when playing one-on-one. It’s more of a guessing game than anything. The only difference between the players that could carry an edge is that Krejcikova has been a little better in comparison to her competition in this tournament.

The total is set in a place where if the match goes to a third set it will all but guarantee an Over. However, legal sports betting fans could see an Over bet cash in two sets if one of the players wins by sets of 6-4 and 7-5.

Given the moneyline odds, this is projected to be a close match and sportsbooks might be hinting at a prediction of a third set. However, since there are no prior matches to compare the two, this could easily end as a 6-2, 6-2 win for either competitor.
