Roland Garros winner prediction: Who will win the tournament in 2026?
Reigning Roland Garros champion Carlos Alcaraz will not return to the Paris clay court to defend his trophy due to an injury. After a 2025 edition where he had to battle against his rivals, defeating Jannik Sinner in a legendary final, the Spaniard will be missed for this Roland Garros 2026.
The world No. 1, Jannik Sinner, was therefore the big favourite in 2026. From his first clay tournament of the season, in Monte-Carlo, Sinner had made a strong impact by dominating the competition. He then proved to his opponents (Zverev, Djokovic, Ruud) that he was the number 1 threat on clay at the moment. He who has never won a Grand Slam on clay, he might just have the opportunity in the absence of his main rival.
Unfortunately, as the overwhelming favourite, he couldn't withstand the heat and an injury, getting knocked out in the 2nd round. Just like the four-time winner Novak Djokovic, who lost in the 3rd round... Several outsiders have thus become the top favourites, including the 2024 finalist, Alexander Zverev.
We now give the advantage to the German, who has a golden opportunity to win his first Grand Slam tournament. Our Roland Garros ATP prediction: Alexander Zverev wins the tournament!

Roland Garros Women's Winner Prediction: Who will win the WTA tournament in 2026?
As with the men's event, the women's draw at the French Open is well worth a look again this year. However, a quartet of favourites have emerged, including defending champion Coco Gauff, against the world's number 1, Aryna Sabalenka.
Both players were, of course, among the favourites again this year, alongside four-time tournament winner Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina, among others. In the end, none of the four will make it through, as we have already seen plenty of surprises in this 2026 edition of the WTA Roland Garros.
It is now the young Mirra Andreeva who is our favourite to go all the way; she is coming off a title in Stuttgart and a final in Madrid, among other achievements, and is therefore in fine form of late. She will be aiming to win her first major tournament. Our Roland Garros WTA prediction: Mirra Andreeva wins the women's tournament!
Roland Garros Women's prediction: Odds for the WTA title
- Mirra Andreeva - 2.50
- Diana Schnaider - 4.00
- Maja Chwalinska - 8.00

Our tips for predicting Roland Garros tennis matches
As well as betting on the final winners, are you interested in making your own predictions for Roland Garros? Are you planning to take advantage of this open 2026 event to try your hand at some sports betting? It promises to be another exciting fortnight so it is a great time to have a bet. To have a chance of winning reliably on your predictions, and therefore boosting your winnings, here is some advice to follow when placing your bets on the matches. Although no winnings are guaranteed when it comes to sports betting, they will undoubtedly help you to perform well on Roland Garros 2026.
Analyse the players' current form before Roland Garros
The first piece of advice to follow for your bets on Roland Garros 2026 is obviously to analyse the current form of the two players who will be facing each other. Don't be fooled, and don't bet on a player's prestige or ATP ranking alone for all that the ranking is important. As in all sports, tennis often sees the fittest players perform best, especially on a surface like clay. So when making your tennis predictions, ask yourself a number of questions. How have the two players fared in recent tournaments? How did their last matches go? How many sets did they concede since the start of the tournament? How much time have they spent on court, and how many hours have they rested? By finding an answer to each of these questions, you'll have a good idea of how fit the two players are and which one to choose for your tennis bet.
Look at the history of head-to-head matches
The second piece of advice from our experts is to look at the history of recent head-to-head encounters between the two players. More than in any other sport, psychology is crucial in tennis, and a mental edge for one player or the other will often make the difference. Has the player you want to bet on lost his last 3 duels against his opponent on the day? Avoid taking the risk, especially if one of these matches was played recently, or on clay. Each recent encounter will give you an indication of the match to expect.
Take into account the Paris surface
To follow on from the previous point, don't forget to take the playing surface into account either. As a third tip, we'd like to remind you that the surface is very important in tennis, as each player has his or her own specific characteristics. For example, a player with a good serve will have an advantage on a surface like grass, while a complete player in top form will perform better on hard court.
At Roland Garros, clay is used, mainly outdoors. Ideal for physically strong players with good defence, it allows a slower game where tactics become even more important. To make sure you don't make a mistake when making your sports bets, take a look at the two players' most recent results on clay. This will give you an excellent indication of the result you can expect from the match.
Keep track of recent Roland Garros tournaments
Fourth tip: take into account recent editions of the French Open. In tennis, don't forget that some players have their favourite tournaments, where they like to shine. Past great performances, proximity to the public, favourite surface or tournament conditions... not all tennis players have the same reference points at Roland Garros, and this often affects their performance in the competition. For a more detailed analysis of each duel, we recommend that you consult the results of the last two editions.
A Novak Djokovic or a Casper Ruud, for example, will always be more likely to win a match than another player who has not shone so far at Roland Garros, such as Daniil Medvedev. It's a logic that should be adopted in every match, regardless of the level of the players involved.
Check the ATP rankings
The fifth and final piece of advice is to check the ATP rankings before Roland Garros. Motivation counts for a lot in tennis, and a place to play for (or defend) can make all the difference in a match at Porte d'Auteuil. If a player has the opportunity to break into the Top 8 of the ATP rankings, for example, you can be sure that he will give everything on the court to perform well. The same goes for a player who could finish first or enter the Top 3, or another who could become his country's No. 1. This aspect is often overlooked by punters, yet it can clearly make all the difference.
Before betting on a Roland Garros 2026 match, take a look at the current ATP Ranking. You can find it easily on the official ATP website.

The statistics you need to know for your Roland Garros 2026 predictions
Now that you know the prediction tips from our tennis specialists, let's talk about the interesting statistics from the Roland Garros tournament. These figures, taken from the most recent edition of the tournament, will be particularly useful if you are a fan of alternative betting. Number of points or sets in a match, tie-break or not, final score... the bookmakers offer you several possible bets. Here are the key figures to help you make the best predictions for the 2026 tournament:
- Average number of games per match: 35.6 games
- Three-set matches: 48% of matches
- Four-set matches: 31% of matches
- Five-set matches: 21% of matches
- Matches where the winner won the 1st set: 75% of matches
- Matches with a comeback (0-2 / 3-2): 7% of matches
- Matches with a Golden Set (6-0): 10% of matches
- Matches with a tie-break in the 1st set: 14% of matches
- Matches with a tie-break in the 2nd set: 14% of matches
- Matches with a tie-break in the 3rd set: 17% of matches
- Matches with a tie-break in the 4th set: 6% of matches
These Roland Garros statistics show that you should favour three-set matches if you like to bet on the exact score of a match, prefer to bet on the player who won the first set if you're playing live and don't hesitate to try the big odds on the golden set (6-0), especially on duels that appear to be unbalanced. The bookmakers offer very good odds on these side bets, so it would be a real shame to miss out.
