Jannik Sinner 29-match win streak, -350 favorite

Jannik Sinner arrived at Roland Garros on Sunday as the clear betting favorite in a men’s draw reshaped by form and injury. CBS Sports reported that Sinner brought a 29-match winning streak into the tournament and had gone 17-0 on clay this season. The same outlet listed him at -350 in pre-tournament odds, with Alexander Zverev and Novak Djokovic trailing well behind. Roland Garros’ official draw lists Sinner as the No. 1 seed and shows him opening against France’s Clement Tabur. The tournament site also said Sinner completed the Career Golden Masters in Rome last weekend, leaving the French Open as the only Grand Slam title missing from his collection. ### How unusual is Sinner’s position entering Paris? (cbssports.com) CBS Sports said Sinner has won 29 straight matches entering the event, a run built on titles at Indian Wells, Miami, Monte-Carlo, Madrid and Rome. That sequence has carried him through hard-court Masters events and the full spring clay swing before Paris. (rolandgarros.com) The Roland Garros website underscored the scale of his season by noting that Rome completed his Career Golden Masters. That placed the 24-year-old Italian in a narrow historical group and sent him to Paris with the top seeding. ### What do the betting markets say? (cbssports.com) CBS Sports reported Sinner at -350 to win the men’s title before the tournament began on May 24. The same odds roundup put Zverev at 11-1 and Djokovic at 12-1, a gap that showed how heavily the market leaned toward Sinner before the first ball in the main draw. (rolandgarros.com) A separate CBS Sports betting preview published earlier in May had listed Sinner at -260 as of May 7. The move from that level to -350 by tournament week indicates that the market shortened further as Roland Garros approached. That is an inference from the two published price points. ### Why did the field tilt so heavily toward him? (cbssports.com) CBS Sports said Sinner “does not have to contend with Carlos Alcaraz this year due to an injury.” Its tournament draw story added that Alcaraz, described there as a back-to-back French Open champion, would miss Roland Garros and had already withdrawn from Wimbledon with a wrist injury. (cbssports.com) Roland Garros also highlighted outside views on the draw. In a conference call cited by the tournament website, John McEnroe said, “To me, ultimately, it’s Sinner against the field, and I’d take Sinner right now.” ### What is directly in front of Sinner now? The official Roland Garros draw shows Sinner in the top quarter, with Tabur first on his path. (cbssports.com) The tournament match page lists that first-round meeting as upcoming, while the full draw places Zverev on the opposite side as the No. 2 seed and Djokovic in the lower half as the No. 3 seed. (rolandgarros.com) Sunday, May 24 marked the official start of the 2026 French Open, CBS Sports said, with the men’s and women’s singles brackets under way. Sinner’s first-round match against Tabur is listed on the tournament site, where the draw and daily results are being updated. (cbssports.com) (rolandgarros.com)
