Jannik Sinner came into the 2026 French Open as a -300 favorite to win it all, the second-shortest pre-tournament odds at a grand slam since at least 1990, and the shortest since Rafael Nadal (-400) at the 2009 French Open, a tournament in which he was upset in the fourth round. Sinner bowed out even earlier than the King of Clay, suffering a shocking second-round upset at the hands of Juan Manuel Cerundolo, who had pre-match 32-1 odds to win the contest and live odds as long as 100-1.
With Sinner out early, Alexander Zverev has filled the favorite void and is now +185 to win the men's tournament at Roland-Garros. Twenty-four-time major champion Novak Djokovic comes next at +330, with Casper Ruud (+800) and Rafael Jodar (+850) rounding out the players shorter than 10-1. Before the tournament, Zverev was the second-shortest player on the board at 12-1.
Sinner was far from the only man to be upset in the first two rounds: Daniil Medvedev (50-1), Ben Shelton (100-1), Taylor Fritz (100-1) and Alexander Bublik (100-1) all made early exits. Those five top-10 seeds losing was the most in the first two rounds of the French Open since 2004.
The women's side also saw its fair share of early upsets. Most notably, Elena Rybakina, who had come into the tournament with third-best +650 odds to win and decent support from the betting public, lost her second match, as did Jasmine Paolini (60-1). Jessica Pegula, who had been a popular selection among bettors at 50-1, lost her first match.
Iga Swiatek (+220) and Aryna Sabalenka (+240) remain the favorites, though they have traded positions for the top spot several times. Popular plays Coco Gauff (+550), Amanda Anisimova (28-1) and Naomi Osaka (50-1) all saw their odds improve slightly.
