Which players look favorites going into the Madrid Open?

Nadal Faces Thiem for Barcelona Title; Pouille Reaches Budapest Final

One of the big events on the ATP and WTA circuit is always the Madrid Open. Loved by fans and players alike, it always throws up some great tennis in one of Europe’s best cities. This year it is being held from 6th May 2019 to 14th May 2019 at the clay courts of Park Manzanares. As tennis fans begin to look ahead to the tournament, then they naturally begin to wonder who may win out in both the Men’s and Women’s singles events. Last year saw Germany’s Alexander Zverev win the Men’s title while Petra Kvitova triumphed in the Women’s. This year’s event should be another exciting one with many big-name players hoping their form holds good to win overall.

 What do the bookies make of it all? 

Of course, as well as subjective pundits’ views on who has the best chances, it also pays to look at what the bookmakers think. Very often, they will have a much more rational and factual take on things which can be useful.

Although all bookmakers will have slightly different odds, most have the same players tagged for victory. In the Men’s game, Nadal is their favorite with low odds of around 11/10. Djokovic is next in at 15/8 with Federer well down at 20/1. Dominic Thiem and Zverev are both around the 6/1 mark which may be a sign of a good tournament to come from them.

In terms of the women’s game, no odds have been released for who will win the WTA Madrid Open online as yet. By far the best thing to do is check back online nearer the time to see who they have decided to price up as favorites to win.

Whoever you decide to bet on and whatever bookmaker you use, remember to shop around to get the best value you can and the best odds. This will enable you to win more money overall if you pick the right player to triumph. Many US states, like New Jersey, now allow online sportsbook and casino gambling. This is the quickest and easiest way to bet on the Madrid Open in 2019 and also gives you access to the deposit bonuses online casinos give away. A great tip is to find the best first deposit at NJ online casinos to grab more money to bet with and bigger winnings!

Who have the pundits marked out for victory? 

When it comes to the Men’s title in Madrid, the pundits seem to have three major favorites marked out. Perhaps the biggest new for this year’s tournament is that Roger Federer is entering. Although clay is not his best surface, Federer is always a threat when it comes to winning tournaments. As this may be his last attempt to bag a clay court title before he focuses mainly on other surfaces, he may be putting in that bit extra effort to take him home.

A big challenge could come from his old foe and Spanish favorite Rafa Nadal though. His previous record on clay and at this tournament is pretty special which naturally puts him the frame. With the perfect game for clay courts and good form, he could be in with a shot according to many pundits.

Next to these two giants of the Men’s game, there is also Novak Djokovic to think about. Many pundits are backing him to carry on his resurgence of late and do well here. Although he has only won this title once, those in the know think he is in good enough form to challenge.

Which of the women players do the pundits back?

But which women have the pundits picked out to win at Madrid? Simona Halep seems to be one name on most people’s lips. Ending 2018 as the number one ranked player, she certainly has enough talent and winning experience in her locker to do it. She also likes clay too as her 2018 win at the French Open demonstrates.

Next to her it seems that last year’s winner Petra Kvitova is also the other main contender. Kvitova has started off 2019 in good form by reaching the final of the Australian Open. Many believe she will bring this into the Madrid open and make a real claim for the title again. Many pundits are also backing the person who beat Kvitova in Australia to do well – namely Naomi Osaka.

 Madrid 2019 should be a classic

With so many big names lined up to play in both the Men’s and Women’s event, the Madrid Open in 2019 is already looking like a classic. We have mapped out some of the players who the bookies and pundits fancy this year, but you might well have your own pick too. Whoever lifts each trophy, the tennis on show will surely be worth watching alone.
