Olympic Games Paris 2024: Games of the XXXIII Olympiad
Early Round Recap
The first round has concluded at the men’s Olympic tennis tournament in Paris, France and the draw has largely gone as expected thus far, with only a couple upsets and all top-10 players advancing.
This year’s Olympic tennis tournament is an interesting one as it takes place at Roland Garros, where about two months ago Carlos Alcaraz won his third career grand slam.
Alcaraz won again at Wimbledon and is now the betting favorite to win the Olympic gold medal.
Writer’s Picks for Olympic Tennis
Players Action in the Next Matches
Although he hasn’t had his best year on the ATP Tour, Novak Djokovic earned the top seed in Paris and won his first-round match against Aussie Matthew Ebden 6-0, 6-1.
Djokovic will now play Rafael Nadal in the second round in what should be an absolute treat for tennis fans.
Nadal is the most accomplished player in French Open history and is always a threat at Roland Garros.
He earned a first-round win in three sets over Hungarian Marton Fucsovics.
In other notable action, defending Olympic champion Alexander Zverev beat Spaniard Jaume Munar in the first round.
Other top-five seeds Daniil Medvedev, playing as an Independent Neutral Athlete, and Alcaraz are through to the second round with straight set first-round victories.
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner withdrew before the start of the tournament, as did Aussie Alex de Minuar.
Men’s Outright Odds
Carlos Alcaraz -138
Novak Djokovic +250
Alexander Zverev +650
Casper Ruud +1400
Rafael Nadal +1600
Stefanos Tsitsipas +2000
Daniil Medvedev +2800
Taylor Fritz +4000
Lorenzo Musetti +5000
Felix Auger Aliassime +6600
Olympic Tennis Potential Upsets
Novak Djokovic (-649) vs. Rafael Nadal (+420)
Djokovic has been playing better as of late, despite coming up short in three sets in a disappointing Wimbledon final against Alcaraz.
He might not be on the level of young phenoms Alcaraz and Sinner, but he is still one of the best players in the world and capable of winning any tournament he enters.
With that said, Nadal is the “King of Clay” for a reason.
The 14-time French Open winner excels at Roland Garros and might just have one more notable moment left before he rides off into the sunset.
Nadal is 8-2 against Djokovic in the French Open.
There’s a sizable gap in ability between the two players at this point in their careers, especially with all of the injuries Nadal has dealt with lately.
But Djokovic has had his own injury troubles this season and, with it being only a three-set match, Nadal could very well score the upset.
Dan Evans (+880) vs. Stefanos Tsitsipas (-2273)
This is a bit more wishful thinking, but it wouldn’t be completely surprising if Dan Evans were to beat eighth-ranked Stefanos Tsitsipas.
The Olympics are known for being unpredictable and, with few upsets in the first round, expect some in the second round.
Evans is the defending champion at the DC Citi Open, which is taking place this week in Washington, so he could use that as a motivator in Paris.
Tsitsipas is 4-0 against Evans, but has had a disappointing season.
He is ranked No. 12 in the world after losing four of his last 10 matches and is just 10-5 on hard courts.
He needed three sets to win his opening round match against Zizou Bergs, who is ranked No. 73.
Longshot Picks
If the Olympics were anywhere but Paris, there would be some potential interesting longshot picks.
But Alcaraz is likely to continue his dominance on clay and make a run to the final.
With that said, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Daniil Medvedev are decent longshot picks.
Auger-Aliassime has shown signs of getting his game back on track in 2024 and has improved considerably on clay, whereas Medvedev was a runner-up in the Australian Open and reached the semis at Wimbledon, indicating he could be due for a major victory this year.
Olympic Tennis Final Picks
Even as a major betting favorite, I’m not betting against Alcaraz at Roland Garros, especially considering how favorable of a draw he has.
Tommy Paul, ranked ninth, is the top seed he could face in the quarter-finals, and he could potential meet Djokovic in the final.
He beat Djokovic in straight sets here in the final of the French Open.
Pick: Alcaraz
