The 2025 men’s French Open projects to be an intense tournament. That’s especially true if it’s anything like the Italian Open. I doubt it will be any less interesting on the women’s side, as the best female tennis stars prepare to wage war on the Roland Garros clay.
This is arguably the toughest tennis grand slam to master, and that’s proven by a history of the championship changing hands. Iga Swiatek has made that conversation look silly with three consecutive titles, but before her current reign began, the women’s French Open saw a different winner in 15 straight tournaments.
Will that trend pick back up this year? The latest women’s French Open odds don’t appear to think so. You can bet that way if you want – I certainly wouldn’t blame you – but before you bite down too hard on any tennis picks, I’d be sure to turn over every possible stone to find the best bet that’s out there.
When is the 2025 French Open?
The 2025 French Open technically started on Monday, May 19th with the event’s qualifying rounds. The first round of the tourney officially sets off on May 25thm, however, with the championship round concluding on June 7th for the women’s side.
Women’s French Open Draw

If you want to watch the women’s French Open, you certainly have options. You can watch the French Open on TNT, TBS, and TruTV. Folks located in the UK can tune into TNT Sports or Discovery+ to catch the action in 2025.
2024 Women’s French Open Results
Iga Swiatek won the women’s French Open yet again last year. She entered the tourney having won the previous two French Open championships, and managed to defend her title for a second time.
Swiatek got little resistance from Jasmine Paolini, defeating her in straight sets relatively easily (6-2, 6-1). Her previous title defense in 2023 was a bit more intense, and she will enter the 2025 Roland Garros tourney looking to win her fourth championship here in a row.
French Open Odds
Check out the latest Women’s French Open odds, courtesy of the top sports betting sites:
French Open Odds | French Open Odds |
---|---|
Iga Swiatek (+175) | Aryna Sabalenka (+225) |
Coco Gauff (+400) | Mirra Andreeva (+650) |
Qinwen Zheng (+1100) | Jasmine Paolini (+1800) |
Elina Svitolina (+2200) | Elena Rybakina (+2500) |
Jelena Ostapenko (+2800) | Madison Keys (+3000) |
This is Iga Swiatek’s event to lose. She’s dominated here for three straight years and by all accounts is the new female version of Rafael Nadal. Roland Garros is her jam, and everyone else is stuck playing catch-up.
The crazy part? You can still get her at plus money. There’s no doubt that there are viable threats to take her down, but Swiatek is a killer value, all things considered.
Aryna Sabalenka and Coca Gauff look like viable threats, of course, and even Mirra Andreeva offers a compelling case at +650. Either way you look at it, though, you’re getting really nice value when betting on who will win the women’s French Open in 2025.
The only problem is you need to bet on the right player. I will work my way to my 2025 women’s French Open prediction, but I suggest getting all the help you can get before finalizing any bets. The best way to do that is to tap into the best handicappers the internet has to offer.
Women’s French Open Favorites
The following WTA players are considered the odds-on favorites to win the 2025 women’s French Open:
Iga Swiatek (+175)
This is a really nice price for Swiatek, who has claimed three straight titles at Roland Garros, as well as four of the last five. Obviously her run could end at any moment, but there isn’t much to suggest that it will, and based on her dominance her +175 French Open odds are honestly absurd.
Swiatek really hasn’t been challenged that much in the finals at this event, with Karolina Muchova being the only woman to take a single set from her in the championship match.
There is solid reasoning for betting against Iga Swiatek, of course. She won bronze at the Paris Games and helped Team Poland reach the final at the United Cup, but she also dealt with a scandal and has not performed up to expectations throughout 2025.
She failed to defend either of her clay court titles at the Mutua Madrid Open or Italian Open this year, while she’s struggled to even work her way to any tournament finals lately. Even so, she has dominated at the French Open and remains a really good bet to round back into form and take care of business.
Aryna Sabalenka (+225)
With Swiatek’s shaky form of late, bettors should be eyeing potential French Open contenders such as Aryna Sabalenka. The 27-year old has overtaken Swiatek as the #1 ranked women’s tennis player, as she’s enjoyed a stellar 2025 campaign this far.
Sabalenka opened up 2025 by taking down the Brisbane International, and she nearly claimed her third straight Australian Open title. She marched to the final, but ultimately fell short against Madison Keys.
The same thing happened at the Indian Wells, where Aryna at last got past Keys, but failed to deliver in the final versus Mirra Andreeva. From there, Sabalenka claimed her first ever Miami Open championship, and then proceeded to win the Mutua Madrid Open as well.
Sabalenka has been in strong form, which explains her world ranking and current odds to win the 2025 French Open. She has plenty of experience competing at a high level in grand slams, as evidenced by two Australian Open wins and a win at the US Open. She has not had the same success at this event, but a 2023 run to the semifinals is at least encouraging.
Coco Gauff (+400)
Another really interesting women’s French Open contender is Coco Gauff. Gauff has just one grand slam title to her name, but she did display her ceiling by taking down the US Open in 2023, and we also know she can navigate clay courts.
That was fully on display when she reached the French Open final in 2022, while she went undefeated at the United Cup and took down Iga Swiatek in the final. More specific to clay court competition, Gauff reached the final of the 2025 Italian Open before falling to Jasmine Paolini.
The 21-year old Gauff isn’t nearly as battle tested as Sabalenka or Swiatek, but there’s obviously a first time for everyone to get that elusive win. That could be the case here, as Gauff is good enough to contend for any grand slam event, and her form in 2025 has been rock solid.
Ideally bettors get a slightly more appealing price, but for one of the legit contenders to win Roland Garros, I think +400 is plenty fine.
Mirra Andreeva (+650)
My favorite contender after Swiatek has to be Mirra Andreeva, however. Her +650 odds are very appealing when you consider the fact that she is just 18 years old and is bound to hunt down her first grand slam win at some point.
Andreeva has been knocking on the door on that elusive title, as she has made it as far as the fourth round at the Australian Open (twice) and and Wimbledon. Even more encouraging, of course, is her career-best grand slam finish at this very event last year.
It’s always tough to trust such a young tennis star, but Andreeva is working toward a big win and so far in 2025 she’s looked fantastic. She notched her first career title in 2024, and kept the positive momentum rolling this year by becoming the youngest WTA 1000 champion of all-time.
Andreeva claimed her first doubles title at the Brisbane International, following that up with her record-breaking run to the Dubai Championships title. There’s more, as Andreeva also went on to claim the doubles title at the 2025 Miami Open, while she also went the distance at this year’s Indian Wells.
When talking talent and betting upside, I don’t know if there is a better French Open bet this year.
Best Women’s French Open Betting Value
Andreeva is my favorite contender, but Jasmine Paolini is easily the best value bet ahead of the 2025 women’s French Open. Despite finishing runner-up here just last year, she has only the 6th best odds. At +1800, she feels like a remarkable steal, even though bettors should tread lightly.
While the value is clear, it’s not like Paolini is a really good bet to actually win. The appeal is the fact that we know she is capable of at least reaching the final. Once there, anything can happen.
Unlike some of the top French Open contenders, Paolini is getting a bit long in the tooth. While still technically in her physical prime, she’s 29 now and the clock is ticking for her to secure her first ever grand slam win.
Paolini has come relatively close, of course. There was last year’s French Open final, while she also had her best finishes at all four tennis grand slams in 2024, reaching at least the fourth round in each.
This year, she’s made some solid runs. She reached the semifinals at the 2025 Miami Open, while she also reached the SF at the Stuttgart Open. The biggest vote of confidence for a Paolini upset, though, is her performance at the 2025 Italian Open, where she bested Coco Gauff to claim the title.
Paolini’s effort at last year’s French Open and 2025 work to this point make her more than just a nice value bet; she is a legitimate threat to win this thing.
Top Women’s French Open Longshot
Want even more value at the French Open? Why not consider throwing some cash at former Roland Garros champion, Jelena Ostapenko.
Her win feels like it happened forever ago, but she actually won the French Open in 2017. That’s still almost a decade ago at this point, but she’s still in her physical prime at age 27 and has a chance to return insane value on her +2800 price tag.
Ostapenko hasn’t had a ton of success at other grand slams, failing to advance further than the SF in any beyond the French Open. Not being able to even get back to the French Open final in almost a decade probably isn’t helping her case much, either.
Still, she has the experience and proven upside bettors like to buy into, while Ostapenko also has been quite productive so far in 2025. She reached the doubles final at the Australian Open this year, while she also reached the final of the Qatar Ladies Open. She had some solid individual success, too, as she claimed the 2025 Stuttgart Open title with a win over Iga Swiatek.
Jelena Ostapenko is a long shot to win the 2025 French Open for a reason. However, she’s done it before, she offers killer betting value, and her 2025 form is decent enough. I wouldn’t go too hard at her this year, but at +2800 she is worth a cursory glance.
Women’s French Open Finals
We won’t know the official women’s French open bracket until the draw, but that won’t stop me from predicting who the final two women will be.
My expected French Open women’s final will consist of the defending champ, Swiatek, and the surging Mira Andreeva. A pretty strong case can be made for several women to at least get here. I am very worried about Swiatek’s 2025 form, but the narrative and her sheer dominance here could will her to at least one more French Open title defense.
Andreeva could be waiting for her on the other side. The 18-year old lacks experience, but she’s accomplished a ton in her short time on the women’s tennis circuit and a big grand slam win is just around the corner.
Women’s French Open Predictions
I came into this women’s French Open betting preview thinking I’d just roll with the defending champ. After looking further into it, though, Swiatek’s form this year has been rather suspect, while her struggles in clay court tournaments specifically is troubling.
That doesn’t mean she won’t get to the final and it doesn’t mean she can’t win. However, winning four consecutive grand slams is not easy, so if she does get back to the final, I won’t be shocked if she gets upended.
I would be willing to hear arguments for any of the tennis players I analyzed above, but my favorite is Mira Andreeva. A lot of times in sports betting it’s less about what a player or team has done, and more about what they could do next. That’s the case with Andreeva, as she absolutely has started to lay the foundation of an amazing career.
Andreeva is going to get a grand slam soon enough. Her strong efforts so far in 2025 and last year’s French Open run combine – along with her appealing French Open odds – to make her my favorite bet on the board. It doesn’t hurt Andreeva’s outlook that she so far has the edge (2-1) H2H versus the reigning French Open champ, either.
Bet: Mira Andreeva (+650)
