Great value on Iga, Coco, and Mirra heading into the clay court season.
FanDuel has posted early French Open women’s singles betting odds, and as always, clay changes everything.
Roland Garros is not about quick points or hot hard-court form. Clay slows the ball, extends rallies, and puts a premium on patience, defense, and holding up physically over two weeks.
That is why futures betting here is less about who can win and more about how often a player would need to win for the price to make sense.
Below are three early French Open futures bets to consider, based on clay results, pricing, and realistic expectations rather than reputation or hype.
2026 Ladies French Open Futures Odds by FanDuel
| Player Pool | Outright Odds |
|---|---|
| Iga Świątek | +220 |
| Aryna Sabalenka | +250 |
| Coco Gauff | +430 |
| Mirra Andreeva | +650 |
| Elena Rybakina | +1100 |
| Elina Svitolina | +1600 |
| Qinwen Zheng | +1700 |
| Amanda Anisimova | +2500 |
| Iva Jovic | +3000 |
| Victoria Mboko | +4000 |
The Favorite, and Why the Price Makes Sense
Iga Świątek (+200)
Iga Świątek’s record at Roland Garros speaks for itself. Since her first appearance in 2019, she has won the French Open four times in seven appearances and almost always reaches the late rounds.
That means she has won this tournament more than half the times she has played it, which is rare at any Grand Slam and especially rare on clay.
So when she is priced at +200, the odds are not asking for something unrealistic. They are asking you to believe she continues doing what she has already done repeatedly in Paris.
The trade-off is flexibility. At this number, you are backing dominance, but there is little margin if something goes wrong over a two-week tournament.
Why Coco Gauff Is Undervalued
Coco Gauff (+430)
Coco Gauff enters Roland Garros as the defending French Open champion, yet she is not priced like one.
That pricing is largely a reaction to her quick early-round exit at the Australian Open, where markets tend to overreact to hard-court results that do not always translate to clay.
On this surface, Gauff’s movement, defensive range, and ability to survive long matches give her a higher floor than most of the field. She has already proven she can win seven matches in Paris.
Based on surface fit and results, Gauff should be the second favorite behind Świątek. At +430, the odds reflect recent disappointment more than proven success at Roland Garros.
Andreeva’s High-Ceiling Clay Profile With Room to Grow
Mirra Andreeva (+650)
The odds are longer mainly because she is young, not because her clay-court results are lacking.
Mirra Andreeva already plays high-margin clay tennis, understands rally tolerance, and is comfortable constructing points over long exchanges. Her record backs that up. She is 67–18 on clay with five professional titles.
This is not a safe bet, but the odds are big enough to strongly consider an early wager.
Why Some Big Names Were Left Out
Not every recognizable name belongs in a discussion of February French Open futures. Early prices often hinge on reputation and recent hard-court results, but Roland Garros is decided by consistent clay-court performance over two weeks.
Several well-known players have consistently failed to translate their games into deep Paris runs. Including them would create the illusion of value where history says otherwise.
Long odds alone do not equal opportunity. On clay, results matter more than name value.
A Simple Reminder for Beginners
In futures betting, plus money does not automatically mean value.
What matters is how often a player must win the tournament for the odds to make sense, and whether that expectation is realistic over seven matches on clay.
There is no obligation to bet futures. The edge comes from patience, not participation.
