Action at Roland Garros for the 2019 French Open is rapidly approaching. Let’s dive deeper into the top five favorites in men’s singles.

Atop the list of favorites for the 2019 French Open is none other than the King of Clay himself. We’ll get to Rafael Nadal and his chances, along with our predictions for his performance at Roland Garros, at the end of this list.

Coming in at #5 is Swiss tennis superstar Roger Federer. As of writing, the great Federer is seen by most tennis fans and sports books as the number five pick to take the title in men’s singles at this year’s French Open. Federer is the 2009 champion at the major tournament. He is surging as of late on the 2019 ATP Tour though and could be poised to breakout for yet another Grand Slam singles title.

While Federer is coming in at around 25-1 right now in the men’s singles field, he could very well be one of the most undervalued picks to take the title. The Swiss legend is currently atop the ATP Race to London and has two singles titles already on the year. He won at both the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Miami Open. Federer made it title number 100 and then 101 with these wins. A major tournament title on top of them would do wonders to boost the 37-year-old’s resume leading toward Wimbledon and then the US Open.
