The French Open starts this weekend of Tennis Betting with some of the big online betting bookmakers offering their free bets as normal for tennis fans. The free money is normally available for a tennis bet with the well known names : Stan James, Ladbrokes, Betfair, etc.

Bit of an intriguing one this rally as some of the crowd pullers such as Roger Federer and Pete Sampras aren’t usually as successful on the unique surface which tends to hold the ball up a little bit and force a higher bounce. The surface is basically clay and brings a completely different tennis arena than anything else, a bit like Wimbledon does with grass.

The women also get underway with the number one being Maria Sharapova who’ll be looking for a title win after a shocking exit from the Australian Open Final earlier this year. The culprit of course was Serena Williams who herself will be getting ready for a revenge attack!

Sharapova had had an injury recently to her shoulder but hopefully has recovered enough to free the arms up and be fully fit.
