French Open Wrap

Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams both justified their pre-tournament French Open favoritism and brought about a solid victory for the online sportsbooks over the punters when they lifted the men's singles and women's singles trophies at Roland Garros over the weekend.

Nadal showed that he is king of clay by winning the French Open for the fourth straight time and a record eighth time overall despite having been in poor form in the leadup to the tournament. Likewise, Serena overcame a poor recent record in Paris to defeat all other challengers for the women's crown.
