Betting on Roland Garros 2027: the clay-court tournament in Paris
Roland Garros is the only Grand Slam tournament played on clay, which makes betting on the WTA tournament different from betting on the other Grand Slams. The slower surface leads to longer rallies, physically demanding matches and sometimes surprising results against the ranking. That makes the betting options for this edition just as interesting for many bettors as the tournament itself.
Roland Garros 2027 is scheduled from 17 May (start of qualifying) through 5 June (women's final), at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris. These dates are an early plan, subject to final confirmation by the FFT (French Tennis Federation).
At Napoleon Sports you'll find live odds for the entire WTA tournament, from the first round through to the final. You can also bet on the ATP tournament on this page.
What is Roland Garros?
Roland Garros, also known as the French Open, is one of the four Grand Slam tournaments in tennis, alongside the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the US Open. It's the only Grand Slam tournament played on clay (red clay), which makes it the physically toughest of the four, due to the lower ball bounce and the longer rallies that result from it. The tournament is held at the Stade Roland Garros, in the southwest of Paris, with Court Philippe-Chatrier as the main court. You can find more background, the full schedule and the roll of honour on the Roland Garros wiki.
History and records at Roland Garros
Andreeva's breakthrough in 2026
Mirra Andreeva won her first Grand Slam title at Roland Garros in 2026, at age 19, defeating Maja Chwalinska in straight sets. That put her name on the tournament's roll of honour at a young age.
An open throne in the women's draw
Defending champion Coco Gauff was unable to retain her title in 2026: she was knocked out as early as the third round by Anastasia Potapova. That shows how unpredictable the WTA tournament on clay can be, even for a reigning champion.
Clay as an equaliser
The slow, physically demanding surface at Roland Garros is behind many surprising results in the women's draw: stamina and movement over long rallies often weigh at least as heavily as the ranking on paper.
Why is betting on Roland Garros popular?
Roland Garros combines the prestige of a Grand Slam with the unpredictability of clay as a surface. That makes it one of the most interesting tournaments of the year to follow for many bettors.
- Grand Slam prestige: the highest level of the WTA season, with the entire world's elite taking part.
- Clay as a wildcard: the slower surface can turn the ranking upside down and leads to longer, more physically demanding matches.
- An open throne: after the 2026 edition, in which the defending champion was knocked out early, there's no obvious favourite for the years ahead.
- Two weeks of action: from the first round to the final, there's a wide range of betting markets available every day.
Belgian viewers and Roland Garros
In Belgium, the broadcast rights for Roland Garros belong to Eurosport (Warner Bros. Discovery), both via linear TV and the streaming services Max and discovery+, under an agreement running through 2030. Sporza and VRT no longer broadcast the tournament, having lost the rights in 2022.
Napoleon Sports doesn't broadcast footage itself, but offers live scores and live odds for the entire WTA tournament. This lets you follow the state of a match while watching it elsewhere, and adjust your bets accordingly in real time.
As a Belgian tennis fan, you can follow and bet on both the WTA and ATP tournaments of Roland Garros at Napoleon Sports, whichever part of the tournament interests you most.

Who is currently at the top?
According to the Napoleon Sports update of 18 August 2026, Aryna Sabalenka was ranked number 1 in the WTA world ranking, with Elena Rybakina in second place, followed by Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff. This ranking is a snapshot and keeps changing after every tournament.
At Roland Garros itself, the most recent title holder is Mirra Andreeva, who claimed her first Grand Slam title in 2026 at age 19, after defending champion Coco Gauff was knocked out as early as the third round.
A high ranking or a strong track record on clay says something about a player's form, but says nothing for certain about a future edition. No analysis or statistic predicts the outcome with certainty.
Betting tips for Roland Garros
A few general points can help you bet more thoughtfully on the WTA tournament at Roland Garros:
- Keep track of players' form and any injuries in the run-up to the tournament.
- Pay particular attention to how a player performs on clay: not every top player on hard court or grass is equally strong on this surface.
- Follow momentum shifts live during long rallies and physically demanding sets, which occur more often on clay than on other surfaces.
- Be careful with favourites whose odds are very low: clay can change the balance between players.
- Spread your stakes across several matches or bet types instead of putting everything on one bet.
Live betting on Roland Garros
During the WTA tournament at Roland Garros, you can also bet live: placing bets while a match is already underway. The odds then change continuously, based on how the set and the games unfold and the momentum between the two players.
That makes live betting interesting during long, physical clay-court matches, where the balance between two players can shift several times. Check out live tennis betting to respond directly to what's happening on court during the tournament.
