Our prediction for the winner of the men's tennis Olympic tournament

Due to the high number of competitors with legitimate medal hopes, the new Olympic event is fraught with unprecedented uncertainty. Battles will be fought on Roland Garros's renowned clay courts at Porte d'Auteuil. As a result, experts in this field will have a significant edge. There are now three clear front-runners. Naturally, the first is Novak Djokovic, now ranked #1 globally and has won three titles at the Paris courts. Even though he has never won an Olympic gold medal, he will indeed prioritise this year's competition.

The second heavy favourite going into this event is Carlos Alcaraz. He is unbeatable on clay when in peak condition and has few weaknesses. Nevertheless, the young Spanish sensation is experiencing a string of health issues, so his fitness level in a few weeks is uncertain. Last but not least, Jannik Sinner is a significant favourite. With the finest start to the 2024 season thus far, the Italian enjoys a commanding lead in the Race. He is a strong contender to repeat his success in Paris after winning the Australian Open.

Some critical outsiders include Alexander Zverev, Casper Ruud, and Stéfanos Tsitsipás. While each of the three does well on clay, they are inconsistent overall. Although it is far from definite, Rafael Nadal may be considered for this Olympic competition.

We believe Jannik Sinner has a strong shot of winning, even if it's hard to tell who will take first place. In contrast to Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, he has gotten off to a great start this season. The Italian is riding high right now and is a clay court specialist. It's best of three sets, so beating a Serb or a Spaniard will be easier. 

Our prediction on the men's doubles at the 2024 Olympics

Since all the doubles teams are still in the air, it's hard to provide an accurate prediction now. It would be premature to make predictions once we know the participants. The fact that certain doubles combinations, like the top-ranked Granollers/Zeballos team, cannot play together due to differences in nationality further adds a new twist to the game.

The U.S. has two top-ten ATP doubles players—Rajeev Ram and Austin Krajicek—so they should be able to bring home a medal. France also has a chance to win something because of their seasoned duo of Nicolas Mahut and Édouard Roger-Vasselin. Stay tuned for the rest.

2024 Olympic women's tennis prediction: odds on the favourites for the gold medal

• Iga Swiatek - 1.58
• Coco Gauff - 7.00
• Elena Rybakina - 13.00
• Mirra Andreeva - 17.00
• Naomi Osaka - 17.00
• Marketa Vondrousova - 17.00
• Jasmine Paolini - 23.00
• Zheng Qinwen - 23.00
• Jelena Ostapenko - 31.00
• Elina Svitolina - 34.00
• Danielle Collins - 41.00
• Beatriz Haddad Maia - 41.00
• Daria Kasatkina - 41.00
• Barbora Krejcikova - 41.00
• Emma Navarro - 41.00
• Linda Noskova - 41.00
• Maria Sakkari - 41.00
• Bianca Andreescu - 51.00

Our prediction on the women's tennis tournament at the 2024 Olympics (Ladies)

Also, the women's competition in the Paris Olympics is looking like it will be a must-see. We know that many unexpected outcomes are possible in competitions of this nature. That was the situation in Tokyo in 2020 when Belinda Bencic of Switzerland took home the gold. Surprisingly, only Elina Svitolina—one of only eight players in the top eight—made it to the semi-finals that year. Is it going to happen again this year? 

Now that the hierarchy is so well defined, Iga Swiatek is going to be the heavy favourite to take home the gold medal in the Olympics. She has won three Masters 1000 championships this year and is now ranked first in the world. Additionally, Swiatek will face a diminished danger from Aryna Sabalenka, as she will not be competing in the Olympic Games this year.

Our prediction for the women's doubles at the 2024 Olympics

Betting on the different doubles is similarly challenging without first understanding their makeup, as with men's doubles. We should also determine whether the draw includes any top female singles players. Predictions may be risky, and there will likely be many shocks. You should focus more on betting on individual matches than on the tournament champions.

Tips on how to bet on the 2024 Tennis Olympics

Betting on the Olympics by analysing players' present forms

Checking the players' current forms should be your first order of business. Tennis is a game of self-assurance; a losing streak may put even the best player in a bad mood. This is a crucial metric to monitor. Since the ATP rankings are not a precise science, you should base your wagers on something other than them alone.

Pleasee two players' performances in the last three or four tournaments and analyse their winning percentages. Check out the teams they competed against in those competitions. Compared to losses against players ranked higher than 100th globally, a Novak Djokovic loss has less of an effect. Last but not least, think about the players' fitness levels. This is a crucial element when dealing with clay. A player's chances of winning decrease when they regain their rhythm after a lengthy recovery.

View the record of matches that have gone head-to-head.

Imagine breaking out all of the head-to-head encounters that have taken place between the two athletes. It is typical for the lower-ranked player to have a better win-loss record (generally or on a specific surface) than their opponent. The mind plays a crucial part in tennis, and a player gains a prominent edge after a run of wins against the same opponent. It would be foolish to ignore this parameter as it is among the simplest and fastest to analyse. If a player has an extremely high negative ratio compared to their opponent, it's generally not a good idea to bet on them since you can lose your investment.

Consider the Paris Olympics' surface area.

To wager efficiently on tennis, it is essential to consider the surface, another crucial component. Tennis on hard courts differs from clay courts, and you should be aware of this. Although some people are very comfortable in this field, others aren't. Some people, including Daniil Medvedev, really dislike this surface. That's why, despite his high position, we have not categorised him as a favourite or an outsider in the battle.

When playing on clay, how can you identify a strong player? His performance on this surface is the simplest method to get a decent idea. Seek for players who can soar high, have lightning-quick feet, and provide excellent support from the baseline if you want to advance. These are the most critical characteristics for playing successfully on this surface. It will be a great beginning regardless of whether additional KPIs are included.

Keep an eye on how the clay court players do

Following up on our last suggestion, you may want to look at the clay-court season's outcomes. Thanks to the Grand Slam and three Masters 1000 events (Monte Carlo, Rome, and Madrid), plenty of statistics are available to ascertain a player's form on this surface. You won't believe how fast and effective it is!

If you want to know how excellent a player is on clay, watch how they play in these events. You may improve your odds of winning by adjusting your wagers in light of these outcomes.

Consider the schedule for the Olympic Tennis Tournament.

Tennis players are in for a challenging season, especially with the rapidly approaching Olympic year. Midway through June, the French Open and the clay season ended, and the action shifted to the illustrious grass court in London. Change is never easy... This year, Wimbledon will conclude on July 14—just two weeks before the beginning of the Olympic event (27 July-4 August). What this means is that the players should not expect a picnic.

Therefore, being physically fit is going to be crucial for this competition. It might be wise to give the nod to players who were knocked out early at Wimbledon and have had a chance to recover. You'll undoubtedly have to monitor this parameter closely! Keeping track of the players' form and ailments after Wimbledon will increase your chances of winning bets.
