Rafael Nadal was pegged as a heavy -275 favorite to win before play began on Sunday and everything says he is going to win it again this year. Nadal’s career record at Roland Garros is 28-0 and he is trying to become the first man to win the French Open five years in a row.

Nadal opened his tournament today against Marcos Daniel and was listed at -8000 to win.

Federer is also listed at -8000 in his opening match versus Alberto Martin. Federer is looking to win his first French Open championship and tie Pete Sampras with a record 14th major singles title.

Federer got a huge boost from winning last weekend’s Madrid Open final, ending Nadal’s 33-match winning streak on clay. Who are you betting on if these two giants of tennis square off again?
