Trading Talk - French Open

One of the greatest ever rivalries in sport has been given a boost after Roger Federer beat Rafael Nadal in the Madrid Open, and tennis spread bettors have been given a bit more to think about in the run up to the French Open. Although most, including Sporting Index's traders will be shocked by Rafa’s loss, Roland Garros spread buyers will not feel too concerned. This was the fifth clay loss suffered by Rafa in 155 matches, and only his fifth since 2005. The victory of Federer and the confidence he will bring to France will be a big draw for buyers of Federer’s tournament index.

The irrepressible Nadal has not lost a single match at Roland Garros since 2004, having beaten his arch rival Roger Federer in the last three finals. If the outcome in Madrid forbids any confident spread betting on the top two players in the world, punters may decide to look elsewhere, and spread betting interest is sure to be high in Andy Murray, who recently climbed to number three in the rankings. Sellers of his spread will however remind us of his surprise quarter-final defeat in Madrid and a disappointing third-round exit at Roland Garros last year.

The beauty of spread betting means punters do not have to call an outright result, but can bet on a number of aspects of a given match including total game supremacy. Looking to previous finals, in the Rafa era (2005 onwards), three of the four finals were won in four sets, with last year's victory achieved in straight sets. The average number of games in finals in this period is 34.25, although spread sellers will be encouraged by last year's one-sided match - Federer only managed to claim four games in the whole match, and it took just 22 games for Rafa to earn his fourth title. Sellers and buyers of the spread games supremacy for the men's final in games will be pleased to see that Fed's victory over Nadal in 2008 was 14 games.  https://hartingtongolf.com/lotto-or-lottery-how-to-choose-which-number-will-make-you-money/ He won just 6 more games than Federer in the 2007 final and only three more in 2006.

Last year's runner-up Dinara Safina has since climbed to the top of the WTA rankings, and buyers of her outright index spread will hope she can go one better this year. Spread sellers will also be pleased to note that the Williams sisters have both had a good year. However, they will not forget that neither of them has reached Roland Garros final since seven years ago. Spread bettors who are interested in game supremacy should know that the average supremacy of the women's final in the past five years has been 7.4.  nomor Sgp The highest spread make up in that period was a substantial 10 games when Mary Pierce, crowd favourite, was defeated by Henin in 2005.
