Can Novak Djokovic seize on Carlos Alcaraz's French Open withdrawal and land a record 25th Grand Slam title? He is 16/1 to win at Roland-Garros

A record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title continues to elude Novak Djokovic, who has been stuck on 24 majors since winning the US Open in 2023. 

The Serb is currently level with Margaret Court for the most Grand Slam singles titles in history, and one more triumph would see him stand alone at the top of the all-time list. 

His hopes of winning a first major title in more than two-and-a-half years were boosted when reigning two-time champion Carlos Alcaraz withdrew through injury. 

Novak Djokovic is 16/1 with Sky Bet to land a record 25th Grand Slam title at the French Open

The Spaniard has become something of a bogey opponent for Djokovic in recent years, with the Serb losing three of his last four Grand Slam finals, all of which have come against Alcaraz.

Therefore, with Alcaraz out of contention at Roland-Garros, those backing Djokovic to capitalise and claim the title can get odds of 16/1 with Sky Bet, where he is the tournament’s third favourite.

He sits behind Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev in the betting market, with the pair priced at 1/3 and 12/1 respectively.

Four-time major winner Sinner is still searching for his maiden French Open crown, while Zverev remains without a Grand Slam title despite reaching three major finals during his career. 

The German has long threatened to make the breakthrough on the biggest stage –  but can he finally get over the line at Roland-Garros? Only time will tell. 

Casper Ruud and Rafael Jodar round out the top five in the betting market, with Ruud priced at 25/1 and Jodar slightly further back at 28/1.
