Carlos Alcaraz will attempt to keep his impressive summer going when he competes in the tennis competition of the 2024 Paris Olympics at Roland Garros. At the start of the summer, Alcaraz mastered the clay at Roland Garros to win his first French Open title. Then he dominated on the grass to win Wimbledon for his second straight title at the All England Club. The 21-year-old from Spain enters the Summer Games as the -150 favorite (risk $150 to win $100) in the 2024 Paris Olympics tennis odds for men's singles. World No. 1 and Australian Open champ Jannik Sinner of Italy was among the favorites, but he has withdrawn due to illness. Alcaraz also will go for men's doubles gold with countryman and 22-time grand slam winner Rafael Nadal.
On the women's side, Iga Swiatek of Poland is the -180 favorite, while American Coco Gauff is second in the odds at +500. Play begins Saturday and runs through Aug. 4. Before making any 2024 Summer Olympics tennis picks or predictions, you need to see what SportsLine tennis handicapper Jose Onorato has to say.
Onorato grew up playing competitive tennis in Caracas, Venezuela. After coming to the U.S., he trained with famed coach Nick Bollettieri at IMG Academy in Florida and faced players like Robert Farah, now one of the world's top-ranked doubles players.
Onorato, who holds dual degrees in finance and economics from the University of Miami, does extensive research before placing any tennis bets. He studies current form, players' tendencies on a particular surface, weather conditions and many other relevant factors. That systematic approach has helped Onorato go 168-106-9 (+107.12 units) since 2022. Two months ago in the 2024 French Open at Roland Garros, he correctly picked Iga Swiatek (-160) to win the women's title.
Now, Onorato has broken down the latest odds for the 2024 Paris Olympics tennis competitions and has identified his best bets and players to fade. He's sharing all of his picks and analysis at SportsLine.
Top 2024 Paris Olympics predictions
One surprise: Onorato is down on the chances of Swiatek in women's singles. Swiatek has won five grand slam titles in her career: four French Opens and one U.S. Open. Earlier this month though she was knocked out in the third round at Wimbledon by world No. 35 Yulia Putintseva.
More than anything, Onorato wants to stay away from the heavy price for Swiatek. The 23-year-old from Poland is a heavy -180 favorite in the 2024 Paris Olympics odds. "I prefer putting money where there's more value," Onorato told SportsLine. You can see whom to pick here.
