FRENCH OPEN BETTING TIPS TSONGA AND SODERLING IN ACTION

It’s over spill in the French Open match betting markets at William Hill after a rain-soaked Thursday wrecked havoc on the proceedings. In spite of the numerous rain delays the show went on and several matches went to completion before day’s end; however, many were rescheduled for today.   
Of the many standout matches on the betting cards today, two in particular loom compelling: Tsonga vs. De Bakker and Soderling vs. Montanes.
The big-serving duo of Tsonga and Soderling are naturally the hot favourites in their respective clashes. Tsonga is a solid 1/2 bet over De Bakker, listed at 6/4; meanwhile, Sod-man is a hot 1/5 bet over Montanes, tipped at a large 10/3.
Tsonga started his tournament slowly, needing five sets to dispense with an unheralded Daniel Brands but before Tsonga fans could get overly concerned, he came up big against countryman Ouanna, beating  him in straight sets 6-0, 6-1, 6-4.
Cleaned up his act he did and in good time because next up is De Bakker, an up-and-coming Dutchman that surprised Tsonga in Barcelona a few weeks back. A small matter of revenge?
De Bakker finished as the world No.1 Junior in 2006. He has been struggling to transcend the barrier between junior and ATP level play and only recently, has begun to show signs of finding his stride.
Lifetime, Tsonga and De Bakker are 1-1. Certainly, De Bakker can give Tsonga something to think about. The tipping question: Can he upset him though again, this time before a partisan crowd?
Soderling is carrying on in a lofty manner in Paris. In two rounds, Soderling has been downright miserly on the scoreline, dropping but five games in his first match and a further two in his second.
It isn’t therefore surprising bookies favour him so strongly over Montanes and more likely than not, Soderling will come through on his odds.
Soderling has something to prove in Paris – he wants to show last year wasn’t a one-off. He is still a long way from the finish line so neither he nor his fans can get ahead of themselves. What he can do is get ahead of Montanes though. There is little to suggest Montanes has the wherewithal to upset him. Not when the Swede is in a frightfully stingy mood.
