The greatest mark in sports history? Despite having hung up his racket, the Bull from Mallorca is ahead of active players in betting odds for the Paris Grand Slam • Dreaming of a comeback?
Extraordinary. One of the greatest achievements in sports history in terms of dominance is undoubtedly Rafael Nadal’s 14 victories at Roland Garros. How significant is the mark he left in Paris? The betting agencies tell the story.
It turns out that the Bull from Mallorca’s name is still included in the betting odds tables for winning his favorite Grand Slam – and he’s positioned seventh among the favorites. As a reminder, Nadal officially retired from tennis last month, but that doesn’t prevent some bettors from thinking that if he were to make a comeback, it would end in a dream fashion.
But the surprise doesn’t end there. According to the agencies, the Spaniard is ahead of active players from the world’s top ranks, including Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev, and Holger Rune. By the way, Carlos Alcaraz tops the list, followed by Jannik Sinner, and Novak Djokovic in third.
