The 2024 Paris Olympics are slated to begin on Friday, July 26. The tennis competition within the event is set to commence on July 27 and continue till August 4, as players from different countries will compete against each other for the prestigious gold medals.
Young Spanish sensation Carlos Alcaraz is the frontrunner as the potential gold medallist in the men's singles event. As per ATS.io, he has +160 odds of ending up at the top of the podium. The tennis event in this year's Olympics will be held on the clay courts of Roland Garros, where the French Open is played. Alcaraz won this year's French Open and thus, he is in the pole position to capture the gold at the Games.

The World No. 3 is in great form as he backed his Roland Garros title with a second consecutive Wimbledon title earlier this month. His current form makes Alcaraz the firm favorite over everybody else for the gold medal at Paris Olympics.
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner is the second favorite for the gold medal with odds of +275. Sinner has had a phenomenal season in 2024, with a record of 42-4 and four titles, including the Australian Open. Although the Italian does not have a clay-court title in the season, he made it to the semi-finals of the French Open, losing to Alcaraz in a tense five-set battle.
World No. 2 and the 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic is the third favorite for the gold medal at Paris Olympics. The Serb has odds of +350 to win the Olympic gold, the one achievement missing from his glorious career. Djokovic is a three-time French Open champion, winning the title last year by defeating Casper Ruud in the final.
Apart from Carlos Alcaraz, Rafael Nadal is another Spanish favorite for gold at Paris Olympics 2024
Rafael Nadal could be playing his last season on the tour. The legendary Spanish player is coming back from injuries after missing most of the 2023 season. Nadal has played a handful of tournaments this season and is currently ranked 161. However, ATS.io has him as the fifth favorite to win the gold medal in Paris with odds of +900. He won the singles gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Nadal's record at Roland Garros is unparalleled in global sport. The Spanish icon has a win-loss record of 112-4 on the Parisian clay, with an unprecedented 14 French Open titles to his name. Overall, Nadal has 63 titles on clay with a win percentage of 91, making him one of the top favorites for the gold medal position. A run to the final of the recently concluded Swedish Open on clay also bodes well for the former World No. 1's chances.
This year's French Open runner-up Alexander Zverev is the fourth favorite for the gold at Paris Olympics, with odds of +500. Casper Ruud, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Holger Rune, Daniil Medvedev, and Alex de Minaur occupy the positions from the sixth favorite to the 10th.
