The first week of action at the French Open rolls on at Roland Garros, though there's not really much mystery on the men's side. With tennis superstar Carlos Alcaraz sidelined with a wrist injury, it feels like a long shot that anyone can defeat current world No. 1 Jannik Sinner. The tournament's top seed won his first-round match in straight sets Tuesday. He's heavily favored to win the French - which would give the 24-year-old a career Grand Slam.

In addition to Alcaraz, Sinner's main rival, being out, top 10 players Daniil Medvedev and Taylor Fritz were surprise losers in the first round at Roland Garros. No. 2 seed Alexander Zverev could be a challenge, and 39-year-old Novak Djokovic is still a factor as the No. 3 seed. Djokovic has won a record 24 majors, including the French three times.

In the latest odds on DraftKings, Sinner is a crazy -370 to win the tourney. Zverev is next at +1000, followed by Djokovic at +1300. So…
