Roland Garros will host the 2010 French Open in late May and early June, a tournament that should be won by Roger Federer.  His odds are long with Ladbrokes (MAXIMUMBONUS is your promotion code when registering) at +250 (5/2) and he's certainly on form for the Slam, having won last year and the most recent slam in Australia.

But even though Federer remains our top recommendation, in this article we're going to review some of the longshots that might do some damage in the tournament.  Everyone here is capable of winning the 2010 French Open and they all have odds of +1000 (10/1) or longer.

Andrew Murray +1200 (12/1; bet365)

Andrew Murray, despite being a top 5 player in the world, is not considered a serious threat for the 2010 French Open at Roland Garros.  The reason for that has nothing to do with his ranking nor his failure to win the 2010 Australian Open final.

Rather Murray does not have a lot of historical success at the French Open as last year's quarterfinal loss to Fernando Gonzalez was as close as the Scot has ever come to the final.  If there is reason to be optimistic, however, it is that Murray never had top level success at the Australian Open until this year so perhaps he can also make the scene in Paris as well.

Our recommendation with Murray: his odds of +1200 (12/1) with bet365 are a little too short to bet.  +1600 (16/1) or longer would be nice but not available at this time.

Gael Monfils +5000 (50/1; Stan James)

Gael Monfils has had some great success at the French Open in the past couple of years and the event is his best Slam.  Only Roger Federer has been able to eliminate Monfils at Roland Garros in the past two years as he made the semifinals in 2008 and the quarterfinals in 2009.

There is certainly a big difference between a Grand Slam winner and a Grand Slam semifinalist however there is also a big difference in the odds and Monfils does offer some value.  His true odds to win in Paris are probably closer to +3000 (30/1) and that means you can bet this player to win at longer odds.

Our recommendation with Monfils: sprinkle at +5000 with Stan James.

Robin Soderling +5000 (50/1; bet365)

Looking at the long odds for Soderling it almost feels as though someone has to tell these sportsbooks that Robin Soderling beat Rafael Nadal, Nikolay Davydenko, and Fernando Gonzalez at the French Open last year.  He is certainly an underachiever for titles on tour and he doesn't seem like he has what it takes to win a Slam but at +5000 (50/1) you would be happy to have a finalist from the previous year at such long odds.

Our recommendation with Soderling: sprinkle at +5000 with bet365.

Marin Cilic +5000 (50/1; bet365)

Cilic only made the 4th round last year at the French Open however he is finally blossoming as a major force on tour as evidenced by his Australian Open semifinal result from earlier this year.  At +5000 (50/1) there is also value with this young and improving player and our recommendation is to sprinkle him with bet365 and hope he continues to grow.

Other players with huge odds that might warrant some consideration are Fernando Gonzalez (+10000, 100/1; Stan James) and Juan Carlos Ferrero (+10000, 100/1; Stan James) although we are not recommending them as worthy longshots at this point.
