One of the top tennis tournaments in France is undoubtedly the French Open, which is part of the four Grand Slam events. Amongst the next most popular event – even in terms of tennis betting – is the BNP Paris Masters, which was first held in 1968. AccorHotels Arena has been the venue for the tournament throughout its history.

Key Details

The 2016 BNP Paris Masters will be held at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy from 29th October to November 6. This indoor hardcourt tournament is accompanied by several tennis betting tips due to its popularity amongst fans and punters alike.

Prize Money

A total prize money of just over €3.7 million ensures that the BNP Paris Masters takes its place as one of the top tennis events in the world.

Favourites

It is part of the ATP World Tour Masters http://oddsdigger.com/bet/atp 1000. Unlike in the case of other French tournaments, the BNP Paris Masters has not been dominated by tennis stars from the United States and Serbia especially in terms of the singles tournament.

The BNP Paribas Masters 2016 betting tips do not predict a major difference in this trend. The likes of Boris Becker and Pete Sampras have managed to win the title on more than one occasion.

In recent times, however, there has been domination of one kind – Novak Djokovic. The Serbian has been in imperious form in the last couple of years. He has won the title in consecutive years since the 2013 season.

The BNP Paribas Masters has traditionally been played as the end of season tournament, and the 2016 edition will be no different. Even with one eye on the upcoming Australian Open 2017, tennis odds expect Djokovic to be a favourite for the event. In the past three seasons, he has overcome David Ferrer, Milos Raonic, and Andy Murray.

The latter is expected to make an impact this time around. Murray has never won the BNP Paribas Masters; in fact, the last Brit to have been successful in this tournament was Tim Henman in 2003. Tennis predictions expect the 2016 Wimbledon champion to have an impact at this upcoming event. He enters the tournament as the second seed and is closely followed by Stan Wawrinka.

Doubles

The pair of Ivan Dodig and Marcelo Melo are the defending champions in the doubles game. They successfully ended the dominance of the Bryan brothers in the 2015 edition. Bet online odds will not be offered for Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, as they are the two most prominent withdrawals.

2016 Confirmed Contestants

Novak Djokovic was 2015's top seed, but this year's tournament in Paris is going to get an all-star field - mostly because everyone will be healthy. There is only one major singles competition left in the season, so everyone will probably be here.
