When the French Open began, Jannik Sinner was one of the biggest favorites in a men's singles draw at a Grand Slam ever. Now that he lost in the second round to Juan Manuel Cerúndolo, the upset has made tennis history in two different ways. Sinner was -300 to win the French Open before the tournament, a rarely-seen pre-tournament 1-to-3 payout for a title. That means you would have had to bet $300 on Sinner to win $100.
