Roland Garros ATP: Thanasi Kokkinakis vs Pablo Carreno Busta

Platform comparison

Active sub-markets

Market context

Kokkinakis and Carreno Busta are scheduled to meet in the first or second round of Roland Garros in late May 2026, with the Australian ranked considerably lower than the Spaniard in the ATP standings. The 0% implied probability suggests strong market conviction that Kokkinakis will not advance, though the settlement window extends to early June to account for potential delays across the clay-court fortnight.

Carreno Busta has historically performed well at Roland Garros, reaching the semi-finals in 2017 and maintaining a winning record on clay throughout his career. Kokkinakis, by contrast, has struggled to translate his occasional hard-court form into consistent clay results, with limited deep runs at major clay tournaments. The disparity in Roland Garros pedigree and current ranking positions Carreno Busta as a clear favourite in most matchup scenarios.

Key variables for traders centre on fitness declarations and draw confirmation in the week before the tournament. Any withdrawal by either player would trigger a 50-50 resolution under the market rules, whilst a match postponement beyond 7 days without completion would similarly resolve neutral. Recent ATP scheduling announcements typically confirm first-round pairings by the Sunday before Roland Garros begins, giving traders a final window to reassess based on confirmed opponent form and any late injury news. Kokkinakis's recent tournament results and any coaching adjustments heading into the clay season will provide concrete signals closer to the settlement window.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.

Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.

How reliable are the quoted odds?

The YES/NO percentages are the live mid-prices of the Polymarket order book. On deep markets they move every few seconds; on thinner ones you'll see short plateaus.
