French Open Tennis Betting Picks and Predictions Day 9

Roland Garros

Tennis Tips

 

The French Open, also known as Roland-Garros, is a major tennis tournament held over two weeks at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France, beginning in late May each year. The tournament and venue are named after the French aviator Roland Garros.

Main Picks:

Casper Ruud vs Taylor Fritz

Ruud ML @4/11

Fritz is a better clay-court player than he used to be, but beating Ruud is a big ask. The Norwegian is in great form at the tournament he loves so much. The American’s serve needs to be firing all the time for him to have a realistic chance.

 

Alex de Minaur vs Daniil Medvedev

Medvedev ML @4/7

Both players have significantly improved on clay in recent times. This will undoubtedly be a long and physical battle. The few extra free points Medvedev is capable of getting on his serve might be what decides the match.

 

Novak Djokovic vs Francisco Cerundolo

Djokovic 3-0 @1/1

Novak Djokovic had to play one of his best matches of the year to see through a peaking Lorenzo Musetti. Djokovic was looking out of sorts till the beginning of the 4th set, but raised his level at the right moment and ran away with it. This win will give him a lot of confidence. Francisco Cerundolo played a fantastic match to dispatch the in-form Tommy Paul. His forehand is a huge asset on clay and will be an important shot against Djokovic. The world No.1 is likely to come a bit exhausted to this match after his late 5-set finish. Fortunately for him, Cerúndolo isn’t a very good server, and he will have lots of chances to break.

 

Alexander Zverev vs  Holger Rune

Zverev ML @2/5

Both men have already played a match each that went to a deciding set tiebreak. At his best, Zverev’s game is the more deadly in the conditions in Paris. Rune needs to serve well and also use variety to disrupt the German’s rhythm when he can. But Zverev is the favourite to triumph.

 

Aryna Sabalenka vs Emma Navarro

Sabalenka 2-0 @4/5

Navarro defeated Sabalenka during the North American hard court season, and her excellent return and athleticism have the potential to cause the world No. 2 issues again. But Sabalenka is in much better form now. compared to a couple of months ago. She should be able to hit through Navarro this time if her level does not drop.

 

Varvara Gracheva vs Mirra Andreeva

Gracheva ML @7/2

This is a very tough match to call. Gracheva is on an amazing run and will have a vociferous home crowd behind her, while Andreeva lost just three games against Peyton Stearns in the last round. The support the local fans will give Gracheva could make the difference. Andreeva can be very temperamental and a crowd being loudly against her may not suit her at such an early stage of her career and development.

 

Elena Rybakina vs Elina Svitolina

Rybakina ML @3/10

This promises to be a very tough match for Rybakina. Svitolina’s forehand looks as good as it ever has, and the Ukrainian will feel like she can win a lot of the baseline exchanges. The difference may be Svitolina’s serve, which Rybakina can attack in the slow conditions in Paris. That makes the 2022 Wimbledon champion a slight favourite.
