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:
Grigor Dimitrov vs Jannik Sinner
Sinner and Over 34.5 Games @5/4
Sinner showed a bit of vulnerability against Moutet, failing to avoid falling into some of the Frenchman’s traps. His groundstrokes weren’t really packing the usual punch on the day either and it will be interesting to see if that was just a momentary slip. Maybe Dimitrov can feel like he has a chance now and while not as creatively as Moutet did, he will also be hoping to neutralize the power of Sinner with his backhand slice. But if the Italian is hitting well, this can go awry for Dimitrov very quickly.
Carlos Alcaraz vs Stefanos Tsitsipas
Alcaraz and over 35.5 Games @13/10
Tsitsipas has never beaten Alcaraz in five meetings and it does feel like a bit of a now or never scenario. After all, the Greek has been perhaps the best player of the clay season so far. Has Alcaraz managed to rediscover his game and fitness this week already? He’s looked fine and probably deserves to be the favorite here, but it won’t be as lop-sided as their clash at this very stage of Roland Garros last year.
Iga Swiatek vs Marketa Vondrousova
Swiatek 2-0 @2/7
Yes, Osaka played a phenomenal match to almost take Swiatek out of the tournament in the second round. But that doesn’t change anything regarding her outright favorite status, outside of maybe adding some intrigue to her potential clash with Rybakina or Sabalenka. But we’re not quite there yet and the Pole should keep cruising. Not in 40 minutes like vs Potapova, but Vondrousova hasn’t been a tough matchup for her either.
Coco Gauff vs Ons Jabeur
Jabeur ML @10/3
Coco Gauff hasn’t been the same player this year as last year. And while Jabeur hasn’t, either, her comfort on natural surfaces is hard to match. This will be a tough grinder of a match, and we think Jabeur’s craftiness around the court will win out in the end.
