Taylor Fritz Betting Preview

Taylor Fritz is coming off a 5 set win over Frances Tiafoe that took 49 games to decide. In the victory, Fritz won 75 percent of his first serve points and 65 percent of his second serve points. Fritz won 71 percent of his total service points and converted on 6 of his 11 break points. Fritz got 58 percent of his first serves in play and hit 42 winners. Fritz has played 13 sets of tennis in his last 3 matches and nearly 7 hours of tennis in his last 2 matches alone, so conditioning could be a factor in this match for the American. With that said, Fritz is 4-1 in his last five 5 set matches. 

Fritz looks to win his first grand slam title, his third title this year and the ninth title of his career. Fritz is 8-6 in career final appearances and 5-5 in final trips on hard court. Four of Fritz’s titles have come in the United States. Fritz has 25 career wins over top-10 players, and 6 of those wins have come this year. Two of those wins have come in this tournament (Ruud and Zverev). Fritz has won 7 of his last 9 matches on hard court.

Jannik Sinner vs Taylor Fritz H2H

The previous two meetings have been split, as Fritz won 2021 Indian Wells in straight sets and Sinner won 2023 Indian Wells in 3 sets. This will obviously be the third meeting on hard court.

Jannik Sinner vs Taylor Fritz Prediction

Sinner should be favored in this match, considering he was probably the guy to beat from the beginning. However, the price is kind of nuts. Sinner has found ways to win recent matches, but he has yet to put together great performances, and that includes a combined 72 unforced errors in his last two matches. Sinner had serious trouble with his forehand in the semifinal, he was just able to outlast Draper physically, who was throwing up throughout the match. Fritz will have windows where he can take advantage of a sloppy Sinner, and of course that serve gives him an even stronger punchers chance. There’s also the home crowd, which gives Fritz even more of a shot.

Assuming Fritz doesn’t break down due to the amount of tennis he’s played in his last three matches, this is a winnable match. Give me the American and a chance to make three times my money.

Jannik Sinner Betting Preview

Jannik Sinner is coming off a 4 set win over Daniil Medvedev that took 32 games to decide. In the victory, Sinner won 76 percent of his first serve points and 61 percent of his second serve points. Sinner won 69 percent of his total service points and converted on 5 of his 15 break points. Sinner got 53 percent of his first serves in play and hit 31 winners. Sinner absolutely dominated the match, losing a combined 7 games in the 3 sets he won, and he’s dropped just 2 sets this tournament.

Sinner looks to make his second career grand slam final appearance, and he’s 1-2 in grand slam semifinal matches. Sinner looks to make his sixth final appearance of the year and his 20th career final appearance overall. A win here would give Sinner 13 final appearances since February of last year. Sinner has won 10 straight matches on hard court.

Jack Draper Betting Preview

Jack Draper is coming off a straight set win over Alex De Minaur that took 29 games to decide. In the victory, Draper won 84 percent of his first serve points and 49 percent of his second serve points. Draper won 69 percent of his total service points and converted on 6 of his 20 break points. Draper got 56 percent of his first serves in play and hit 40 winners. Draper has yet to drop a set this tournament, and he’s the only player in the remaining field who can say that. At 22 years old, Draper should be fresh, but he did receive a medical timeout in the quarterfinals and had his leg wrapped, which is something to watch early.

Draper has a chance to make his first career grand slam final and his fourth career final appearance overall. With final trips at the Adelaide International and Stuttgart Open, a win here would give Draper 3 final appearances this year. Draper has 4 career wins over top-10 players, and 2 of those wins have come this year. Draper has won 8 of his last 9 matches on hard court.

Jannik Sinner vs Jack Draper H2H

Draper won the only match against Sinner, which was 2021 London. The match was decided in straight sets and 26 games. Draper won the combined tiebreaks by a score of 15-8. Obviously this will be the first meeting on hard court.

Jannik Sinner vs Jack Draper Prediction

Draper is going to have some confidence entering this match considering he hasn’t lost a set and beat Sinner a couple of years ago. Draper also has nothing to lose because nobody expected him to be here in the first place. You can talk yourself into a chance to make 4 times your money. The problem is Draper doesn’t do anything special that’s going to scare Sinner, the best player in the world who does everything at an above average level. Draper would have to serve out of his mind and have to work long rallies, something he doesn’t want to do. There’s also the experience factor, and who knows how Draper handles this moment. There’s a lot going against Draper in this match.

While I’d love to be wrong and see a competitive match, Sinner should make quick work of this contest. Give me Sinner in straight sets.

Taylor Fritz is coming off a 4 set win over Alexander Zverev that took 45 games to decide. In the victory, Fritz won 81 percent of his first serve points and 53 percent of his second serve points.

Tiafoe won 70 percent of his total service points and converted on 6 of his 14 break points. Tiafoe got 50 percent of his first serves in play and hit 26 winners. Tiafoe played three hours of tennis and didn’t have to finish the match due to Dimitrov retiring 5 games into the fourth set. Tiafoe has played a lot of tennis to get here, so the extra day of rest should help. Tiafoe has won 8 of his last 11 matches that have gone longer than three sets.

Tiafoe looks for his first grand slam final appearance, and he lost his only other semifinal trip in the 2022 US Open. Tiafoe looks for his third final appearance of the year and the 10th of his career. Tiafoe has never made three final appearances in a single year. Tiafoe has won 9 of his last 10 matches on hard court.

Taylor Fritz vs Frances Tiafoe H2H

Fritz has won 6 of the last 7 matches against Tiafoe and each of the last 6 overall. Tiafoe’s only win over Fritz was in 2016 Indian Wells. The most recent match was 2023 Acapulco, which Fritz won in straight sets. Four of the 7 matches were decided in straight sets. The only other match in a major was 2022 Australian Open, which Fritz won in straight sets as well. Every previous match was on hard court.

Taylor Fritz vs Frances Tiafoe Prediction

Taylor Fritz is the rightful favorite given his game is more consistent, his serve is more reliable, and he’s absolutely dominated the H2H. Six straight wins, and a lot of those matches were one-sided. Fritz should win. However, this is New York where Tiafoe plays his best tennis and plays to the crowd better than Fritz. The crowd should be neutral given its two Americans, but Tiafoe does do a better job of working the people, while Fritz is more introverted and just plays his game. If things get tense and the crowd gets rowdy, it can flip things for Tiafoe and even make Fritz a little uncomfortable.

Again, Fritz should win, but there’s value with Tiafoe and a chance to make two times your money. I’ll take Tiafoe at this price.

Djokovic played a little over 2 hours in the second round due to Djere retiring early in the third set. Djokovic has played less than four and a half hours of tennis to get to this point.

Djokovic has won 6 of his last 7 matches on hard court.

Alexei Popyrin vs Novak Djokovic H2H

Djokovic has won all three matches against Popyrin, including the most recent match this year in Wimbledon, which was decided in 4 sets. The other meetings were 2019 Tokyo (straight sets) and 2024 Australian Open (4 sets). 

Alexei Popyrin vs Novak Djokovic Prediction

Popyrin has a shot in this match considering his play over the last few weeks, which includes a Canadian title. Popyrin was also competitive against Djokovic in past meetings, and Novak better get his first serve in play at a higher percentage if he hopes to make a title push. With that said, experience and track record matters. Djokovic nearly never loses early in a grand slam, while Popyrin is 0-6 in grand slam third round matches. At some point, you have to show me something before I can put my money on you.

Give me Djokovic in 4 sets.

Ben Shelton vs Frances Tiafoe H2H

Shelton won both matches against Tiafoe. The matches were the 2023 US Open, which lasted 4 sets and 2024 Houston, which was decided in 3 sets.

Ben Shelton vs Frances Tiafoe Prediction

This is a hell of a third round match and the atmosphere should be nuts in New York. I’m not mad at Tiafoe and the plus money based on his success at the US Open over the years. However, Shelton is the rightful favorite and should be the pick. Shelton has been more consistent with his shot making and his service game overall. Tiafoe has had some spotty games here and there, and that includes facing 13 break points already. Shelton is playing the cleaner tennis, and getting the better of Tiafoe through two matches doesn’t hurt either. Shelton hit 50 winners against Tiafoe in New York last year, and his power gives him control of a lot of these points.

Still, this will be one of the highlights of the tournament and is a must-watch. I’ll side with Shelton.

Tiafoe has won 8 of his last 10 matches on hard court.

Jannik Sinner vs Frances Tiafoe H2H

Sinner has won 3 of the 4 matches against Tiafoe, including the most recent match in 2023 Vienna. Tiafoe’s only win over Sinner was 2021 Vienna. Only one of the four matches was decided in straight sets.

Jannik Sinner vs Frances Tiafoe Prediction

Sinner is the rightful favorite as he’s flexing his muscle as the best player in the world, he owns the H2H, and he has far and away more big match experience. However, we’re getting nearly three times our money with Tiafoe. One, Tiafoe isn’t the same player he was a couple of years ago, and three of the matches were in 2021 or later. Tiafoe also plays some of his best tennis on the biggest stages or when he has the crowd behind him. That’s the case here.

Will Sinner win? Probably. But I do want to take a shot in the dark with Tiafoe at these odds. On US soil, he’s a live dog.

Medvedev has won 6 of the 11 matches against Sinner, but he’s lost each of the last 5 meetings. Sinner beat Medvedev this year in Miami in straight sets. Medvedev hasn’t beat Sinner since 2023 Miami. Five of the 11 matches were decided in straight sets. This will be the first match on grass.

Jannik Sinner vs Daniil Medvedev Wimbledon Prediction

Sinner is favored because he’s been the guy to beat in this tournament from the start, and he hasn’t shown much for that to change. I get it. However, in terms of value, you can make a case for Medvedev and a chance to make more than three times your money. Medvedev has looked good out there, and he’s hitting his spots with confidence. Medvedev also hasn’t had to play much tennis to get to this point, so fitness shouldn’t be an issue. Also, while Sinner has won the last 5 matches against Medvedev, let’s not forget it was Medvedev who won the first 6 matches against the Italian. Sinner should be favored, but I’ll take a shot with the big plus money and Medvedev.

Carlos Alcaraz vs Tommy Paul Wimbledon Prediction

Alcaraz is going to get the benefit of the doubt because he’s Alcaraz. With that said, it’s fair to say Paul has played the better tennis this tournament, and he’s been ridiculous on grass this year overall. Paul also has the confidence knowing he’s beat Alcaraz twice, and he’s been competitive even in losses. Alcaraz is piling up the unforced errors, and he had serving issues in his last match. This is a winnable match for Paul, and the fact we’re getting three times our money… Give me Paul based on the value.

Alexander Zverev vs Carlos Alcaraz H2H

Zverev has won 5 of the 9 matches against Alcaraz, but it was the Spaniard who won the most recent match this year in Indian Wells. Zverev won the other match this year in the Australian Open. Zverev beat Alcaraz in the 2022 French Open, but Alcaraz won 2 of the 3 matches on clay overall. Six of the nine matches were decided in straight sets.

Alexander Zverev vs Carlos Alcaraz Prediction

I’ve picked against Zverev a few times in this tournament, and he’s made me look foolish, so I wouldn’t be shocked if that happens again. However, what’s picking against him one more time going to hurt? As well as Zverev has played up to this point, he has had issues on the big stage, particularly against highly rated players. And while he may be changing the narrative a bit, I’m not ready to say he’s a new man. Alcaraz has positioned himself to become the new king of clay, and it does feel like he beat the biggest threat left in Sinner. Alcaraz has won two of the three matches against Zverev on clay, and he’s just more comfortable on this surface from a movement standpoint.

Zverev and decent sized plus money is attractive, but I’m rolling with the Spaniard to win his first French Open title. Give me Alcaraz in 4 sets.

Casper Ruud vs Alexander Zverev Prediction

Zverev got needed rest after playing a ton of tennis in previous matches. However, Ruud is as fresh as ever after not having to play since Monday. Ruud comfortably beat Zverev in this same spot last year. Ruud has won the last two matches against Zverev, including a win in these conditions. It’s going to come down to how consistent Zverev is serving, as he’s been dominant at times, but he did have issues in the quarterfinals. Like the first semifinal match, this has a chance to be a long, physical match. The value is with Ruud and the even money.

Only three of the matches were decided in straight sets.

Carlos Alcaraz vs Jannik Sinner Prediction

You can make a case for either player, as both Sinner and Alcaraz have been fabulous this year, and in this tournament in particular. Sinner and the plus money probably is the better value play. However, I just trust Alcaraz more on this surface and these conditions. Alcaraz is at his best on clay, and he seems to be getting stronger each match. Sinner doesn’t look as comfortable on clay in terms of movement, and he has piled up the unforced errors in recent matches.

Again, this is expected to be a long, competitive match. I’m still rolling with Alcaraz. Give me Alcaraz in a classic 5 setter.

Alexander Zverev vs Alex De Minaur Prediction

On paper, Zverev should win this match as he’s the more talented player, has dominated the H2H and has far more experience in these situations. However, Zverev is dealing with personal issues, and he’s played a ton of tennis over the last two matches. Is fatigue going to catch up to Zverev? We know De Minaur is going to make him run. There’s value with De Minaur and a chance to make two times your money.

I’ll take a shot with De Minaur at this price.

Alcaraz has won all 5 meetings against Tsitsipas, which includes a straight set win at least year’s French Open. The last three matches were on clay and Alcaraz beat Tsitsipas 7-1 in sets. The first match back in the 2021 US Open was the most competitive, as that match went five sets and lasted more than four hours.

Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Carlos Alcaraz Prediction

Tsitsipas at this price is attractive, knowing what he’s capable of when he’s at the peak of his powers. The problem is Tsitsipas has had trouble figuring out Alcaraz, and this doesn’t seem like the surface where that’s going to change. If Tsitsipas gets off to a sluggish start, those doubts from previous matches are going to come into play as well. On paper, this is a must-watch match with two stars on the men’s side, but there’s a lot pointing toward Alcaraz rolling to the semifinals.

Give me Alcaraz in 4 sets.

Sinner has won 3 of the 4 matches against Dimitrov, including a straight set win this year in Miami. Dimitrov’s only win over Sinner came in 2020 Rome, which was a 3 set victory and the only match on clay. Two of the four matches overall went the distance.

Grigor Dimitrov vs Jannik Sinner Prediction

Sinner is going to be favored for obvious reasons, as he’s had the better season and is the better player at this stage when they’re both at the top of their game. Dimitrov has been spotty on this surface recently, and he can pile up the unforced errors from time to time. With that said, Dimitrov did beat Sinner on clay once and has pushed him in other matches. Dimitrov is no stranger to beating quality players over his lengthy career, and his ability to win all of the big points in the fourth round against a respectable opponent provides confidence heading into this match.

Sinner should be favored and probably should win, but there’s value with Dimitrov and the big plus money. I’ll take a stab with Dimitrov at this price.

Alexander Zverev vs Holger Rune H2H

Rune beat Zverev in their only meeting, which was 2022 Munich. The match was decided in straight sets and 17 games.

Alexander Zverev vs Holger Rune Prediction

Rune is a more than respectable opponent in the underdog role and will have some confidence knowing he’s already beat Zverev. Rune is also comfortable on clay and has been a contender in the French Open the last couple of years. The problem is, Rune hasn’t played his best tennis over the last couple of months, and it’s asking a lot for him to flip the switch against one of the best in the world right now. Zverev is as hot as anybody on the men’s side, and it’s going to take a lot to cool him down.

This has a chance to be a long, competitive match, but I’ll take Zverev in 4 sets.

Ruud has two wins over Fritz, as he won 2022 Turin in 3 sets and a 2023 exhibition in the United Arab Emirates that was one set and decided in 7 games. This will be the first match on clay.

Taylor Fritz vs Casper Ruud Prediction

Fritz doesn’t love clay court and is going up against Ruud, who has made the final of the French Open the last two years. Not ideal for the American. Fritz also played with his food in the third round after winning the first two sets and still going 5 sets and nearly four hours. Ruud is going to make Fritz run, and fatigue is sure to play a roll.

This is a reasonable match for Ruud to make his third straight French Open final. Give me Ruud in four sets.

Novak Djokovic vs Francisco Cerundolo H2H

There’s no match history between Djokovic and Cerundolo.

Novak Djokovic vs Francisco Cerundolo Prediction

Cerundolo will be able to make things competitive if he continues to get a high number of first serves in play, and he’s been terrific on clay this year. It’s going to be interesting to see how Djokovic responds after playing so late and a long, physical match in the third round. We can’t forget Djokovic is now 37 years old. With all that said, Djokovic just showed he’s still capable of digging deep and finding a way to win even if he’s not at his best. There’s also a Grand Canyon size gap in experience on these stages. Cerundolo has only made it this far once in grand slam play, and we’ve seen Djokovic chew up and spit out inexperienced players like this for the last two decades.

I’ll take Djokovic in straight sets to shave down the juice.

Medvedev has hit 20 aces in his last two matches, and he’s going to be a tough out if he continues to rack up the free points.

Medvedev has won 5 of his last 6 matches on clay court.

Alex De Minaur vs Daniil Medvedev H2H

Medvedev has won 6 of the 8 matches against De Minaur, which includes winning the most recent match in 2023 Beijing. De Minaur’s last win over Medvedev came in 2023 Toronto. Four of the 8 matches were decided in straight sets. All 8 matches were played on hard court.

Alex De Minaur vs Daniil Medvedev Prediction

De Minaur has had some success against Medvedev, and I would think he’d have an even better chance on clay. De Minaur should also be prepared for this match after facing similar power in Struff. With that said, Medvedev has more ways to win this match, and he’s improved his ace total through his first 3 matches. If Medvedev is going to pile up the free points, it just puts more pressure on De Minaur. We’re also entering the business end of the tournament, and Medvedev just has more experience and success on these stages.

Should be a competitive match, but I’ll take Medvedev in 4 sets.

Alcaraz won 71 percent of his total service points and converted on 4 of his 12 break points. Alcaraz got 78 percent of his first serves in play and saved 1 of 3 break points.

Alcaraz looks to make his eighth career grand slam quarterfinal and his third straight at the French Open. Alcaraz has won 6 of his last 7 matches on clay court.

Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Carlos Alcaraz H2H

Auger-Aliassime has won 3 of the 5 matches against Alcaraz, but has lost the last 2 meetings. The most recent match was 2024 Indian Wells, a much Alcaraz won in straight sets. Auger-Aliassime’s last win over Alcaraz came in 2022 Basel. This will be the first match on clay court.

Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Carlos Alcaraz Prediction

Alcaraz should be the comfortable favorite for obvious reasons, but history shows that Auger-Aliassime can hang in this match. Auger-Aliassime beat Alcaraz in each of the first 3 meetings, and that includes a Davis Cup match where he lost the first set. Auger-Aliassime has played well through 3 matches, he’s comfortable on this surface, and Alcaraz wasn’t as sharp in his third round victory. This feels like it could be a long fourth round match with some interesting games. 

I like Alcaraz to win, but I’d take the over 33.5 games, expecting the Canadian to win a set.

Alexander Zverev Betting Preview

Alexander Zverev has positioned himself as one of the favorites to win the French Open, as he’s fresh off an Italian Open title. Zverev has won 8 of his last 9 matches overall, and 7 of those wins were decided in straight sets. Zverev has been serving out of his mind during this winning stretch and is going to be a tough out if that continues. Zverev has made the semifinals of the French Open in each of the last 3 years. Zverev and his 78 percent winning percentage at Roland-Garros is his best of any grand slam. Zverev hasn’t lost in the first round of a grand slam since 2019 Wimbledon. Zverev has won 6 straight matches on clay court.

Rafael Nadal Betting Preview

Rafael Nadal is coming off a second round exit in Rome, where he lost to Hubert Hurkacz in 16 games. Nadal has battled injuries over the last year and there are questions about how much longer he’s going to play. However, Nadal did mention he was feeling good health wise in Italy, so it will be interesting to see if that’s still the case. Of course, we know what Nadal is capable of when he’s right, especially on clay. Nadal is a 14-time winner of the French Open, and he has a 97 percent winning percentage at this tournament overall. Nadal has never lost in the first round of the French Open. Nadal hasn’t lost in the first round of a grand slam since the 2016 Australian Open. Nadal has won 5 of his last 8 matches on clay court.

Alexander Zverev vs Rafael Nadal H2H

Nadal has won 7 of the 10 matches against Zverev, which includes a win in the 2022 French Open, which Zverev retired before a second set tiebreak. Zverev’s last win over Nadal came in 2021 Madrid. Five of the matches came on clay, and Nadal has won 4 of those matches. Six of the completed matches were decided in straight sets.

Alexander Zverev vs Rafael Nadal Prediction

Zverev should be favored, as he’s playing better tennis right now. Zverev is serving out of his mind and is fresh off arguably the biggest tittle of his career. It feels like Zverev is finally starting to take that next step. Nadal hasn’t had consistent reps this year, he hasn’t proven himself lately against top tier players, and his serve has been spotty. This isn’t Nadal of old.

With all that said, it’s Nadal and the French Open, and I don’t care what he looks like. We’re getting three times our money with Nadal at Roland-Garros. Maybe it’s my heart making this pick, but I’ll still take a shot with Nadal at this price.
