Iga Świątek to win the tournament
Iga Świątek has won twelve straight matches and two straight tournaments. Earlier this month, Iga lifted the title in Madrid, easily losing only two sets throughout the tournament. Last week in Rome, Iga dominated against everyone, including Sabalenka, in the final and lifted another trophy. Last year, Swiatek won here in Paris by defeating Muchova in the final. She has already won the French Open title three times in her young career. She loves to play in Paris, and we do not see anyone stopping her this year in Paris.
That being said, Swiatek winning the French Open is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Iga Świątek winning @1.58 @bet365
Alexander Zverev to win the tournament
Alexander Zverev has won six straight matches. Last week, Sascha lifted the title in Rome after beating Nicolas Jarry in straight sets. We all know how things went down when Zverev got injured against Nadal in the semifinals of the French Open two years ago. If he had not got injured, we believe that Zverev would have had a decent chance at winning the title. This year, Zverev is the fourth favorite to lift the title according to the bookies. Looking at the players above him, Carlos Alcaraz was injured as of late, and we are not sure how his body will keep up for the two full weeks. Novak Djokovic is the second favorite, but he is totally out of form and has yet to win the title at any level this year. Jannik Sinner is the third favorite, but his appearance at the French Open was also questionable due to an injury. Zverev did not get lucky with the draw as he will face Rafael Nadal in the first round. However, Nadal still does not look to be competitive in the best of five sets. We believe that his body will not survive the first match, so expect Zverev to come through. Looking at his opponents, we believe that Zverev is the fittest one and also in the best form out of all of them.
That being said, Zverev winning the French Open is a value bet.

Andrey Rublev to reach the quarterfinals
Andrey Rublev can be dangerous against anyone when he plays his best tennis. Earlier this month, Rublev surprisingly won the title in Madrid, defeating one of the best clay court players at the moment. En route to the final, Rublev won against Davidovich Fokina, Carlos Alcaraz, Taylor Fritz and some other solid clay court players. Looking at the draw, Rublev should be able to win his first three matches easily. Two years ago, Rublev reached the quarterfinals here in Paris. With other competitors being not fully fit, we believe that Andrey could go deep this week. Looking at the odds, we have great plus odds, and we believe that Andrey should not be such an underdog at reaching the quarterfinals.
That being said, Rublev reaching the quarterfinals is a value bet.
