ATP French Open qualifiers quarterfinals
Coric – Droguet: 20.05.2025 10:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Borna Coric has won five straight matches. His last match was in Aix en Provence two weeks ago, where he won the Challenger title on clay, defeating Wawrinka in the final in three tight sets. Last season in Paris, Gasquet defeated Coric in the opening round.
Titouan Droguet has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Tunis, Droguet played on clay at the Challenger tournament, losing against Piros in the final. He has never qualified for the main draw tournament at the French Open.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Coric is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is in solid form and has tons of experience playing at the Grand Slam level. We believe he will soon return to his best level and return to the top 50 in the rankings. We expect him to dominate in the qualifying tournament and win easily.
That being said, Coric winning in straight sets is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Borna Coric winning 2-0 @1.73 @bet365
Harris – Evans: 20.05.2025 13:00 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Billy Harris has lost four of his last five matches. Last week in Bordeaux, the Brit lost against Griekspoor in the second round in straight sets. He has never qualified for the main draw tournament at the French Open.
Daniel Evans has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Bordeaux, Evans lost in straight sets in the final qualifying round against Zapata Miralles. He has never made it past the second round at the French Open.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, this will be an almost 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Both players hate playing on clay. However, Evans is in terrible form, so we expect Harris to be a better player and win the opening qualifying round.
That being said, Harris winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Billy Harris winning @1.73 @bet365
Cilic – Wu: 20.05.2025 16:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Marin Cilic has lost three of his last five matches. His last match was almost a month ago, where he lost against Gigante in the opening round of the Challenger tournament. Since then, Cilic prepared for the French Open. In his last appearance at the French Open, Cilic reached the semifinals.
Yibing Wu has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Oeiras, Wu lost in straight sets in the quarterfinals of the Challenger tournament against Krueger. This will be his second appearance in Paris. He has never made it past the opening round.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Cilic is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is one of the most experienced players in the draw. On the other hand, Wu has never succeeded on clay courts. Cilic will dominate this match from the start until the end and win easily.
That being said, Cilic winning in straight sets is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Marin Cilic winning 2-0 @2.20 @bet365
