ATP French Open 1/64-Finals
Shapovalov – Martinez: 26.05.2025 14:30 CEST
H2H: 1-0
Denis Shapovalov has lost four of his last five matches. This has been a disappointing clay court season for the Canadian. His last match was in Rome, where Gaubas upset him in the opening round. Last season in Paris, Shapovalov lost in the third round against Hurkacz in four tight sets.
Pedro Martinez has lost four of his last five matches. Last week in Hamburg, the Spaniard lost against Cerundolo in the opening round in straight sets. Last season in Paris, Martinez lost against Rublev in the second round in straight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Martinez is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He is a solid clay-court player and always gives his best. On the other hand, Shapovalov has never succeeded on clay and has struggled this season. We expect a tight match that could go either way.
That being said, Martinez covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Pedro Martinez +4.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365
Giron – Griekspoor: 26.05.2025 16:00 CEST
H2H: 1-2
Marcos Giron has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Hamburg, Giron lost against Bautista-Agut in the opening round. He has never made it past the third round at the French Open. Last season, Giron lost in the opening round against Kovalik.
Tallon Griekspoor has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Bordeaux, Griekspoor reached the semifinals at the Challenger tournament, eventually losing against Basilashvili in straight sets. Last season in Paris, Griekspoor lost against Zverev in the third round.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Griekspoor is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is a better clay-court player than Giron. In their only head-to-head meeting on clay, Griekspoor won in straight sets. We expect a similar outcome tomorrow.
That being said, Griekspoor covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Tallon Griekspoor +5.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365
Sinner – Rinderknech: 26.05.2025 20:15 CEST
H2H: 2-1
Jannik Sinner has won four of his last five matches. Sinner played well in his first tournament after the doping ban, reaching the final in Rome. Last season in Paris, the Italian lost against Alcaraz in the semifinals.
Arthur Rinderknech has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Geneva, Rinderknech lost against Hurkacz in the 1/8-Finals. He has never made it past the second round at the French Open. Last season, the Frenchman lost against Etcheverry in the second round.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Sinner is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is among the biggest favourites to win the French Open this season. On the other hand, Rinderknech is out of form. We expect Sinner to dominate in his opening match and get the job done quickly.
That being said, Sinner covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Jannik Sinner -9.5 games handicap @1.91 @bet365
