ATP French Open 1/64-Finals
Cilic – Cobolli: 27.05.2025 14:30 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Marin Cilic has lost three of his last five matches. He failed to qualify for the main draw tournament this week in Paris. However, several players withdrew from the tournament, so he entered it as a lucky loser.
Flavio Cobolli has won five straight matches. Last week in Hamburg, the young Italian surprised everyone by winning the ATP 500 tournament. In the final, Cobolli dominated against Rublev. Last season at the French Open, Cobolli lost in the second round against Rune.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Cilic is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He is one of the most experienced players in the draw. On the other hand, Cobolli will be emotionally exhausted after winning the tournament in Hamburg. We expect a tight match that could go either way.
That being said, Cilic covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Marin Cilic +3.5 games handicap @1.80 @bet365
McDonald – Djokovic: 27.05.2025 15:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Mackenzie McDonald has lost four of his last five matches. His last match was in Madrid over a month ago, when he retired mid-match against Kym in the qualifying tournament. He has never made it past the third round at the French Open.
Novak Djokovic has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Geneva, Djokovic won the title, defeating Hurkacz in the final in three tight sets. With that win, the Serb secured his 100th ATP title. Last season in Paris, Djokovic reached the quarterfinals.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Djokovic is the biggest favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He will be fully confident coming into this match. McDonald has not played any competitive matches for over a month. We expect Djokovic to dominate from the start until the end.
That being said, Djokovic covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Novak Djokovic -9.5 games handicap @1.73 @bet365
Bellucci – Draper: 27.05.2025 16:00 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Mattia Bellucci has lost five straight matches. So far this season, the Italian played nine clay court matches and lost six. His last match was in Rome, where he lost against Martinez in the opening round in straight sets.
Jack Draper has won three of his last five matches. His last match was in Rome, where he lost against Alcaraz in the quarterfinals. The Brit dominated this season on clay. Earlier this season, Draper reached the final in Madrid. He has never made it past the opening round at the French Open.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Draper is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is one of the most consistent players on tour. Bellucci is in terrible form, so we expect the Brit to dominate in this match.
That being said, Draper covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Jack Draper -8.5 games handicap @1.73 @bet365
