ATP French Open 1/8-Finals
Norrie – Djokovic: 02.06.2025 14:00 CEST
H2H: 0-5
Cameron Norrie has won four of his last five matches. This week in Paris, he won the third-round match against Fearnley in straight sets. Last season at the French Open, the Brit lost against Kotov in the opening round.
Novak Djokovic has won seven straight 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. Djokovic won all three matches in straight sets this week in Paris. In the third round, he easily won against Misolic in straight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Djokovic is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Norrie had a favourable draw this week and made the most of it. However, Djokovic is a way better clay-court player than Norrie, and we expect him to dominate today.
That being said, Djokovic covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Novak Djokovic +7.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365
Bublik – Draper: 02.06.2025 16:00 CEST
H2H: 1-2
Alexander Bublik has won four of his last five matches. This week in Paris, Bublik easily defeated Duckworth in the first round in straight sets. In the second round, the Kazakh turned the match around against de Minaur and upset the ninth seed in five sets. Rocha had no answer for Bublik’s game in the third round.
Jack Draper has won four of his last five matches. The Brit dominated this season on clay. This week in Paris, Draper won the opening round match against Bellucci in four sets. After losing the opening set 3-6, Draper turned the match around. In the second round, he defeated Monfils in four tight sets. Fonseca had no answer for Draper’s game in the third round.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Draper is the big favourite in this matchup, and we partially agree. However, Bublik is a great server, and we expect him to keep this match tighter than the bookies think.
That being said, Bublik covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Alexander Bublik +7.5 games handicap @1.73 @bet365
Sinner – Rublev: 02.06.2025 20:15 CEST
H2H: 6-3
Jannik Sinner has won four of his last five matches. This week in Paris, Sinner won all three matches in straight sets. In the third round, Sinner demolished Lehecka in straight sets. Last season in Paris, the Italian lost against Alcaraz in the semifinals.
Andrey Rublev has won four of his last five matches. This week in Paris, Rublev has had a favourable draw so far. Fils withdrew from the third-round match against Ruble due to an injury.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Sinner is the big favourite in this matchup, and we partially agree. However, Rublev is a solid clay-court player and a top-15 player. We expect him to put up a big fight and keep this match tight.
That being said, Rublev covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Andrey Rublev +8.5 games handicap @1.73 @bet365
