The French Open second round on May 29 features several in-form players looking to continue their strong runs in Paris. Jannik Sinner remains dominant on clay this season and appears set for another comfortable victory, while Flavio Cobolli’s consistency on the surface makes him a strong favourite against Yibing Wu. Meanwhile, Facundo Diaz Acosta could pose problems for Learner Tien thanks to his excellent form and natural clay-court game.
ATP French Open 1/64-Finals
Cobolli – Wu: 28.05.2026 11:00 CEST
H2H: 1-0
Flavio Cobolli has lost three of his last five matches. This week in Paris, the Italian defeated Pellegrino in the opening round in straight sets. Last season at the French Open, Cobolli lost to Zverev in the third round in straight sets.
Yibing Wu has won three of his last five matches. This week at the French Open, Wu defeated Giron in the opening round in straight sets. Last season in Paris, the Chinese failed to qualify for the main draw.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Cobolli is the clear favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He played well in the opening match and dominated on clay. On the other hand, Wu rarely succeeded on clay. We expect Cobolli to win comfortably.
That being said, Cobolli covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Flavio Cobolli -5.5 games handicap @1.80 @bet365
Diaz Acosta – Tien: 28.05.2026 11:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Facundo Diaz Acosta has won four of his last five matches. He entered the main draw at the French Open as a qualifier. In the opening main draw round, the Argentine defeated Zhang in straight sets.
Learner Tien has won five straight matches. Last week in Geneva, the American won the title, defeating Navone in the final. This week at the French Open, Tien defeated Garin in four sets in the opening round.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Diaz Acosta is the heavy underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He dominated in all four matches this week in Paris. The Argentine is a clay-court specialist, and we expect him to keep this match close.
That being said, Diaz Acosta covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Facundo Diaz Acosta +5.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365
Sinner – J.M.Cerundolo: 28.05.2026 12:00 CEST
H2H: 1-0
Jannik Sinner has won eighteen out of eighteen matches on clay this season. This week in Paris, Sinner defeated Tabur in the opening match in straight sets, not offering any breakpoints.
Juan Manuel Cerundolo has won six straight matches. This week in Paris, the Argentine defeated Fearnley in straight sets. He trailed 2-4 in the third set and saved one set point in the tiebreak.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Sinner is the clear favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is the best player in the world and is unbeatable. We expect him to dominate on his serve and break Cerundolo’s serve easily.
That being said, Sinner covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Jannik Sinner -10.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365
