The French Open second round on May 28 features several closely contested clay-court battles in Paris. Vit Kopriva and Martin Landaluce both survived marathon opening matches, but the Czech may hold a slight edge under pressure. Francisco Comesana will look to continue his strong head-to-head success against Luciano Darderi, while Felix Auger-Aliassime faces a potentially dangerous test against in-form Argentine Roman Andres Burruchaga after escaping a five-set thriller in the first round.
ATP French Open 1/32-Finals
Landaluce – Kopriva: 28.05.2026 12:30 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Martin Landaluce has won four of his last five matches. This week in Paris, the Spaniard outlasted Prado Angelo in the opening round in five tight sets after playing for almost five hours.
Vit Kopriva has lost three of his last five matches. The Czech outlasted Moutet in the opening match in five tight sets after playing for almost five hours. Last season in Paris, Kopriva lost to Altmaier in the second round.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Kopriva is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He had a tougher opening match. Landaluce struggled under pressure, which could be crucial in this matchup.
That being said, Kopriva winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Vit Kopriva winning @1.73 @bet365
Comesana – Darderi: 28.05.2026 14:30 CEST
H2H: 2-0
Francisco Comesana has won four of his last five matches. This week at the French Open, Comesana defeated Quinn in three tight sets in the opening round. He saved a set point in the second set. In the third set, the Argentine trailed 1-4, but turned it around.
Luciano Darderi has won three of his last five matches. The Italian defeated Ofner in the opening match in straight sets. He was solid under pressure, saving nine out of eleven breakpoints.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Comesana is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He leads 2-0 in head-to-head meetings against Darderi and played well under pressure in the opening match. We expect him to keep this match close.
That being said, Comesana covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Francisco Comesana +4.5 games handicap @1.91 @bet365
Auger-Aliassime – Burruchaga: 28.05.2026 16:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Felix Auger-Aliassime has lost three of his last five matches. The Canadian outlasted Altmaier in the opening match in five tight sets. He trailed 1-2, but turned it around. In the deciding set, Auger-Aliassime trailed 1-4 in the deciding set, but turned it around.
Roman Andres Burruchaga has lost three of his last five matches. Baez retired mid-match against Burruchaga after losing 0-2 in the fourth set. Last season in Paris, the Argentine failed to qualify for the main draw of the tournament.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Auger-Aliassime is the clear favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. He was on the verge of losing in the opening match. On the other hand, Burruchaga is in solid form and enjoys playing on clay. We expect Burruchaga to keep this match close.
That being said, Burruchaga covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Roman Andres Burruchaga +4.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365
