ATP French Open 1/32-Finals
Tabilo – Vacherot: 28.05.2026 14:30 CEST
H2H: 1-0
Alejandro Tabilo has won three of his last five matches. This week in Paris, the Chilean demolished Majchrzak in the opening match in straight sets. He offered and saved two breakpoints.
Valentin Vacherot has won three of his last five matches. This week at the French Open, Vacherot defeated Faurel in the opening round in four tight sets. He served well, hitting 15 aces.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Tabilo is the favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. Both players are great servers and have played well in the opening match. We expect them to hold their service games and possible tiebreaks.
That being said, over games is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: over 36.5 games @1.83 @bet365
Collignon – Shelton: 28.05.2026 16:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Raphael Collignon has won three of his last five matches. He dominated in the opening round against Vukic this week at the French Open. The Belgian saved three set points in the third set.
Ben Shelton has lost three of his last five matches. This week at the French Open, Shelton defeated Merida Aguilar in the opening round in straight sets. Last season in Paris, the American lost to Alcaraz in the fourth round in four tight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Collignon is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He is always a tricky opponent, especially on clay. If he serves well, we expect him to cover the games handicap.
That being said, Collignon covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Raphael Collignon +2.5 games handicap @1.91 @bet365
Rinderknech – Berrettini: 28.05.2026 20:15 CEST
H2H: 1-0
Arthur Rinderknech has won three of his last five matches. The Frenchman defeated Rodionov in the opening match in straight sets. He has never made it past the second round here in Paris.
Matteo Berrettini has lost three of his last five matches. The last time he played at the French Open was in 2021, when he lost to Djokovic in the quarterfinals. This week in Paris, Berrettini defeated Fucsovics in the opening round in four sets, after losing the opening set.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, this will be an almost 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Rinderknech was a more consistent player this season. With the help of the crowd, we expect him to defeat Berrettini.
That being said, Rinderknech winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Arthur Rinderknech winning @1.80 @bet365
