ATP French Open 1/32-Finals
Tabilo – Popyrin: 28.05.2025 11:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Alejandro Tabilo has won three of his last five matches. This week in Paris, He won the opening-round match against Cazaux in five tight sets after spending almost four hours on the court. The Chilean offered no breakpoints in the deciding set and played well under pressure.
Alexei Popyrin has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Geneva, Popyrin had a decent run, reaching the quarterfinals. He eventually lost to Norrie in straight sets. This week at the French Open, Nishioka retired mid-match against him in the opening round. Last season, Popyrin lost against Kokkinakis in the opening round.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Popyrin is the favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. Tabilo is a clay-court specialist, and we expect him to put up a big fight tomorrow. He is a better clay-court player than Popyrin, and we expect a tight match.
That being said, Tabilo covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Alejandro Tabilo +3.5 games handicap @1.80 @bet365
Ruud – Borges: 28.05.2025 12:30 CEST

Nuno Borges has lost three of his last five matches. This week in Paris, Borges won the opening round in five tight sets after trailing 0-2. He spent almost four hours on the court.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Ruud is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is one of the best clay-court players in the world. Borges struggled against Jacquet in the opening round. On the other hand, Ruud dominated, and we expect him to dominate again.
That being said, Ruud winning in straight sets is a value bet.

Tiafoe – Carreno-Busta: 28.05.2025 16:00 CEST
H2H: 1-0

Pablo Carreno-Busta has lost three of his last five matches. This week at the French Open, the Spaniard defeated Comesana in the opening round in straight sets. He saved a set point in the second set.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Carreno-Busta is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He dominated in the opening round match against a solid clay-court player. On the other hand, Tiafoe never really succeeded at the French Open. We expect the Spaniard to keep this match tight.
That being said, Carreno-Busta covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Pablo Carreno-Busta +3.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365
