ATP French Open Best Bets Including Monfils vs Draper

ATP French Open 1/32-Finals

Cobolli – Arnaldi: 29.05.2025 14:00 CEST
H2H: 1-3

Flavio Cobolli has won six straight matches. Last week in Hamburg, the young Italian surprised everyone by winning the ATP 500 tournament. In the final, Cobolli dominated against Rublev. This week in Paris, the Italian defeated Cilic in straight sets in the opening round. Last season at the French Open, Cobolli lost in the second round against Rune.

Matteo Arnaldi has won three of his last five matches. This week in Paris, Arnaldi turned the match around against Auger-Aliassime. After trailing 0-2, the Italian stepped up his level and turned the match around.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Cobolli is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is in great form and was fully confident in the opening round against Cilic. On the other hand, Arnaldi played almost five hours in the opening match. We expect Cobolli to be more rested and a better player tomorrow.

That being said, Cobolli winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Flavio Cobolli winning @1.67 @bet365

Shapovalov – Misolic: 29.05.2025 16:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Denis Shapovalov has lost three of his last five matches. This has been a disappointing clay court season for the Canadian. This week in Paris, Shapovalov easily defeated Martinez in straight sets in the opening round. Last season in Paris, Shapovalov lost in the third round against Hurkacz in four tight sets.

Filip Misolic has won four of his last five matches. Misolic qualified for the main draw tournament this week in Paris by winning all three matches in straight sets. In the opening main draw round, the Austrian won against Bu in four sets after losing the opening set 5-7.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Misolic is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He performed great this week in Paris. Shapovalov never succeeded at the French Open. We expect Misolic to keep this match tight.

That being said, Misolic covering the games handicap is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Filip Misolic +2.5 games handicap @1.91 @bet365

Monfils – Draper: 29.05.2025 20:15 CEST
H2H: 0-1

Gael Monfils has lost three of his last five matches. The 39-year-old Frenchman defeated Dellien in the opening round of the French Open this week. After spending almost four hours on the court, Monfils turned the match around with the crowd’s help.

Jack Draper has won four of his last five matches. The Brit dominated this season on clay. Earlier this season, Draper reached the final in Madrid. 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.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Draper is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Monfils spent almost four hours on the court in the opening round, and he will be exhausted. On the other hand, Draper is in great form, and we expect him to dominate this match.

That being said, Draper covering the games handicap is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Jack Draper -6.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365
