Another busy day is scheduled across the famous grounds in Paris, there\u2019s one bet in particular that stands out on day three. Let\u2019s take a look at some of the potential best bets of the day on the women\u2019s side of the draw.<\/p>\n<h4>French Open Day 3 \u2013 Women\u2019s Best Bets<\/h4>\n<h4>Tamara Zidansek vs Claire Liu<\/h4>\n<p>Tamara Zidansek achieved the greatest result of her career when she reached the semifinals at Roland Garros in 2021. 12 months later she is starting as an outsider in the opening round against Claire Liu. There\u2019s a reason for that, Liu is in fantastic form, having <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2022\/05\/16\/american-claire-liu-wins-new-wta-125-event-in-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">won the WTA 125K title in Paris<\/a> a few weeks ago and then reaching the final in Rabat just a few days ago. Nevertheless, this is an extremely important match for Zidansek, the majority of her ranking points are on the line. Fatigue could become an issue for Liu who has played a lot of tennis over the last few weeks. I see some value with a desperate Zidansek is in this situation.<\/p>\n<h5><em>Recommended Selections:<\/em><\/h5>\n<h5><em>Tamara Zidansek ML \u2013 1 unit @ +127<\/em><\/h5>\n<p><a id=\"L0J4SZlERJB_TUWDoE00rQ\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1394570540\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'L0J4SZlERJB_TUWDoE00rQ',sig:'WyPc-JVcJ2vokDaxR2wNazPEKh0Qaj8xgtMt82at6CI=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1394570540',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Daria Kasatkina vs Rebecca Peterson<\/h4>\n<p>Rebecca Peterson\u2019s recent form isn\u2019t good, but I still don\u2019t see Daria Kasatkina as such an overwhelming favorite in this matchup on a clay court. There are a lot of similarities in the way that these two play, that situation can lead to a close match, and sometimes even an upset. I think Peterson has a better chance in this matchup than the odds suggest. Kasatkina isn\u2019t the most trustworthy player in this situation, Peterson can cause her some problems if she\u2019s on her game.<\/p>\n<h5><em>Recommended Selections:<\/em><\/h5>\n<h5><em>Rebecca Peterson ML \u2013 0.5 units @ +404<\/em><\/h5>\n<p><a id=\"JHACDS3SRnNXrGxWcqER9w\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1237965741\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'JHACDS3SRnNXrGxWcqER9w',sig:'QQWId_Y0BkU8nWDko8TfyIIhdV_aFz3drosF6P4fbNw=',w:'594px',h:'353px',items:'1237965741',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Madison Brengle vs Mihaela Buzarnescu<\/h4>\n<p>Mihaela Buzarnescu fought her way through qualifying in Paris, I see some slight value with the Romanian in her main draw opener with Madison Brengle. I\u2019d say that clay is Brengle\u2019s worst surface, it makes her shots less effective and puts more strain on her body. Mihaela Buzarnescu has the weapons to control this matchup, the fact that she won three matches in qualifying suggests that she\u2019s playing well enough to execute. I see enough value with Buzarnescu as a slight underdog.<\/p>\n<h5><em>Recommended Selections:<\/em><\/h5>\n<h5><em>Mihaela Buzarnescu ML \u2013 1 unit @ +194<\/em><\/h5>\n<p><a id=\"3sueMa_rSlpph4fAlVsJRA\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1321426195\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'3sueMa_rSlpph4fAlVsJRA',sig:'JVQjWIGUheIrmzgkO6D_B0J-EuvXGPCMoCREXPBGbbw=',w:'594px',h:'389px',items:'1321426195',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Taylor Townsend vs Caroline Garcia<\/h4>\n<p>At first glance, the odds for this matchup were probably the most surprising of all first round matchups on the women\u2019s side of the draw. Taylor Townsend only just returned from a lengthy time away from the game, she competed in three ITF events where she made two quarterfinals and won one title. That\u2019s a good start, but I certainly wouldn\u2019t have her as the favourite against Caroline Garcia in the opening round at Roland Garros, even if Garcia continues to be a disappointment. This matchup on a clay court favours Garcia, especially in Paris where she has the crowd on her side. I\u2019d expect Garcia to win this match.<\/p>\n<h5><em>Recommended Selections:<\/em><\/h5>\n<h5><em>Caroline Garcia ML \u2013 3 units @ +147<\/em><\/h5>\n<p><em>Recommended selections are based on a 5-unit betting system where 1 unit is a minimum stake, and 5 units is the maximum stake.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This article is intended for entertainment purposes only.
