We have a huge line-up on Day 3 in the women’s draw with the two finalists from a year ago (Gauff and Sabalenka) headlining play on the show courts. We will also get our first look at two future stars in Mboko and Jovic with both in the same quarter as the world number one. Aryna Sabalenka vs Jessica Bouzas Maneiro Tuesday Over 17.5 games ($1.82) The depth in women’s tennis is superior to that of their male counterpart at present by a significant margin. It means that Sabalenka as the top seed and number 1 player in the world,…

We’ve had to wait a few days but will finally get a chance to see the world number 1 in action. You won’t want to miss the start as his battle against Tabur is unlikely to last very long. Bublik v Struff looks an enticing clash on paper and don’t be quick to make down Medvedev as a winner as he has a terrible record in 1st Round matches at the French Open. Jannik Sinner vs Clement Tabur Tuesday Under 25.5 games ($1.87) We have seen Sinner completely dominate men’s tennis since Alcaraz went down injured and there will be…

Day 1 was not kind to several former Grand Slam champions with Krejcikova, Raducanu and Sloane Stephens all heading for the exits. Andreeva and Bencic progressed in straight sets with the likes of Swiatek, Rybakina and Paolini hoping to do the same on Day 2. Veronika Erjavec vs Elena Rybakina 11:10pm* Monday | Philippe-Chatrier Over 17.5 games ($2.10) & Sets Rybakina 2-1 ($6.40) On paper this look a complete mismatch but Rybakina may have to play at a level higher than expected. Clay is Erjavec’s best surface by a country mile. Of her 10 WTA Challenger Tour finals contested (singles…

The trio of Zverev, Khavchanov and Mensik were comfortable winners yesterday but 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic was broken multiple times and was forced to come from a set down against Mpetshi Perricard. Today we turn our attention to young gun Rafael Jodar who despite being seeded has drawn a dangerous opponent in the form of Kovacevic. In a blow for tournament organisers, Arthur Fils has withdrawn with injury with De Jong to replace him as a lucky loser. Daniel Merida vs Ben Shelton 1:00am* Tuesday | Court Suzanne Lenglen Merida +5.5 ($1.70) Shocked to see Daniel Merida, a clay…

The tennis world has arrived in Paris and the Sunday start means for tennis for fans. The opening day is usually light on big names but we will get to see Andreeva and former champion Krejcikova. Mirra Andreeva vs Fiona Ferro 12:50am* Monday | Philippe-Chatrier Andreeva -6.5 ($1.70) These two have faced off once before – it was three years ago at ITF level when Andreeva was only 16 years of age. Her quality was there to be seen as she broke the Ferro serve 7 times! Three years on she has developed into one of the world’s best and…

With the two-time defending champion (Alcaraz) out due to a wrist injury, world number 1 Jannik Sinner has been installed as the overwhelming favourite. The Italian has a chance to join elite company by completing the career slam (win all four majors) and it is hard to see anybody denying him. Djokovic has played a single clay court match leading in, Zverev has been comprehensively beaten by Sinner multiple times in 2026 and the young brigade of Fonseca and Jodar are yet to make an impact in best of five sets tennis. Nadal won the French Open four times without…

Cori Gauff was our best bet 12 months ago and she delivered by ending Iga Swiatek’s reign as the three-time defending champion. World number 1 Aryna Sabalenka is attempting to go one better and win her maiden French Open title, Rybakina is the form player on the WTA Tour and there is a long list of dangerous players including Swiatek, Andreeva, Svitolina and Mboko. The women’s tournament will provide us with a host of very interesting matchups from the opening round! Best Bet Iga Swiatek @ $4.50 Iga Swiatek ($4.50): A stomach virus got the better of her in Madrid…

Men’s tennis has been dealt a savage blow with Carlos Arlcaraz sustaining a wrist injury that has ruled him out of the tournament and likely Wimbledon as well. It means that there will be no three-peat for the Spaniard and opens the door for Sinner to join him on the elite list of players to have won all four majors. His absence also means opportunity for someone else to step up but is there anybody capable of doing so… Winner Jannik Sinner @ $1.36 Jannik Sinner ($1.36): Even when Nadal was at his absolute peak, we did not see him…
