2022 French Open Men’s Singles
Ajaze Bedene vs. Pablo Cuevas
32-year-old Slovenian Ajaze Bedene required 5 sets in the first round to beat Christopher O’Connell. Bedene beat O’Connell 6-2, 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-1. Pablo Cuevas beat Jenson Brooksby via straight sets, 6-2, 6-1, 6-2, in his first match. Cuevas shouldn’t be nearly as tired as Bedene. The chalk is the play.
Tennis Betting Pick: Pablo Cuevas -179
Botic Van De Zandschulp vs. Fabio Fognini
26-year-old Botic Van De Zandschulp played well in his first match. Van De Zandschulp beat Pavel Kotov 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. Fabio Fognini required just 3 sets to take down Alexei Popyrin. Fognini bested Popyrin 6-4, 7-5, 6-4. This season, Fognini is 19-6 in singles matches. Because this can go either way, the slight dog gets the nod.
Tennis Betting Pick: Fabio Fognini +134
Hugo Dellien vs. Karen Khachanov
Hugo Dellien, a 28-year-old from Bolivia played one of the best matches so far during the 2022 French Open. Facing Dominic Thiem, Dellien didn’t hold back. The underdog in this blasted Thiem 6-3, 6-2, 6-4. Beating a quality player like Thiem isn’t easy. But although Dellien has a chance, the victory was just his fourth in 13 singles matches, which is why Khachanov is the chalk. But Khachanov required 4 sets to get by Nuno Borges in round one. Khachanov should win. He offers underlay odds to do so, making Dellien the play.
Tennis Betting Pick: Hugo Dellien +188
2022 French Open Women’s Singles
Belinda Bencic vs. Bianca Andreescu
NitroBetting will soon set odds on Bencic versus Andreescu. No matter the odds, Andreescu is the pick. Swiss star Bencic played great in her first match, dusting Reka-Luca Jani 6-1, 6-1. Not only that, but Andreescu struggled in round one when beating Ysaline Bonaventure 3-6, 7-5, 6-0. But when Andreescu has her racket working, she’s one of the best tennis players on the women’s side in the world. Andreescu improved in each set. She can knock out Bencic.
Tennis Betting Pick: Bianca Andreescu
Victoria Azarenka vs. Andrea Petkovic
There’s a good chance Andrea Petkovic is the underdog in this match. But Petkovic had a much better first round victory than 15-seed Victoria Azarenka. The likely chalk struggled in her first French Open match, requiring 5 sets to send Ana Bogdan packing. Petkovic beat Oceane Dodin 6-4, 6-2. Whether Petkovic is the favorite or underdog, it doesn’t matter. She’s the choice to win this contest.
Tennis Betting Pick: Andrea Petkovic
Maria Bouzkova vs. Elise Mertens
23-year-old Maria Bouzkova had no trouble in her first French Open match. Bouzkova easily handled Anastasia Gasanova 6-1, 6-2. But although Bouzkova played great, she faces a strong contender in Elise Mertens. Mertens beat Elena-Gabriela Ruse 6-3, 6-1 in her first French Open contest. Mertens is good enough to win the final. The chalk wins.
Tennis Betting Pick: Elise Mertens -118
