Ons Jabeur (+600) to win her quarter of the draw
“If she finds fitness over the balance of the first week and change here, she probably comes out of q2, even against the idea of going against Elena Rybakina. She’s a much better clay player, so if she can get fit, she’s going to be a bet that you will want to have in pocket. I have not fired yet in full transparency, but my numbers say don’t be an idiot. Go bet that quarter.”
Taylor Fritz (+1000) to win his quarter of the draw
“He’s been playing well on clay this year. Not well enough to say that he should be close to the favorite price in this market, but definitely closer to the favorite than 10:1. I like his spot on the draw. I like his head-to-head win against Rune in Miami this year. This to me feels actually feels like there’s a realistic chance he wins. Fritz plays great at the best of five level. Let’s go with Taylor Fritz at 10:1 (to win his quarter of the draw).”

Novak Djokovic to win the French Open (+250)
“At this point, I think the only bet in the outright markets on the men’s side is Novak Djokovic. Its not the sexiest bet but my numbers show the odds for Alcaraz and Djokovic should be reversed. The degree of the difference in experience in best of five tennis between Djokovic and everyone else outside of Medvedev maybe is just spectacular. Djokovic has played 425 Best to five matches in his career. He has a 90% winning percentage in those matches. Carlos Alvarez, in contrast…he’s played 31 best of five tennis matches in his career.”
Aryna Sabalenka to win the French Open (+600)
“Sabalenka is only going to have to face one of the Rybakina or Swiatek due to the way the draw fell. As a result, if she’s fresher and if she’s a little sharper than whomever survives the other half of the draw maybe gives her a little bit more of a leveling effect in the final itself. I think Sabalenka is your pre flop play. PointsBet has her price at +600 and I see the fair price at +525.”
