Roland Garros Expert Tips and Best Bets | June 2

The quarterfinals of the 2026 French Open are officially upon us, with the first two on both the men’s and women’s sides of the draw set to take place on Tuesday. Take a look at our three best bets across those four games below.

A Grand Slam title has been frustratingly elusive for Alexander Zverev throughout his career so far, but with both Sinner and Djokovic having been knocked out of the event early, this might just be his best chance yet to break his duck. The German has cruised through to the quarters, dropping just a solitary set along the way, and as yet not having to face a seeded player. That will change on Tuesday, but ranked 27, Jodar is a long way off the world number two. The Spaniard has required five sets to beat each of his last two opponents, neither of whom was seeded, and against easily the best player he’s faced this tournament he will likely struggle. Zverev is a good chance to win this in straight sets, but at around $1.60 with most betting sites to win either 3-1 or 3-0 he looks like a safe bet.

Both Fonseca and Mensik have had fantastic tournaments, each of them disposing of multiple higher-ranked players than themselves en route to the quarterfinals. Mensik impressively beat 8th seed Alex De Minaur in four sets before following that up with a five-set win over Andrey Rublev, both hugely impressive results. Fonseca, however, has arguably been the story of the tournament. The highly talented 19-year-old incredibly fought back from two sets down against none other than Novak Djokovic in a career defining performance, before following that up against clay maestro Casper Ruud. Mensik deserves plenty of respect for his tournament, but Fonseca looks to have taken a big step forward in the early stages of what could easily be a brilliant career, and at nearly even money to win by more than one set with betting apps, looks like good value.

This all-Ukrainian affair will see 7th seed Svitolina take on 15th seed Kostyuk, but despite those rankings, Kostyuk is going to be extremely hard to beat. At 23 years of age, she appears to have taken a huge step forward in her career – she has won an incredible 15 matches in a row after winning consecutive tournaments in the lead up to Roland Garros, and completely overpowered four-time French Open winner Iga Swiatek last round. Svitolina is an extremely solid player but one who typically struggles against the elite, and while her world ranking doesn’t yet reflect it, Kostyuk is playing like one of the world’s absolute best. A 16th consecutive win looks well and truly on the cards.
