It shapes up as a massive fortnight of tennis in Paris for the second grand slam of the year. Ace is here to find some outright selections amongst a range of markets that are available. Check out his thoughts below.
2023 French Open Futures Betting Tips
ATP - Quarter 2 Winner
There are two names at the top of the market in Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, and they’ve both landed in the same half of the draw! Alcaraz has a pretty comfortable run to the quarter finals looking at the form and weapons of other players in his pocket of the draw, meaning his first genuine test is likely to come in the quarter finals against Stefanos Tsitsipas. You can make a case for the $2.25 for those two to meet in the tournament as being slight value, however rolling over stakes round to round for each player may turn out being a slightly better avenue of attack.
There isn’t a stack of value across the quarters markets, however I could make a case for the $12 for Karen Khachanov in the 2nd quarter winner market. His draw looks solid, and he has the game and tools to challenge the top 2 players in the section in Djokovic and Rublev, were he to face either player.

ATP - Who will go the furthest?
Bet365 have offered up a handful of these markets, and in my opinion there is one match-up that looks to have presented a touch of value. I think the $1.80 that is on offer for Holger Rune to go further than Daniil Medvedev is a really interesting price. Medvedev has a far trickier first round match than odds currently suggest, and the 4th round meeting potentially with Borna Coric is also more difficult than Rune is likely to face in the first week. Rune’s trickiest potential opponent before the quarter finals is Taylor Fritz, and I think on what I have seen from Holger on the surface, I am more comfortable anticipating a deep run from here with his draw in comparison to Medvedev.

ATP - Player To Reach Round
Casper Ruud – I do feel as though the consistency and level of Casper should lead him to reaching the final 8 of the tournament. His toughest way to the quarter final sees him facing E Ymer, Bublik, Van De Zandschulp and Paul/Struff, and in Ruud’s current form and across the best of 5 set format, I think Ruud should be too good for that group of players. Value for a small selection here.

WTA – Quarter 3 Winner
There isn’t a stack of value about, however I am looking to bet around Iga Swiatek initially until I see her take to the court, given her recent injury issues. Looking to the bottom half and with a couple of the top seeds in the third quarter kicking off their campaigns with tricky opponents, Anastasia Potapova is decent value to make a run. At her best she is certainly able to challenge each of the players in this section and is worth a small play.

WTA – Quarter 4 Winner
Another player that caught my eye in the 4th quarter winner market is Marketa Vondrousova. She sits on the third line of betting and in the Parisian clay conditions is more than able to hold her own against the two favourites in Sabalenka and Ostapenko.
