Third-round competition at the French Open wraps up on Saturday, when Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Mirra Andreeva and Coco Gauff take the court. Arguably the marquee matchup on the order of play is Jack Draper vs Joao Fonseca.
Let’s take a look at my best bets on the Day 7 schedule.
Parlay: Mirra Andreeva -1.5 sets over Yulia Putintseva and Jannik Sinner -1.5 sets over Jiri Lehecka (-121)
Andreeva is in amazing form this season. The 18-year-old won back-to-back 1000-point titles in Dubai and Indian Wells, propelling her to #6 in the world. I think she has a decent chance to win the entire tournament. Putintseva was 6-10 in her last 16 matches heading into the French Open and really doesn’t have any good wins since Adelaide back in early January (defeated Diana Shnaider). Meanwhile, Sinner hasn’t dropped off at all since returning from his 3-month suspension. The top-ranked Italian’s only loss in 2025 has come against Carlos Alcaraz in the final of the Rome Masters. Sinner is 3-0 lifetime in the head-to-head series against Lehecka, including 6-0 in total sets.
Flavio Cobolli Over 15.5 games won vs Alexander Zverev (-125)
Zverev is a massive favorite, but this match will probably me much more competitive than many expect. Cobolli has been on fire since a 7-match losing streak earlier in the year. The Italian has already captured 2 titles on clay, triumphing in Bucharest and Hamburg. He made quick work of Marin Cilic in round 1 of the French Open and took care of compatriot Matteo Arnaldi in 4 mostly routine sets on Thursday. Zverev’s season has gone in the other direction. The German started hot with a runner-up showing at the Australian Open but has struggled pretty much nonstop for 4 months. Cobolli pushed Holger Rune to the brink in an epic 5-setter last year in Paris and he could do the same with Zverev on the other side of the net. The underdog might even win this one outright.
Cameron Norrie ML over Jake Fearnley (+100)
This is a matchup between former NCAA stars, both of whom played at TCU. They didn’t overlap, though, as Norrie is considerably older than Fearnley. Nonetheless, Norrie is by no means past his prime. The 29-year-old may not be at his absolute peak level, but – when healthy – he is still playing well and he posted a stellar 5-set victory over Daniil Medvedev in the Roland Garros first round. I think Norrie’s history of success at Grand Slams and his experience on clay will be big factors in this match. The left-hander reached the Wimbledon semifinals in 2022 and he has been to the fourth round of a major 2 other times. Fearnley has never been past the third round.
