Tennis betting tips: French Open Day Four Wednesday May 28 Predictions
Can Nava Find the Formula to Crack Rune’s Resilience?
- Opelka has broken serve in just 12% of return games on clay in 2025
- 5 of Opelka’s last 7 matches featured a first-set tie-break or a 7-5 scoreline
- Nava’s opening set against Nakashima required a tie-break to be settled
Our Tips
Gael Monfils +5.5 | |
13/10 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Gael Monfils’ home-court magic, bolstered by crowd energy and experience, makes him a dangerous opponent even at 38. His recent five-set comeback proves he’s not easily broken, and Draper’s occasional inconsistency opens the door for a tight match. Back Monfils to stay within the +5.5 games handicap.

The clay courts of Paris are primed for a full day of riveting rallies and momentum swings, with many of the sport’s marquee names back in action.
From a British perspective, the spotlight lands firmly on the intriguing duel between Emma Raducanu and clay-court queen Iga Swiatek. The Polish top seed boasts a near-impervious record at this venue and will look to extend her dominance against the Brit, who is still attempting to find consistency following a bout of illness and a tumultuous run of form.

Elsewhere, Aryna Sabalenka enters the fray with expectations high, while over on the men’s side, Carlos Alcaraz—fresh off titles in Monte Carlo and Rome—faces a stern examination from Fabian Marozsan, who’s shown glimpses of brilliance in the lead-up to this Slam. The Hungarian will hope to recreate some of the magic that once saw him stun Alcaraz in Rome.
Also on the men’s card, eyes will be fixed on the towering presence of Reilly Opelka and the spirited Mariano Navone. With Opelka’s thunderous serve and Navone’s clay court poise, this encounter has the potential to stretch deep into tie-break territory. Meanwhile, Karen Khachanov and Sebastian Ofner meet in what could be a serving masterclass, with their recent ace tallies suggesting a war of attrition from the baseline and beyond.
Then, to wrap up the day, an intriguing battle between Holger Rune and Emilio Nava promises to round off the day with a bang. Rune, dogged by inconsistency and minor injuries, meets a buoyant Nava who is coming off the back of his first ever French Open win.

Best Bet for Today: Emilio Nava To Win 1st Set 6-4 Or 7-6
With his confidence surging following a clinical first-round performance, Emilio Nava enters his second-round clash brimming with belief. The prediction of a tightly contested opening set, finishing either 6-4 or 7-6 in Nava’s favour, appears grounded in recent trends and stylistic contrasts.
Navone’s victory over Brandon Nakashima saw a first-set tie-break, showcasing his resilience and patience on serve. When facing Reilly Opelka, a notoriously erratic returner who has only managed to break serve in 12% of return games on clay this year, it’s not unreasonable to anticipate a sequence of uninterrupted service holds. Opelka’s own service strength—an 88% hold rate on clay—means early break points will likely be scarce.
This combination makes the prospect of a closely fought first set almost inevitable. Five of Opelka’s past seven matches have included a tie-break, with three of those in the opening set and two others ending 7-5. As Navone adapts to the American’s booming deliveries, a slow-burn opening exchange seems highly plausible. With odds of 21/10 for over 10.5 games in the opener and a precedent for protracted early sets, Nava edging the set 6-4 or clinching it in a breaker feels a well-reasoned punt.
