Novak Djokovic To Win 1st Set 6-1 Or 6-2 vs Filip Misolic
2/1 - odds when tipped
Demo Image
Reasoning
Djokovic’s first sets in Grand Slams are often brutally one-sided when facing lower-ranked opposition. Misolic, still adapting to this stage, is likely to be overwhelmed by Djokovic’s early intensity and tactical precision. A fast start from the Serbian could result in a swift 6-1 or 6-2 opening set.

The red clay of Paris will once again be the stage where some of tennis’ finest continue their pursuit of Grand Slam glory. Leading the day’s action are marquee names who bring with them a mix of expectation, momentum, and questions yet to be answered.

On the men’s side, Carlos Alcaraz continues his title bid with a third-round tie against Bosnia’s Damir Dzumhur, while local hope Quentin Halys prepares to challenge the formidable Holger Rune. There’s also a compelling clash between Tommy Paul and Karen Khachanov, with both players having been dragged through taxing five-set encounters to reach this stage. Another all-American showdown sees Frances Tiafoe square off with Sebastian Korda in a match promising fireworks and finesse.

Over in the women’s draw, Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek headline the day’s proceedings. Swiatek, the reigning queen of clay, remains the focal point of this competition, while Sabalenka looks to maintain her ruthless form. Other names looking to book their place in the fourth round include Elena Rybakina, who faces Jelena Ostapenko in what could be the most volatile match-up of the day, and Dayana Yastremska, whose clash with Liudmila Samsonova is expected to go the distance.

With seasoned competitors meeting surging underdogs and seasoned tacticians facing fearless youth, today’s action is as much about resilience as it is about flair. The clay has a way of exposing vulnerabilities – and rewarding those who adapt quickly.

Best Bet for Friday: Carlos Alcaraz -11.5 Games Handicap vs Damir Dzumhur

Carlos Alcaraz to cover a -11.5 game spread against Damir Dzumhur stands out as the most compelling selection on Friday’s card.

Alcaraz enters this clash on the back of a dominant showing in his last match, where despite a brief lapse in the second set, he quickly restored authority to close it out comfortably. That momentary dip served as a timely reminder that while his talent is undeniable, the Spaniard remains intent on improving his game management. Against Dzumhur, however, it’s difficult to envision anything other than a one-sided affair.

Dzumhur has battled valiantly to reach the third round, notching a four-set victory over 32nd seed Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. Yet even in that encounter, the Bosnian needed to dig deep against a player still learning how to transition his power game to clay. Dzumhur’s court coverage remains admirable, but he faces an entirely different level of opponent in Alcaraz – one whose energy, depth of shot, and weight of spin are not only unmatched but intensify with each round.

Alcaraz’s relentless aggression, especially when stepping inside the baseline on second serves, is likely to pin Dzumhur back, preventing him from crafting points on his terms. The Bosnian’s past injury concerns, notably a recent knee issue, are hardly ideal when confronting someone who forces constant lateral movement. Given the disparity in shotmaking, movement, and mental intensity, a routine three-set win with a wide margin looks highly probable. A dominant Alcaraz performance that covers the 11.5-game line feels well within reach.
