We’re getting into the deep waters at the 2025 Men’s French Open.
Day 7 features an eight-match card with 16 players attempting to make it to the Round of 16, and the second week, at Roland Garros.
Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, and Alexander Zverev are all in action on Saturday, but there is no doubt that the match with the most potential to be a thriller is the showdown between teen sensation João Fonseca and rising star Jack Draper.
We’ll share our best bet for that match and more below.
It’s been a trying season for Alexander Zverev since his run to the finals at the 2025 Australian Open in January.
The German looked like he was well on his way to a massive year with his performance Down Under, but that narrative quickly cooled when the German went 6-6 over his next 12 matches after losing to Sinner in the Aussie finals.
Zverev has been better of late, but he’s made a habit of losing matches that he should have no issues winning.
That could be what we see on Saturday against the impressive Italian Flavio Cobolli.
Fresh off a title at Hamburg – his second trophy during the European clay-court season – Cobolli has looked imperious at Roland Garros, dispatching Marin Cilic in a whitewash and then taking care of his dangerous compatriot, Matteo Arnaldi.
Cobolli is riding a seven-match winning streak, and he’s got impressive victories over Arnaldi, Holger Rune, Sebastian Baez, and Andrey Rublev during the clay season.
He’s dangerous on Saturday.
The Play: Flavio Cobolli +390 (FanDuel)
This will be box office.
Two of the sport’s young sensations will duke it out for the opportunity to make it to the Round of 16 at the French Open under the lights in Paris.
Draper, fresh off a dramatic win over Gael Monfils, is a -200 favorite, but we could see these odds tighten as we get closer to tip-off.
João Fonseca has been terrific in his first-ever French Open. The 18-year-old from Brazil made quick work of No. 30 Hubert Hurkacz in Round 1, and then whitewashed Pierre-Hugues Herbert in Round 2.
Draper represents a step up from both players, but Fonseca has already dispatched some notable opponents in his first full year on the ATP Tour.
Fonseca beat Andrey Rublev at the Australian Open, won a title with a win over Francisco Cerundolo, and took out Ugo Humbert in Miami.
Draper did make quick work of Fonseca en route to his title at Indian Wells, but that came after a gauntlet to start 2025 for the teenager, who looks back in form at Roland Garros.
Fonseca has the game to give the red-hot Draper a run for his money, and that’s all you’re looking for with these odds.
The Play: João Fonseca +172
