French Open Tennis Picks: Upset Alert
Rafael Jodar (+253) vs. Alexander Zverev
Zverev is the favorite to win this title with Carlos Alcaraz (wrist), Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic all out of contention, but the third-ranked German hasn't handled pressure all that well at Grand Slams over the years, and the best ATP player ever without a major title on his resume is certainly aware of the opportunity currently in front of him. The 19-year-old Jodar still has his whole career in front of him, so the talented Spaniard should be able to swing much more freely in his first Grand Slam quarterfinal. Jodar has been pushed to five sets in each of his last two matches, but fatigue shouldn't be too much of a factor since his fourth-round comeback against compatriot Pablo Carreno Busta wasn't too physically demanding in the last three sets after PCB's body started to let the 34-year-old veteran down. Jodar will be the first top-40 opponent for Zverev in this tournament, and Jodar's No. 29 ranking doesn't do his ability justice since he didn't have many ranking points prior to this year's clay-court swing, during which Jodar has posted a sparkling 19-3 record.
French Open Tennis Odds: Lock It In
Joao Fonseca (-218) vs. Jakub Mensik
Fonseca has put together back-to-back masterful performances, backing up his comeback from two sets to love down against 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic in the third round with a grueling four-set win over two-time French Open finalist Casper Ruud in the Round of 16. The talented Brazilian has matured into an excellent all-around tennis player and is learning how to get the most out of arguably the biggest forehand on the ATP Tour. Mensik is also a young power player who has racked up some big wins, notably beating Djokovic in the Miami Open final last year and posting back-to-back top-15 wins over Alex de Minaur and Andrey Rublev in his last two matches here. The 20-year-old Czech is also in uncharted territory in his first Grand Slam quarterfinal, just like Fonseca, so Mensik may also have some nerves to contend with here. If Fonseca plays at the same level he reached in the previous two rounds, it's tough to see how Mensik will fare any better than Djokovic or Ruud did considering those two have stellar clay-court resumes while Mensik had just a 3-3 clay-court record this year heading into the French Open compared to a 15-6 record on hard courts.
Honorable Mention
Mirra Andreeva (-191) vs. Sorana Cirstea
French Open Tennis Predictions: Value Bets
Elina Svitolina (+106) vs. Marta Kostyuk
Kostyuk is coming off the best win of her career against Iga Swiatek and has a perfect 15-0 clay-court record in 2026, but the pressure will ratchet up on the 23-year-old Ukrainian in just her second career Grand Slam quarterfinal. Her 31-year-old compatriot Svitolina has much more experience in big matches, as this will be her 15th career Grand Slam quarterfinal match. Svitolina won the Italian Open after Kostyuk won the previous WTA 1000 event in Madrid, so both Ukrainians have been elite on clay recently. They split two previous meetings, but both of those came on hard courts, and these players haven't faced off in nearly two years. Given Svitolina's excellent play all year and eight-spot edge in the rankings, she's the slightly stronger value here.
