French Open Day 6 betting picks & top odds | May 30, 2025

Two rounds of the 2025 French Open are in the bank, with day six kicking off in Paris this Friday. Seeds begin to meet now, meaning juicy clashes and some excellent betting prospects across tennis sportsbooks. Below are three bets on Friday’s action at Roland-Garros, including a +360 winner on the women’s side.

Best bet: Nuno Borges vs Alexei Popyrin preview

Nuno Borges and Alexei Popyrin have met twice, each picking up a win. While the Australian might have the greater potential and a stronger record on the ATP Tour, the Portuguese is a better fit on clay and has looked more stable so far in Paris.

Borges plays with more safety and control, which favors him in a best-of-five format on clay. Having beaten several great players on this surface, including Rafael Nadal, the world No.41 is the natural pick over Popyrin.

Next best: Carlos Alcaraz vs Damir Dzumhur preview

Carlos Alcaraz has looked excellent so far at the French Open, and while Damir Dzumhur has been sharp as well, there are some issues with his game. The Bosnian does not have a powerful serve; he is accurate, but at around 160km/h, it makes him a massive sitting duck against Alcaraz’s aggression.

Dzumhur has struggled in the past against players who bring a lot of power, and he comes into this clash with a slight leg niggle. Expect a straightforward victory for Alcaraz, clearing the under market across tennis betting apps.

Value bet: Victoria Mboko vs Zheng Qinwen preview

Zheng Qinwen is amazing on clay, beating Iga Swiatek en route to an Olympic gold on these courts last year. However, against the red-hot Victoria Mboko, she is our upset alert this Friday.

The Canadian teen is 40-5 across all levels in 2025, having won five in a row already in Paris after coming through qualifying. She is playing fearless tennis, which will frustrate the sometimes-fragile Zheng. There is enough quality in the racquet of Mboko to make this clash far tighter than tennis sportsbooks have set their odds.
