Novak Djokovic
🔁 Easy cruise so far: Dispatched McDonald and Moutet with minimal fuss—hasn’t faced a break of serve yet.
📊 75–1 vs. non-top-100 players at Slams: Only loss was to Istomin in AO 2017.
🎯 Clay confidence rising: Won Olympic gold and Geneva title recently—finding rhythm again on dirt.
🧱 Built for best-of-five: Even when off-form, Novak rarely lets early Slam opponents threaten him.
Filip Misolic
💪 Slam marathoner: Now 2–0 in Roland-Garros five-setters—outlasted Virtanen in 2024 and Shapovalov this week.
🎯 Clay-court maturity: Gritty grinder who thrives in long rallies—but this is his first match vs a top-10 player.
🚧 Lacks explosive tools: Built for rallies, not for hurting Djokovic—his style plays into Novak’s strengths.
📉 Huge underdog: Entered Paris ranked well outside the top 100, yet has already surpassed expectations.
Misolic is no pushover—he’s mentally tough, has stamina, and is comfortable constructing points on clay. However, Djokovic has mastered dismantling this exact profile. His court coverage, return depth, and tactical awareness neutralize opponents who rely on grit over pace.
Unless Djokovic struggles physically or mentally—neither of which has been evident this week—Misolic will find it hard to earn free points or sustain pressure. Expect some long games and clever claycraft from the Austrian, but the world No. 1 has too many answers.
Prediction: Djokovic in 3 sets
Suggested Bet: Under 28.5 Games – Novak’s efficiency should make this a straight-set win with controlled scorelines.
Madison Keys
💥 Unstoppable start: Dropped just 7 games across first two rounds, looking sharp and efficient.
🏆 AO 2025 champion: Defeated Swiatek, Sabalenka, and Rybakina en route to her first Slam title.
🔥 On fire: Riding high after a 16-match win streak earlier this year, with titles in Adelaide and a SF run in Indian Wells.
📈 Reliable Slam form: Into the R3 of a Slam for the seventh straight time—now one of the tour’s most consistent deep-run players.
Sofia Kenin
😮 Resilient: Beat Azarenka in straights after trailing 1–4 and 2–5—vintage fight from the 2020 AO champion.
🔁 Ranking revival: Climbed from outside top 150 to top 40 in six months, thanks to consistent results on both hard and clay.
🌍 Clay ceiling: Still looking for a major clay breakthrough—3–5 vs top-10 players on this surface.
🇫🇷 RG comeback: First time reaching R3 here since 2021—quietly building momentum again.
Keys is playing ruthless tennis—aggressive yet composed, using her serve and flat groundstrokes to dominate. Her form is arguably the best of her career, and she’s shown no signs of letting up in week one.
Kenin has shown grit and resilience, but she’s faced more turbulence. Her fightback vs Azarenka was impressive, but against a dialed-in Keys, that kind of start could be costly. Unless she disrupts Keys’ rhythm early, the match could slip quickly.
Prediction: Keys in 2 sets
Suggested Bet: Keys -4.5 games – Back the in-form American to win with margin and control.

Coco Gauff
🏛️ Roland-Garros veteran: Fifth straight R3 appearance with a superb 22–5 record here.
📈 Clay court dominance: Finalist in Madrid and Rome, and almost unbeatable against non-top-20 opposition on clay.
🔥 Easy cruise: Dropped just 7 games across two rounds—clearly locked in.
🥈 Paris proven: 2022 finalist and among the top contenders for the title again.
Marie Bouzkova
🚑 Fitness concern eased: Retired in Strasbourg but has looked healthy in Paris.
🎾 Back-to-back straight-set wins over Kalinskaya and Kartal.
📊 Still seeking Slam breakthrough: Never gone beyond R3 in a major.
📉 Winless vs Top 2: 0–5 lifetime vs world No. 1 or 2 opponents.
Gauff is playing some of the most confident clay tennis of her career. Her ability to dictate with her forehand and defend wide angles makes her a nightmare matchup for Bouzkova, who prefers rhythm and struggles to create offense.
Though Bouzkova leads the H2H 2–1, one win was a retirement and the other predates Gauff’s rise to elite status. Now a Grand Slam winner, the American is physically and mentally superior on this surface.
Prediction: Gauff in 2 sets
Suggested Bet: Under 19.5 Total Games – Expect a swift and dominant performance from Gauff.

Hailey Baptiste
🚀 Breakthrough Slam run: Reached the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time after solid wins over Hibino and 23rd seed Haddad Maia.
🏆 First Slam top-30 win: Took down Haddad Maia in three sets, showing grit and shot tolerance.
📈 Hitting career-high rankings and gaining momentum on clay, especially at Roland-Garros where she’s historically felt comfortable.
⏳ Entering uncharted waters, but looking more composed than ever.
Jessica Bouzas Maneiro
🔥 Destroyed Emma Navarro 6–0, 6–1 in R1, her second top-10 win.
🎯 Showed resilience to rally from 1–4 down in the decider vs Montgomery.
🌱 2025 clay swing turned her season around—QFs in Antalya, Rouen, and Rabat.
📍 Slam R3 regular now, but still chasing her first second-week berth.
Both are riding career-best waves into this round. Baptiste has found calm and control behind her powerful game, while Bouzas Maneiro mixes aggressive ball-striking with improved patience.
Their W50 Morelia clash earlier this year was a marathon with Bouzas Maneiro saving match points—giving her a psychological edge. However, this Paris clay and the stakes are different, and Baptiste is now more battle-hardened.
Prediction: Bouzas Maneiro in 3 sets
Suggested Bet: Over 20.5 Total Games – Both players are in form, and momentum shifts are likely to stretch this one out.

Alexander Zverev
🎢 Opened slow vs De Jong but steadied himself to win in four sets.
📉 Entered RG with inconsistent clay form—lost several close matches earlier in 2025.
🏛️ Roland Garros record: Has reached the second week every year since 2017, including four straight SFs and 2024 final.
🔁 One of the most consistent Slam performers on tour with 77 Slam wins since 2020.
🧠 Improved focus in R2 was a much-needed positive after early-season mental wobbles.
Flavio Cobolli
🔥 Fresh off titles in Bucharest and Hamburg—entering Paris on a hot streak.
🎯 Beat Matteo Arnaldi in straight sets to reach his first Slam R3.
🧱 While 0–8 vs top-10, he’s held his own against top-20 (7–7)—showing rising confidence.
🚧 Could face fatigue after a long clay swing, but is playing his best tennis in 2025.
📈 Currently ranked #26, with a real shot at top 20 if he wins here.
Zverev is built for clay battles: big serve, rock-solid backhand, and elite movement for his size. While he often starts slow, he typically locks in once he’s settled into the match.
Cobolli is younger, hungrier, and confident after recent titles, but has never beaten a top-10 player. He will need to play aggressive, flawless tennis and hope Zverev dips mentally—something the German is capable of under pressure.
Still, Zverev’s five-set experience and Roland Garros pedigree should help him absorb any early storm and come through.
Prediction: Zverev in 4 sets
Suggested Bet: Over 34.5 Games – Cobolli can steal a set or push a tiebreak, but Zverev likely wins the war of attrition.
Veronika Kudermetova
🚪 Ended Paris woes: After two straight first-round losses, she’s turned the tide with impressive wins—especially dropping just 3 games against 2021 champion Krejcikova.
🔋 Clay fire rekindled: Scored her first top-15 win on red clay in over two years.
📈 Solid Slam form: Reached R4 at AO and now R3 here—showing consistency across majors.
🧠 Focused and calm: Playing clean, assertive tennis—possibly her best on clay since 2022.
Ekaterina Alexandrova
🏗️ Searching for a Slam breakthrough: Fourth R3 appearance in Paris but yet to reach week two.
🔥 Clay hot streak: Reached semifinals in Charleston & Stuttgart, and R4 in Madrid.
📉 Slam barrier: Just 1–8 in Slam third-round matches throughout her career.
💣 Power game on point: Her flatter strokes have clicked surprisingly well on clay in recent weeks.
This all-Russian duel pits Kudermetova’s revitalized all-court game against Alexandrova’s explosive, aggressive baseline style. Kudermetova’s dismantling of Krejcikova proves her readiness, while Alexandrova has shown sustained clay excellence this spring.
Their H2H stands at 3–3, showing how closely matched they are. However, Kudermetova has been more reliable in Grand Slam pressure moments, while Alexandrova continues to search for consistency in second-week appearances.
Prediction: Kudermetova in 3 sets.
Suggested Bet: Over 20.5 Games – both players are in form and have contrasting styles that could lead to a long, momentum-shifting battle.
Elsa Jacquemot
📈 Breakthrough week: Just 3 career WTA main draw wins before this tournament—now into her first third round.
🎯 Paris magic: Defeated former semifinalist Maria Sakkari and then survived Parks in a gritty three-setter.
🏆 Junior memories: 2020 French Open junior champion now fulfilling that early promise on the same courts.
🇫🇷 Home crowd lift: Riding the emotional wave of support from French fans at every step.
Lois Boisson
🦿 Inspirational return: Out for 9 months due to an ACL tear—now enjoying a stunning comeback.
🚀 Shockwave wins: Back-to-back career-defining victories over Mertens and Kalinina.
🧱 Surface specialist: 40+ clay wins since 2024 and two recent ITF finals—clearly at home on the dirt.
🔥 Quiet contender: First WTA-level main draw win came just weeks ago—now one win from the second week of a Slam.
This is a clash of timing and form between two surging French prospects. Jacquemot brings power and promise but still carries inconsistencies typical of someone new to the WTA main stage. Boisson, in contrast, looks settled, tactically wise, and physically sharp despite her recent return from injury.
With both players born just days apart in May 2005, this is more than a tennis match—it’s a duel of futures, shaped by home soil passion and personal grit. Expect long rallies, emotional swings, and a fiercely contested fight for a milestone second-week breakthrough.
Prediction: Boisson in 3 sets.
Suggested Bet: Over 21.5 Games – both players are playing with heart, and a tight battle seems likely.
Jannik Sinner
🧊 Ice-cold precision: Dispatched Gasquet with a brutal bagel in his farewell match.
🔥 Slam heater: On a 16-match Grand Slam win streak, with titles at US Open 2024 and Australian Open 2025.
📈 Historic run: 43–2 in Slams since RG 2024—only Alcaraz and Medvedev have stopped him.
🧠 Composed dominance: Unflappable mentality, flawless execution, and clay patience to match.
Jiri Lehecka
🩹 Rebuilding: Missed this event last year but returns healthy—took advantage of a soft draw.
🎯 Top-10 trouble: 0–11 in sets vs Top-10 players at Slams since AO 2023.
💥 Occasional flashes: Beat Alcaraz in Doha but lacks consistency to do it across five sets.
⚠️ Facing the mountain: Lost all 3 previous meetings vs Sinner without winning a set.
Lehecka has tools—powerful forehand, clean timing, athleticism—but his game isn’t built to hold up against someone as clinical and consistent as Sinner on clay. The Czech often fades after strong starts, and that will cost him dearly against a player who thrives in physical, extended rallies.
Sinner is currently in a tier of his own when not facing Alcaraz. He’s locked in mentally and physically, returning better than ever, and using the red dirt to construct points patiently. He’s won their three previous matches without dropping a set, and this Paris clash seems unlikely to buck the trend.
Prediction: Sinner in 3 sets.
Suggested Bet: Under 29.5 Games – Expect a clean, controlled performance from the world No. 1 with minimal resistance.
Jessica Pegula
😬 Not exactly dominant: Straight-set wins over Wang and Ann Li, but both matches featured shaky moments.
📉 Euro-clay woes: Charleston was solid, but since switching continents, her momentum has dipped.
🚪 Paris plateau: Has never reached the second week at Roland-Garros—will this be the breakthrough?
Marketa Vondrousova
🔙 Returning from injury: Playing her first event since February, and already showing fight.
🧗♀️ Built tough: Came from behind in both matches—defeated Selekhmeteva and upset seeded Frech.
🏆 Slam credentials: Wimbledon champion, Roland-Garros finalist (2019), and QF last year.
📉 Ranking on the line: Needs a run here to avoid a major fall in the rankings.
Vondrousova may lack match play, but she doesn’t lack pedigree. Her lefty spin, variety, and feel for the court give her a natural edge on clay—especially against a rhythm-based opponent like Pegula. The Czech’s drop shots, angles, and change of pace are tailor-made to disrupt the American's flat strokes.
Pegula is steady, mentally tough, and one of the most consistent top-10 players. But against Vondrousova’s shot-making and clay IQ, she’ll need to be more proactive and aggressive—traits she hasn’t fully shown yet in this tournament.
Prediction: Vondrousova in 3 sets.
Suggested Bet: Over 21.5 Games – Both players are solid returners, and their styles should lead to long, grinding sets.

Mirra Andreeva
🎯 Third time lucky? Not quite—already into her third consecutive R3 at RG.
🔥 Form of her life: 29–7 on the season, with WTA 1000 titles and deep clay results (Madrid QF, Rome QF).
💪 Paris dominance: Semifinalist last year, has yet to drop more than 4 games in any set this week.
📈 Top-10 arrival: One of the youngest ever to achieve this, and she’s earned every bit of it.
Yulia Putintseva
🧗♀️ Survivalist tennis: Back-to-back three-setters, including comebacks vs Sierra and Garland.
⚠️ Major concern: 4–8 career record in Grand Slam third rounds; rarely clears this hurdle.
🧱 Defensive grind: Tough to put away, but limited by lack of power and streaky baseline execution.
📉 Elite struggles: 0–11 vs top-6 on clay—a glaring weakness heading into this battle.
This match looks like a case of form vs survival. Andreeva is operating at a level Putintseva has not encountered this season. The Russian’s ability to mix depth, angles, and offense is built to break down defensive players like Putintseva—who has already spent far more time on court than ideal.
Unless Andreeva suffers a dip in intensity or gets baited into long, passive rallies, this should remain one-sided. The Kazakh veteran may hang tough early, but she hasn’t shown the tools to sustain pressure over two sets.
Prediction: Andreeva in straight sets.
Suggested Bet: Andreeva -5.5 games – She’s been clinical and should dominate once she settles in.
Tallon Griekspoor
🎲 Finally a favorable draw: Back-to-back wins over Giron and Diallo without dropping a set.
📉 Slam ceiling: 0–4 in Grand Slam third rounds, though usually against higher-ranked opposition.
💪 Clay confidence: Baseline game has matured, and he’s grown more comfortable grinding on slower surfaces.
🏆 Big chance: Best draw he’s ever had at a Slam to finally crack the second week.
Ethan Quinn
🍀 Lucky break: Advanced via Dimitrov’s R1 retirement, followed by solid R2 win.
📈 On the rise: From outside top 200 to top 100 in six months—momentum is real.
🔨 Still raw: Big game, but clay movement and point construction are works in progress.
🔄 New kid on the block: Still chasing Slam experience and consistency over five sets.
Griekspoor enters this match with experience, clay-court composure, and a golden opportunity. Quinn’s rise has been impressive, but his inexperience on red dirt may cost him in longer rallies and tight moments. Expect Griekspoor to play with margin, stretch the court, and avoid unnecessary risks—perfect tactics against a still-developing opponent.
Prediction: Griekspoor in straight sets.
Suggested Bet: Griekspoor -1.5 sets – The Dutchman is unlikely to let this golden chance slip.
