Best French Open Tennis Betting Tips Today: Novak Djokovic v Rafael Nadal
French Open Tennis betting tips today will start with the big one between Djokovic and Nadal.
Novak Djokovic moves through to yet another Grand Slam semi-final. Can he topple Nadal to get back to the French Open final?
Djokovic’s only title at the French Open happened in 2016.
He has lost the final of the tournament on four other occasions, including last year to Nadal.
It was a 3-1 set victory that Novak Djokovic took over Matteo Berrettini in the quarter-finals.
Djokovic had run out comfortably to a 2-0 lead before seeing his Italian opponent peg one back.
There was a little bit of a lapse there from him in the latter stages of that match.
In the fourth round, Djokovic had lost the opening two sets of his contest with young Lorenzo Musetti.
That only indicates that perhaps his defence is a little vulnerable on the clay in Paris this year.
Djokovic has already fallen to Nadal this year. They met recently in Rome and Nadal won in three sets.
The clay form between them is telling.
Nadal has won the last five meetings on the surface, including last year’s French Open Final.
Rafael Nadal moved through his quarter-final match against Diego Schwartzman with a 3-1 success.
That was the first set that he had dropped along the way to the final four.
The Spaniard has looked untroubled and he closed out that match against Schwartzman by not dropping a single game in the fourth set.
This is Roland Garros. This is Nadal territory.
Rafael Nadal 3-1 set betting at 11/4

French Open Tennis Betting Picks Today: Alexander Zverev v Stefanos Tsitsipas
French Open Tennis betting for today looks at the other semi-final from the men’s draw.
Despite being one of the top seeds, Alexander Zverev has been under the radar a bit in Paris.
But it has been a quiet and yet very strong campaign from the German.
He did have a wobble in the first round, needing to fight back from 2-0 down to claim the match win.
But he hasn’t looked back since then and looks to have found his feet on the clay.
Zverev has breezed through the last few rounds without breaking much of a sweat.
A favourable draw in the quarter-finals saw him cruise past Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, dropping just six games in total.
Things get tougher now against Stefanos Tsitsipas.
We haven’t seen Tsitsipas this dialled in and focused. His all-around game looks to have moved to another level.
Is this going to be the year for that Grand Slam title breakthrough? In the quarterfinals, Tsitsipas was up against second seed Daniil Medvedev.
That was no easy draw, but Tsitsipas was calm and imperious throughout the match, winning in straight sets.
This is a different Tsitsipas we are seeing and we think the Greek player gets through. He holds a 5-2 head to head lead over Zverev.
Tsitsipas to win at 4/9

Tennis Betting Tips for Today: Johanna Konta Alison Van Uytvanck
Today’s Tennis betting tips move on from the French Open to look at the grass action in Nottingham.
Johanna Konta is through to the quarter-finals as she looks to get her season going.
She has been troubled with injury for most of this. This is a good workout on the grass as she builds towards Wimbledon of course.
In the third round on Thursday, Konta did have a fight on her hands against Kateryna Kozlova.
Konta had breezed the first set, but then let the second one slip really easily before responding.
Things get tougher now in the quarter-finals as Konta faces Alison Van Uytvanck who is the 8th seed in Nottingham.
This is the second meeting between two players with Konta winning the previous one.
That was a long time ago, however, back in 2012 in Bath.
Belgium’s Van Uytvanck has won both of her matches at the Nottingham Open in straight sets, taking out the 10th seed in the last round.
Can she do the same to the top seed on Friday?
Even though Konta has been struggling for results this year, Van Uytvanck may not pick her off.
The Belgian was on a four-match losing streak in singles before hitting the grass here at Nottingham.
There’s been precious little form from her either.
We roll on with Konta who can sweep this if she keeps up her serve.
Johanna Konta to win at 8/15
