Best French Open Tennis Betting Tips Today: Marin Cilic v Roger Federer
French Open Tennis betting tips today starts with the big match of the day.
Roger Federer looked in decent shape in his opening match at the 2021 French Open.
He was up against Denis Istomin and cruised through in straight sets.
The Grand Slam great hadn’t played at Roland Garros since 2019 but the 39-year-old put in a decent effort on his return.
That fixture against Istomin was the first in 16 months for Federer as well, so he’s clearly been working hard behind the scenes.
Cilic took a straight-sets win over Arthur Rinderknech in the first round.
There have been some bright moments for Cilic this season, reaching the round of sixteen at the ATP Masters 1000 Miami and getting to the semi-finals of Estoril on clay.
But by the same token, there have been hugely disappointing results by the Croatian.
This is a tough early trial for Federer and it may not be a surprise to see Cilic take at least a set.
Federer 3-1 correct score at 11/4

French Open Tennis Betting Picks Today: Cameron Norrie v Lloyd Harris
It’s second-round action for Brit Cameron Norrie next for French Open Tennis betting for today.

He went to the Round of 32 at the ATP Masters 1000 Rome after coming through qualifying.
Then he took things to the next level reaching the Final of Lyon, France.
He was beaten there by Stefanos Tsitsipas, but still, it was a fantastic effort.
In the second round of Lyon, Norrie beat Domini Thiem in straight sets and only dropped two games against Karen Khachanov in the semi’s.
South Africa’s Lloyd Harris did reach the Final of Dubai earlier this season having started in the first qualifying round.
He missed out on the title, but that was a huge run.

The home crowd have Caroline Garcia to cheer on and she is a favourite for this contest.

Garcia has dropped one set only in her four previous contests with Hercog.
Garcia is W4 L3 on clay this season, not having made a huge impact anywhere.
