#### French Open Picks & Predictions (Friday, May 30)
*Odds as of May 30 at Caesars.*
#### Frances Tiafoe vs Sebastian Korda Prediction
– **Pick: Over 40.5 games (-110)**
Sebastian Korda has dominated this rivalry recently, winning the last three matches, dropping only one set to Tiafoe. However, Tiafoe, aged 27, did win their only clay encounter in three sets in 2022.
#### Tiafoe vs Korda H2H Results
Tiafoe has won his initial two matches in straight sets against Roman Safiullin and Pablo Carreno Busta but has had an inconsistent season, advancing past the second round only once outside of his finals appearance at the US Men’s Clay Court Championship.
Korda hasn’t fared much better. After reaching the Adelaide International final early in the season, he’s had only one quarterfinal in his last nine outings.
One of them will progress, but it will require a tough battle.
#### Lorenzo Musetti vs Mariano Navone Prediction
– **Pick: Navone +7.5 games (+500)**
This match could be closer than the stats suggest. Lorenzo Musetti, a clay court regular, has been halted in semifinals by Carlos Alcaraz in Rome, Jack Draper in Madrid, and Alcaraz again in the Monte Carlo finals. Ranked eighth, he seems set for a deep run in Paris.
For 24-year-old Argentinian Mariano Navone to stay competitive, his past performance against Musetti might offer hope; he’s 1-1 in their meetings, having beaten Musetti in straight sets last year at Cagliari on clay.
Navone’s had a tough season, rarely advancing beyond Round 2, but he showed grit by defeating no. 28 Brandon Nakashima in four sets in the first round. Musetti should advance, but the odds favor Navone keeping it close.
#### Holger Rune vs Quentin Halys Prediction
– **Pick: Over 35.5 games (-120)**
Since winning the Barcelona Open in April, Holger Rune, after defeating Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets, has suffered early exits in Madrid and Rome. At Roland Garros, he won both his matches but struggled past Roberto Agut in four sets and needed a tiebreak against Emilio Nava.
Quentin Halys advanced past the first round due to Tomas Machac’s retirement and beat Miomir Kecmanovic in four sets. He aims to reach beyond Round 3 for the first time since a semifinal run in Dubai.
Their only previous meeting at Wimbledon in 2024 was a long battle, with Rune coming out on top, surpassing the 35.5 games line easily.
#### Tommy Paul vs Karen Khachanov Prediction
– **Pick: Paul ML (+110)**
Tommy Paul has had a promising season, reaching at least the quarterfinals in five tournaments. Despite this, he’s been challenged in both rounds at Roland Garros, needing four sets against Elmer Moller and five to beat Marton Fucsovics.
Paul has twice defeated Karen Khachanov, including on clay in Madrid’s third round. Paul boasts a 10-3 clay record this year, while Khachanov is 9-5, coming off a grueling five-set win against Sebastian Ofner.
Despite Paul’s struggles, he is favored to extend his winning streak against Khachanov.
