### 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 their recent meetings, winning the last three encounters and dropping just one set to Frances Tiafoe. However, Tiafoe has the sole clay victory, defeating Korda in three sets in 2022.

#### Tiafoe vs Korda H2H Results

Tiafoe has advanced by defeating Roman Safiullin and Pablo Carreno Busta in straight sets, although it’s been a challenging season for him, with just one deep tournament run. Korda has also had an underwhelming season, with only a QF appearance following his Adelaide International final. A hard-fought match is anticipated.

### Lorenzo Musetti vs. Mariano Navone Prediction

– **Pick: Navone +7.5 games (+500)**

This match might be closer than statistics suggest. Lorenzo Musetti, a clay court regular, has faced setbacks against top players like Carlos Alcaraz and Jack Draper. Mariano Navone, a 24-year-old Argentine, knocked off no. 28 Brandon Nakashima in four sets in Round 1. Navone holds a past victory over Musetti on clay, making for an intriguing matchup. Musetti is expected to advance, but Navone could keep it tight.

### Holger Rune vs. Quentin Halys Prediction

– **Pick: Over 35.5 games (-120)**

After winning the Barcelona Open, Holger Rune struggled with early exits in Madrid and Rome. He’s won both Roland Garros matches, but they’ve been demanding. Quentin Halys advanced past Round 1 after Tomas Machac retired and defeated Miomir Kecmanovic in four sets. The only previous meeting between Rune and Halys went the distance at Wimbledon in 2024, suggesting an intense match is likely.

### Tommy Paul vs. Karen Khachanov Prediction

– **Pick: Paul ML (+110)**

Tommy Paul, who has reached the quarterfinals in five tournaments this year, has endured challenging matches, rallying from two sets down against Marton Fucsovics. Paul has beaten Karen Khachanov twice, including on clay in Madrid. Although Khachanov overcame a five-set battle in his last match, Paul’s record against him suggests a continued winning streak.
