Prediction: Arantxa Rus VS Clara Tauson 2025-05-28
The French Open is heating up, and we've got a intriguing matchup between Arantxa Rus and Clara Tauson. Tauson, the 22nd seed, is looking to build on her impressive season, which includes a title win and a finals appearance on hard court. However, her clay court record has been a mixed bag, with only two wins in six matches.
Rus, on the other hand, pulled off a surprise win over Camila Osorio in the first round, and she'll be looking to ride that momentum into this match. But let's be real, Tauson is the clear favorite here, with odds ranging from 1.17 to 1.21 across various bookmakers.
Tauson's aggressive playing style and powerful forehand should give Rus fits, especially considering Rus's tendency to struggle against top-tier opponents. In their head-to-head matchup, I'm predicting Tauson to come out on top, likely in straight sets.
Best bet: Clara Tauson to win (-4.5 games) at 1.72 (BetRivers) or 1.87 (Bovada). This bet offers a decent margin of error, considering Tauson's dominance on the court. Even if Rus manages to take a set, Tauson's overall skill and experience should still allow her to cover the spread.
As for the total games, I'm leaning towards the under (20.5 games) at 1.78 (BetRivers) or 1.91 (Bovada). Tauson's ability to dominate sets and Rus's potential struggles to keep up should result in a relatively quick match.
So, there you have it – Tauson to win and the under on total games. Now, let's see if these two players can bring the heat on the clay courts of Roland-Garros!
