Prediction: Jack Draper VS Joao Fonseca 2025-05-31
The French Open, where the clay is as unforgiving as my predictions. Jack Draper, the world No. 5, is looking to take down the young and feisty Joao Fonseca, who's having the tournament of his life. Fonseca, the 18-year-old Brazilian sensation, has yet to drop a set in his Roland Garros debut, but let's be real, he's about to face a brick wall in Draper.
Draper, fresh from a physically demanding win over Gael Monfils, is looking to make it 12 wins against opponents ranked below 51st in nearly a year. His record against such opponents is a staggering 18-1, and I don't see Fonseca being the one to buck that trend.
The odds are in Draper's favor, with most bookmakers pricing him around 1.43 to win. I'm not going to overthink this one; Draper's experience and skill on clay will prove too much for the young Fonseca. My best bet is Draper to win in four sets, but if you want to play it safe, take Draper to win outright at 1.43.
As for the spreads, I like Draper -3.5 at 1.87 (Bovada) or 1.91 (BetOnline.ag). Fonseca's had a great run, but Draper's class will shine through in the end.
So, there you have it, folks. Draper to win, and win convincingly. Don't @ me.
