Prediction: Qinwen Zheng VS Emiliana Arango 2025-05-28
The French Open is heating up, and we've got a fascinating matchup between Qinwen Zheng, the current Olympic gold medalist, and Emiliana Arango, the plucky Colombian who just made her main draw debut with a win over Alexandra Eala.
Let's look at the stats: Zheng is on a seven-match winning streak in Paris, which is no joke. Arango, on the other hand, had a solid debut, winning 62% of her first-serve points and 54% of her first-return points. However, she struggled with break points, saving only 50% of them.
Now, let's talk odds. According to the bookmakers, Zheng is a heavy favorite, with odds ranging from 1.02 to 1.04 across different platforms. Arango, meanwhile, is a significant underdog, with odds between 12.0 and 13.0.
Given these stats and odds, my best bet for this matchup is Qinwen Zheng to win, but I think Arango can push her to at least two sets. The spread market is interesting, with most bookmakers offering Zheng -7.5 games. I'd take Arango +7.5 games at 1.95 (Bovada) or 1.7 (LowVig.ag), as I think she can keep it relatively close.
As for the total games, I'd lean towards the Over 17.5 games at 1.94 (Bovada) or 2.06 (LowVig.ag), considering Arango's ability to push sets and Zheng's dominance on the court.
So, there you have it - Qinwen Zheng to win, but Emiliana Arango to cover the spread and potentially push the total games over 17.5. Vive la France, and let's get ready for some exciting tennis!
Best Bet: Emiliana Arango +7.5 games at 1.95 (Bovada) or 1.7 (LowVig.ag)
