Prop Bets: Paula Badosa VS Daria Kasatkina 2025-05-31

The stage is set for a thrilling matchup between Daria Kasatkina and Paula Badosa at the French Open. Kasatkina, who's been adopted by Australian fans, is looking to make a statement, while Badosa is seeking to overcome her chronic back injury and make a deep run in the tournament.

As Kasatkina herself joked, she might "s*** her pants" when representing Australia at the Australian Open next January, but for now, she's focused on taking down Badosa. The two players have a history, having split their six career encounters and their two clashes on clay.

The odds are in Badosa's favor, with FanDuel listing her as the favorite at 1.54, while Kasatkina is at 2.52. The spread is also leaning towards Badosa, with BetRivers offering -2.5 at 1.79. The over/under for the match is set at 21.5, with BetOnline.ag offering 1.98 for over and 1.85 for under.

In terms of player props, it's worth keeping an eye on the total games played, as both players have been involved in some grueling matches recently. Badosa's match against Elena-Gabriela Ruse lasted 2 hours and 21 minutes, while Kasatkina's match against Leolia Jeanjean was a relatively quick 1 hour and 39 minutes.

My prediction? Badosa's experience and determination will give her the edge she needs to take down Kasatkina. I'm taking Badosa to win at 1.54, and the under 21.5 at 1.85. But don't count out Kasatkina just yet – she's got the skills and the momentum to pull off an upset. It's going to be a wild ride, folks!
