The third round of the ATP French Open on May 30 features several players with strong momentum in important clay court battles. Francisco Cerundolo looks well positioned against Zachary Svajda after two solid wins in Paris, while Flavio Cobolli aims to continue his impressive form against the in-form Learner Tien. Matteo Berrettini also enters his clash with Francisco Comesana as the fresher player after a convincing performance in the second round.
ATP French Open 1/16-Finals
Cerundolo – Svajda: 05/30/2026 11:00 CEST
H2H: 1-1
Francisco Cerundolo has won three of his last five games. The Argentine defeated van de Zandschulp in the first round in four sets after playing almost four hours. In the second round, Cerundolo defeated Gastón in four sets.
Zachary Svajda has won three of his last five games. This week in Paris, Svajda surprised Popyrin in the opening match. After losing the first set, the American leveled up and turned the match around, winning in four sets. In the second round, Svajda defeated Walton in four sets.
The best bet to make
According to the bookmakers, Cerundolo is the clear favorite in this matchup and we agree. He is a much better clay court player than Svajda and we expect a clear victory in straight sets.
That said, Cerundolo winning in straight sets is a value bet.
Value bet/best odds: Francisco Cerundolo winning 3-0 @1.62 @bet365
Cobolli – Ten: 05/30/2026 12:00 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Flavio Cobolli has won three of his last five games. This week in Paris, the Italian defeated Pellegrino in the first round in straight sets. In the second round, the Italian defeated Wu in straight sets. He was down 0-2 in the second set, but he turned it around.
Learner Tien has won six consecutive matches. This week at the French Open, Tien defeated Garin in four sets in the first round. In the second round, the American turned the match around against Díaz Acosta after losing 1-2.
The best bet to make
According to the bookmakers, Cobolli is the favorite in this matchup and we agree. He dominated in both matches this week and is a better clay court player than Tien. We hope he dominates the rallies.
That said, Cobolli covering the game handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/best odds: Flavio Cobolli -3.5 games handicap @1.80 @bet365
Berrettini – Comesana: 05/30/2026 13:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Matteo Berrettini has won three of his last five games. This week in Paris, Berrettini defeated Fucsovics in the first round in four sets, after losing the first set. In the second round, the Italian comfortably defeated Rinderknech in two sets.
Francisco Comesana has won four of his last five games. This week at the French Open, Comesana defeated Quinn in three tight sets in the first round. He saved a set point in the second set. In the second round, Comesana defeated Darderi in five tight sets.
The best bet to make
According to the bookmakers, Berrettini is the favorite in this matchup and we agree. He played well in both games and hasn’t spent many hours on the court. On the other hand, Comesana played a tough five-set match and will have heavy legs.
That said, Berrettini covering the game handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/best odds: Matteo Berrettini -4.5 games handicap @1.91 @bet365
