The ATP French Open final on June 7 features an intriguing clash between tournament favourite Alexander Zverev and breakthrough star Flavio Cobolli. Zverev has looked dominant throughout most of the tournament and enters the final with valuable Grand Slam experience. At the same time, Cobolli arrives full of confidence after an impressive run that included several big wins on clay. With both players chasing the biggest title of their careers, an exciting final is expected in Paris.

Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Cobolli is the heavy underdog in this final, but we disagree. Zverev has the biggest chance to win the Grand Slam title, and he usually crumbles under pressure when it’s important. Cobolli on clay already showed that he can win against the German. We expect the Italian to keep this match close.
That being said, Cobolli covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Flavio Cobolli +5.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365
