She will face a familiar foe in Iga Swiatek, who&#8217;s proven very difficult to beat at Roland Garros in her career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my French Open predictions for the June 5 semifinal matches, featuring a pick on Lois Boisson vs. Coco Gauff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">French Open predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best bet: Swiatek to win (+116)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this epic semifinal clash between two of the best, I&#8217;ll back Swiatek as the underdog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>She is the best women&#8217;s player on clay, as demonstrated by her 148-21 record on the surface.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sabalenka is good on clay (16-2 in 2025), but her 93-41 career record falls well short of her counterpart.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Swiatek has been extremely successful at Roland Garros, winning four of the past five French Opens (2020, 2022-24).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both women have cruised to this point in the competition. They have combined to lose one set, so I have to back the better clay better with the better head-to-head history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Swiatek has owned Sabalenka on clay, winning five of their six career meetings on the surface. Additionally, she won 11 of the 14 possible sets in those matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Go to full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/event\/1023843784\">French Open betting markets<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best women&#8217;s quarterfinal tennis pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Boisson\/Gauff under 20.5 games (-118):<\/strong> Boisson, fueled by the crowd&#8217;s energy in her home country, pulled off a colossal upset over the No. 6-ranked Mirra Andreeva in the quarterfinal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The French player entered the competition as the 361st-ranked women&#8217;s player. She&#8217;s on a Cinderella run, but I think it comes to an end on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gauff is simply at another level right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>She continues to improve on her 77-29 record on clay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>She&#8217;s won 10 of her 11 sets at the 2025 French Open.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The one set she lost came against Madison Keys in the quarterfinal. She&#8217;s the No. 8-ranked player and won the Australian Open earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boisson is a promising young player who does her best work on clay (104-40 record), but Gauff is cut from a different cloth and should be able to win the match comfortably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gauff is -155 to win in straight sets, so I&#8217;d rather back her by taking the under in a match at better value since I expect her to dominate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>French Open predictions made at 3:08 p.m. on 06\/04\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The French Open reaches the semifinal stage, and the world&#8217;s best women&#8217;s players are going head to head.
