FanDuel DFS Tennis Picks - Studs to Pay For
NOVAK DJOKOVIC ($25) vs KAREN KHACHANOV
The world No. 1 will continue to headline the slate as he carries his unbeaten record in completed matches during the 2020 season into the round of 16 at the French Open against Khachanov, who is into the fourth round at the tournament for the fourth consecutive year. Djokovic will face his toughest test up-to-date as the second week gets underway, but the Serbian leads the head-t0-head (3-1) in four previous meetings on the tour. Djokovic is a strongly recommended option for Monday's slate of matches.
STEFANOS TSITSIPAS ($21) vs GRIGOR DIMITROV
Tsitsipas will have a chance to advance to the fourth round at the French Open for the first time in his career, and the No. 5 seed from Greece has bounced back nicely from his first-round five-setter against clay-court specialist Jaume Munar. Tsitsipas followed up the first round marathon with a pair of comfortable straight-set victories to book his place in the second week of the 2020 French Open. It will be the first meeting between the two top-20 players, but Dimitrov's historical struggles at the tournament could potentially play a role in the outcome of this round of 16 matchup.
ONS JABEUR ($18) vs DANIELLE COLLINS
Jabeur has had to battle in order to get to this stage of the 2020 French Open, with a couple of three-set victories in her first and third-round matches through the opening week of the tournament. The No. 30 seed from Tunisia has enjoyed a career year in which her ranking has climbed steadily to just outside the world's top 30 with multiple runs deep into tournaments, and her momentum from overcoming a tough match in the previous round against No. 8 seed Aryna Sabalenka gives her the edge for a place in the quarterfinals for the first time in her career.
FanDuel DFS Tennis Picks - Values
DANIEL ALTMAIER ($10) vs PABLO CARRENO BUSTA
The German qualifier has played some terrific tennis through the opening week of the main draw, and his performance has been headlined by the straight-sets victory in his third-round match against No. 7 seed Matteo Berrettini. Altmaier has played a high volume of matches on the clay in 2020, as he has produced a record of 29-11 to go along with two semifinal appearances on the challenger tour prior to the French Open. Considering Altmaier's success on the surface and the confidence he is carrying after defeating a top-1o player, the 22-year-old has a shot at providing an upset in the fourth round.
SHUAI ZHANG ($11) vs PETRA KVITOVA
The two players have played against each other five times previously, with Kvitova leading the head-to-head matchup 3-2. Zhang's strong play through the first week of the tournament could give her a legitimate chance against Kvitova, the two-time Grand Slam champion. Zhang defeated No. 12 seed Madison Keys in the first round and followed that up with victories against a pair of French players in Alize Cornet and Clara Burel, suggesting that her strong play through the first week could be the difference against Kvitova, who has not made it to the French Open quarterfinals since 2012.
