Prediction: Mariano Navone VS Reilly Opelka 2025-05-28

The 2025 French Open is heating up, and we've got a fascinating matchup between Mariano Navone and Reilly Opelka. Navone, the young gun, is riding high after taking down Brandon Nakashima in the first round, while Opelka is looking to bounce back from a potentially tough opening match.

Let's get to the stats: Navone is a significant favorite across all bookmakers, with odds ranging from 1.26 to 1.29. Opelka, on the other hand, is a sizable underdog, with prices between 3.65 and 3.9. The spread is also in Navone's favor, with most bookies offering -4.5 or -5.0 games.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "Reilly Opelka is a big server, can't he take down Navone?" And to that, I say, "Not so fast, my friend." Navone has shown impressive form, and his victory over Nakashima was no fluke. He's got the skills and the confidence to take down Opelka.

My best bet for this matchup is Mariano Navone to win outright, priced at 1.29 on FanDuel. I'm also tempted by the spread, but I think Navone will win in straight sets, making the -4.5 or -5.0 games a bit too risky.

So, there you have it: Navone to win, and win big. Don't @ me when Opelka's big serve can't save him from the young Argentine's onslaught.

Best Bet: Mariano Navone to win outright (1.29 on FanDuel)
