Prop Bets: Carlos Alcaraz VS Tommy Paul 2025-06-03

The stage is set for a thrilling quarterfinal matchup at the French Open, as defending champion Carlos Alcaraz takes on 12th seed Tommy Paul. Alcaraz, the heavy favorite with odds ranging from 1.07 to 1.09 across various bookmakers, is looking to continue his title defense. However, Paul has been a formidable opponent in the past, and their head-to-head record stands at 4-2 in Alcaraz's favor.

Given the competitive nature of their previous matches, it's no surprise that the over/under for total games is set at 32.5 or 33.0, with prices ranging from 1.83 to 1.95 for the over and 1.80 to 1.91 for the under. Alcaraz has allowed at least four aces in three of his first four matches, and Paul has allowed more than five aces per match, making the over 6.5 aces prop bet an intriguing option at -138.

As for the match itself, Alcaraz is expected to come out on top, but Paul's determination to reach his maiden quarterfinal at the French Open could make for a closely contested affair. With Alcaraz's odds to win ranging from -750 to -800 (implied probability of 85-88%), it's clear that the bookmakers are backing the defending champion to advance. However, Paul's +550 to +700 underdog odds might tempt some brave bettors to take a chance on the upset.

In the end, it's likely that Alcaraz's experience and skill will prove too much for Paul, but the American's fighting spirit could push the match to four or five sets. If you're feeling bold, consider taking the over on total games or the over 6.5 aces prop bet, but if you're playing it safe, Alcaraz to win in four sets might be the way to go.
