The Grandstand previews the most intriguing Tuesday matchups at the French Open with overviews and predictions for Sebastian Korda vs. Jenson Brooksby and Reilly Opelka vs. Mariano Navone.
(23) Sebastian Korda vs. Jenson Brooksby
Match Overview
- American Sebastian Korda (world No. 23) vs. American Jenson Brooksby (world No. 161)
- Date: 28-05-2025
- Surface: Clay
- Grand Slam: Champion gets 2000 points
Why This Match Matters
Jenson Brooksby is far better than his 161st ranking would suggest. The 24-year-old is still clawing his way back up the rankings from a suspension due to missed drug tests. Korda will still be favored, but this should be on your list of possible upsets for Tuesday.
Key Stats
- This is the first meeting between Korda and Brooksby
- Brooksby recently won the title in Houston on clay
- Korda’s record on the season is 10-9; Brooksby’s is 8-4
Odds and Prediction
Betting odds: Sebastian Korda (-350) Jenson Brooksby (+260)
Cheryl pick: Korda in 5
Ricky pick: Brooksby in 5
Reilly Opelka vs. Mariano Navone
Match Overview
- American Reilly Opelka (world No. 93) vs. Argentinian Mariano Navone (world No. 97)
Why This Match Matters
This could be a fairly even matchup but with an interesting contrast in styles. Opelka is one of the tallest players on tour at 6 feet 11 inches against a baseline retriever. The heavy, wet forecast on Wednesday will be a nod in favor of the Argentine.
Key Stats
- This is the first meeting between Opelka and Navone
- Neither player has won a title this season
- Navone has split his playing time between the ATP tour and the Challenger circuit
Odds and Prediction
Betting odds: Reilly Opelka (+280), Mariano Navone (-380)
Cheryl pick: Navone in 4
Ricky pick: Navone in 3
