Read on for Jon Reid's betting analysis of the fourth round French Open match between Holger Rune and Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Conserving energy in that third round could come in handy for the Greek, as Rune has had red flags pop up regarding his fitness his whole career. His serve and forehand have not been in question this tournament, even in the nervier matches early on. The best way to take a position that he keeps things close? It could be argued this is the best he’s looked at a tournament in his career. Now, that is just one writer’s opinion, but this one – at least early on – has the potential to be a “popcorn match.” Even more so than his title run in Munich at the end of April.

Tsitsipas plays his best match at the tournament and seals a last-16 ticket.

Tsitsipas struggled in his first two matches but was able to win. The exactly same scenario was seen in the second set as Ymer led 2-1, before Tsitsipas won five consecutive games to open a two-set lead. “[There were] a lot of good rallies from my side," Tsitsipas said in his on-court interview, per the ATP website.
