by

Key Highlights

  • Juan Manuel Cerundolo is an underdog in Round 4 of the French Open.
  • Cerundolo beat Jannik Sinner and Martin Landaluce to reach this round.
  • Matteo Berrettini made quarterfinals at French Open in 2021, U.S. Open in 2022.
  • Bet on the OVER 38.5 games as Cerundolo and Berrettini are likely to play long matches.

Upset Underdog vs. Experienced Challenger

Juan Manuel Cerundolo is no stranger to upsets, having dispatched world No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the second round of this year’s French Open. His latest victory over Martin Landaluce in a five-setter has seen him advance to Round 4, where he’ll face 30-year-old Matteo Berrettini.

While Cerundolo’s journey to Roland Garros is nothing short of remarkable, Berrettini brings a wealth of experience. His last appearance at the French Open was in 2021 when he reached the quarterfinals.

He also made it to the U.S. Open quarterfinals in 2022, suggesting his form has been inconsistent in Grand Slam tournaments since.

Oddsmakers and Predictions

The betting odds favor Berrettini: +134 for Cerundolo and -164 for Berrettini. The total games over/under is set at 38.5, with the under (115) and over (125) being slightly more balanced.

Despite being an underdog, I predict this match to go four or more sets. Over the past matches in the tournament, both players have shown a propensity for long, grueling contests. Cerundolo’s back-to-back five-setters are likely to catch up with him, while Berrettini could be returning to his peak form.

Watch Out for the OVER

Given that both players have played numerous games already—Cerundolo 34 in Round 1 and 62 in Round 3, while Berrettini has had four sets go to a tiebreaker—I believe this match will exceed the total of 38.5 games.

Bet on the OVER 38.5 Games (-115 at DraftKings). It’s been hitting consistently in recent matches between these two, and it seems like a safe bet for those looking to back the over. Remember, this is Peter Dewey from Sports Illustrated Betting, sharing my insights.

Final Thoughts

You might think this is new, but history suggests long matches are likely. Stay tuned as both players show no signs of letting up. The French Open never fails to deliver memorable moments, and this matchup could be one of them.
