Sinner vs Muller Prediction & Pick

Oddsmakers are predicting another one-sided affair, listing Sinner as the heavy favorite. That isn't too shocking, though. Muller has made it to either the quarterfinals or fourth round in each of the last three French Opens, whereas Muller couldn't even survive last year's qualification round.

Furthermore, Sinner has found success on clay courts, going 22-6 (78.6%) on the surface since the start of 2022. Although Muller has played over 300 clay-court matchups over his career, his 57.8% winning percentage (37-27) over the last two years leaves much to be desired.

Sinner's career is on the upswing and he's done a good job at avoiding early exits at Roland Garros in the past. Muller's clay experience might see him take one set, but this is clearly the favorite's matchup to lose.

Winner: Jannik Sinner.

Sinner vs Muller Best Bet

Unfortunately, the moneyline is the only betting option at the moment, making a Sinner outright win at -4000 odds the best bet for now, but it's obviously tough to get overly excited about betting $100 just to win $2.50.
