Tennis Betting Tips: This feels like Zverev’s big chance

It's semi-final time in the men's draw at Roland Garros, which will be the focus for my Tennis Betting Tips for 5 June 2026.

The final four in Paris consists of Jakub Mensik vs Alexander Zverev and Matteo Arnaldi vs Flavio Cobolli.

Set Betting - Alexander Zverev 3-1 (vs Jakub Mensik) @ 12/5

Most of the pressure heading into Friday's semi-final clash will be on Zverev, as he'll never get a better chance to win that elusive maiden Slam.

To be fair to the German, he's hardly put a foot wrong so far, and I think it's worth backing him to win in four sets against Mensik, who may feel the nerves of the moment.

A straight-sets victory over Rafael Jodar in the quarter-finals put Zverev in good stead heading into this contest, and while there's a ton of momentum behind Mensik, I still think the 29-year-old prevails here.

Mensik has played a lot more tennis than Zverev, meaning that the German will be fresher, and the latter also has plenty of experience at this stage of tournaments.

Set Betting - Flavio Cobolli 3-1 (vs Matteo Arnaldi) @ 11/4

Arnaldi has logged more court time to reach a major semi-final than any other player since the ATP began tracking matches in 1991. I'm tired just thinking about that...

The Italian's extensive time on court could be his undoing here as his opponent has dropped just two sets en route to this semi-final. The number 10 seed dispatched Felix Auger-Aliassime in four sets in their quarter-final, and I fancy him to win by the same margin against his compatriot on Friday

Arnaldi can make this match competitive, but ultimately Cobolli's lack of wear and tear should be the difference between the pair here.
