French Open Alcaraz-Sinner Head-to-Head Notes
Carlos Alcaraz (-144) opened as the betting favorite over Jannik Sinner (+118) for their semifinal matchup at the French Open. Sinner has dropped one set all tournament, coughing up the first to Corentin Moutet. Alcaraz dropped one to Jesper De Jong.
Sinner, a 22-year-old Italian, and Alcaraz, a 21-year-old Spaniard, are seen as the future of men’s tennis, especially as the careers of Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer come to a close. In head-to-head meetings, Alcaraz and Sinner are are 4-4, with Alcaraz winning the last meeting between the two at Indian Wells earlier this year.
But we’re on the clay courts of Roland Garros for this one, and Sinner is 1-0 against Alcaraz on clay. He beat him in the finals of the Croatia Open Umag in 2022. Alcaraz owns the better raw clay Elo rating, per Tennis Abstract, but — at least as of May 27 — trailed Sinner in adjusted clay Elo rating.
Alcaraz began the tournament as the favorite at odds of +225 at FanDuel, which have since shortened to +105. Sinner was trading at +400 as recently as May 21, but he now clocks in at +210. Whoever wins the semifinal meeting between these players is likely to open as a substantial favorite to win in finals, with Zverev (+550), Ruud (+550) and de Minaur (+3000) all clocking in with worse odds.
