The WTA French Open tennis moves into the quarterfinals on Tuesday. This is from the bottom half of the draw, with the other two quarterfinals in the top half on Wednesday. The bottom half of the women’s tournament involves four players who have never reached a major final. One of them will finally get to the championship match, for the right to play for a prized trophy in tennis. The pressure is massive. The stakes are enormous. How these players handle stress will determine who moves on and who will fall short of a big opportunity. LWOS has our best bets for two matches on Tuesday. Post your best bets and thoughts in the comments.
H2H: 1-0
Mirra Andreeva faces Sorana-Mihaela Cirstea in a battle of young versus old. It’s the 19-year-old Andreeva against the 36-year-old Cirstea. Cirstea is set to retire at the end of the season. That would make this her final French Open. Reports this week indicated that Cirstea has no plans to change her retirement decision and keep playing into 2027. It seems that the freedom of not having to play much longer is enabling Cirstea to produce her best tennis. She is relaxing more and worrying less. Cirstea has looked very strong in this tournament. Still, she’s facing a player, Andreeva, who has reached the French Open semifinals before and is very comfortable on clay after having a tough start to her 2026 season on hardcourt surfaces.
Best Bet to Make
Andreeva moneyline is priced at 1.56, just below the 1.60 threshold where a bet has reasonable enough value. So, we’re not going to recommend this as our single bet for the match. What you could do is put Andreeva moneyline into a parlay, but for a single bet, we will go with over 2.5 sets. Cirstea is in excellent form, probably good enough to win one set. Andreeva, though, looks so confident on clay. Also, Cirstea got very nervous near the end of her Round of 16 win over Xiyu **** , suggesting she will get nervous here. Andreeva will win at least one set. If Cirstea wins the first set, Andreeva should bounce back and win the second set. It’s only if Andreeva wins the first set and Cirstea quickly loses confidence that the over 2.5 sets is not likely to cash, but Cirstea is playing so well that she should be able to push this match into a third set if nothing else.
