LiontipsJannik Sinner vs Pierre-Hugues Herbert. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Roland Garros (May 31, 2021).
Command Analysis
The Italian player has lost pace after a good performance in Barcelona. At the tournament, Jannik dealt with Egor Gerasimov (6-3, 6-2), knocked out Roberto Bautista Agut (7-6, 6-2), and defeated Andrei Rublev (6-2, 7-6), which took him to the semifinals. But sadly for Jannik, Stefanos Tsitsipas (3-6, 3-6) stopped him there.
Then Sinner tried his hand in Madrid, Rome, and Lyon, but these attempts didn't bear fruit. Now the 19-year-old tennis player will have the opportunity to prove himself at the French Open and will enter the court as a clear favorite, although he will have to compete against the French player in Paris.
The Frenchman has not shown a convincing game for quite a long time, although he plays at all possible tournaments. Recently, Pierre-Hugues has appeared at many clay tournaments but showed good results in neither of them.
Herbert last appeared on clay at the home Masters in Lyon. The Frenchman went against Sebastian Korda but lost in straight sets (6-7, 4-6). Usually the World №83 bets on the first serve, but needs time to adjust his game. Although time is precious at Roland Garros.

Tip and bets
Pierre-Hugues Herbert hopes for the support of the fans and relies on the first serve, although at the moment he is no better than Jannik Sinner in this aspect. The Italian looks more confident recently and has every chance to beat his opponent in the first round of Roland Garros. In our opinion, the 19th seed will confidently beat the Frenchman.
Our prediction is Jannik Sinner to win with the handicap (-5.5) games
The opponents have already met. Last year the Italian simply did not leave a chance to Herbert. Sinner clearly does not plan to waste his energy at the start of the French Major, so he will try to play aggressively, and we expect that the match will not last too long.
Second prediction - total under 38.5 games
