Germany’s Alexander Zverev will face World No. 2 Jannik Sinner in the Monte-Carlo Masters men’s singles semifinals. Meanwhile, the other semifinal will see Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz take on unseeded Valentin Vacherot.
At the same time, the 2026 Linz Open has also reached the semifinal round in women’s singles. There, Mirra Andreeva will take on Elena-Gabriela Ruse in the first semifinal and in the other semifinal, Anastasia Potapova will face Donna Vekic.
In this article, we bring you the best bets which you can use to wager across men’s and women’s singles matches scheduled today.
Top 5 Best Bets and Prediction
Alexander Zverev vs. Jannik Sinner: Italian to Win (1.18x)
Zverev has always found it tough to win against Sinner. The German last won a match against the Italian back in the 2023 US Open, and since then, the World No. 2 has won seven straight encounters between them.
Moreover, Sinner is in a hot stretch, having won the Sunshine Double without even dropping a set. In his Monte-Carlo Masters pre-quarterfinal match, Sinner dropped his first set after 18 games in ATP 1000 events.
Thus, in all likelihood, the Italian is once again favored to get the better of Zverev.
Carlos Alcaraz vs Valentin Vacherot: Spaniard to Win (1.07x)
While the first semifinal is still expected to be competitive, betting pundits don’t see any reason to bet against World No. 1 Alcaraz. While Alcaraz might have lost to weaker and lesser-ranked opponents recently, the seven-time Grand Slam champion is the man to beat on the clay surface. Last season, he was 22-1 in clay series.
On the other hand, Vacherot shouldn’t be taken lightly, as he defeated a top-5 player, Lorenzo Musetti, and he is also good on clay, winning 70% of his matches.
While it may appear that a safer option is Alcaraz, who won 2-0, we are still promoting betting on the game result.
Carlos Alcaraz vs Valentin Vacherot: Spaniard to Win First Set (1.13x)
Another best bet from the second semifinal at Monte-Carlo sees Alcaraz winning the first set of the match. The Spaniard is known to start the game aggressively and doesn’t let his opponent take a lead on him.
Mirra Andreeva vs Elena-Gabriela Ruse: Russian to win 2-0 (1.52x)
Mirra Andreeva is the clear favorite with many betting odds expecting her to win the tournament, let alone this semifinal game. Despite being just 18 years old, she is already a top-10 player. On clay, she looks stable and has excellent variations. On the other hand, Ruse has struggled with consistency at higher levels.
As such, Andreeva’s aggressive baseline game and composure should hand her a lop-sided victory in straight sets.
Anastasia Potapova vs Donna Vekic: Total Games (Pick Under 22.5 – 1.80x)
Vekic and Potapova have previously played each other and both times the former has come out on top in straight sets. Vekic has experience and wields a strong serve. Meanwhile, Potapova is talented but inconsistent at this level of the game.
However, it’s also important to note that Potapova has reached the semifinals without dropping a set in the tournament. Meanwhile, Vekic has been forced to her limit as she has had multiple three-set matches, with some of them even involving a tiebreaker for the set.
Despite that, oddsmakers believe Vekic should come out on top in this match without conceding a set and that’s why picking below 22.5 games seems to be the best bet.
