French Open 2026 outright tips: the men’s final four is set — and it is wide open. Pre-tournament favourite Jannik Sinner (R2), 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic (R3) and two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz (withdrew) are all long gone, so Roland-Garros is guaranteed a first-time French Open champion. Alexander Zverev — the only man left to have reached a major final — meets Jakub Menšík, while Italy is guaranteed a finalist as Matteo Arnaldi faces Flavio Cobolli. Below: the semi-final outright market and where the value lies.

French Open 2026 Men’s Outright Odds (Semi-Finals)
The market with four men left. Odds approximate, at time of writing.
| Player | Approx Odds | Status |
| Alexander Zverev | 8/13 | Favourite; only SF finalist; SF v Mensik |
| Flavio Cobolli | 3/1 | First major SF; SF v Arnaldi |
| Jakub Mensik | 7/2 | Beat de Minaur, Rublev & Fonseca; SF v Zverev |
| Matteo Arnaldi | 9/2 | Beat Tiafoe & Berrettini; SF v Cobolli |
Zverev: The Man to Beat
Alexander Zverev is the only man left to have contested a Grand Slam final (Roland-Garros 2024) and a former semi-finalist here too. With Sinner, Djokovic and Alcaraz all gone, the German has the serve, stamina and clay pedigree to finally convert favouritism into a maiden title — he faces big-serving Jakub Menšík first. Tip: Zverev outright (around 8/13).
The All-Italian Semi and the First-Time-Champion Guarantee
Whoever lifts the Coupe des Mousquetaires will be a first-time Roland-Garros champion. Italy is guaranteed a finalist: Flavio Cobolli, who beat Auger-Aliassime to reach a maiden major semi, meets Matteo Arnaldi, who outlasted Tiafoe and saw off Berrettini. Cobolli is the value pick of the two to make the final. Tip: Cobolli each-way / to reach the final.
Women’s Outright — First-Time Champion Too
The women’s draw is also guaranteed a maiden Grand Slam winner after world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka was stunned by Diana Shnaider. Mirra Andreeva is the favourite — see our women’s outright tips for the full semi-final breakdown.
