Rafael Jodar vs Alexander Zverev Prediction & Picks - ATP French Open

Prediction published on 6/2/26, 5:11 AM  by Tyler Doty | Modified on 6/2/26 at 11:15 AM in ATP French Open Picks

We’ll soon find out who the champion of the 2026 French Open is! With Jannik Sinner’s elimination and Carlos Alcaraz’s absence, Germany’s Alexander Zverev has emerged as the clear favorite at the Paris tournament. In this match, he’ll face young Rafael Jodar as he aims to reach the semifinals.

In his very first appearance at Roland Garros, Rafael Jodar continues to surprise everyone. Indeed, he dominated A. Kovacevic in just three sets before being pushed to four sets by J. Duckworth. And although he has managed to string together victories, he has taken a toll along the way, having had to play two five-set matches in his last two matches against A. Michelsen and P. Carreno-Busta.

Alexander Zverev, for his part, remains true to form and is racking up wins without much difficulty. In fact, he has lost only one set in his first four rounds against Q. Halys and should therefore be in top form to dominate this match. A quarterfinalist in Paris last year, he will play his eighth Roland Garros quarterfinal on Tuesday and should draw on his experience to reach the semifinals for the fifth time.
