Joao Fonseca vs. Alexander Zverev
Match Date: April 10, 2026, 11:00 AM CEST
Head-to-Head: First meeting
Joao Fonseca is on a strong run, having won four of his last five matches. In Monte Carlo, he began with a straight-sets victory over Diallo, showing resilience by overcoming a deficit in the second set. He then outlasted Rinderknech in a closely contested three-set match, demonstrating excellent performance under pressure by saving twelve of fourteen break points. Fonseca continued his dominant form by easily defeating Berrettini in straight sets in the Round of 16.
Alexander Zverev also enters the match with four wins in his last five outings. In Monte Carlo, he secured a hard-fought three-set win against Garin, staging a comeback from significant deficits in the deciding set. In the Round of 16, Zverev defeated Bergs in straight sets, controlling the match despite losing his serve twice. Last year in Monte Carlo, Zverev was eliminated by Berrettini in the second round in three sets.
Best Bet: Joao Fonseca +1.5 Games Handicap
While bookmakers favor Zverev, Fonseca’s recent dominant performance, particularly his convincing win over Berrettini, suggests he is a top emerging talent. We anticipate Fonseca will keep this match competitive, especially given the current conditions.
Value Bet: Joao Fonseca covering the +1.5 games handicap.

Felix Auger-Aliassime vs. Jannik Sinner
Match Date: April 10, 2026, 12:30 PM CEST
Head-to-Head: 3-4 (Auger-Aliassime leads)
Felix Auger-Aliassime is on a five-match winning streak. In Monte Carlo, he opened with a straight-sets win against Cilic, turning around an early deficit in the first set. He advanced to the next round when Ruud retired mid-match. This marks Auger-Aliassime’s first clay-court tournament of the season; last year, he was eliminated in the first round by Altmaier in straight sets.
Jannik Sinner boasts an impressive fourteen-match winning streak, highlighted by consecutive Masters 1000 titles in Indian Wells and Miami. In Monte Carlo, Sinner decisively defeated Humbert in straight sets in his opening match, serving flawlessly and saving all break points. In the Round of 16, he overcame Machac in three sets. Sinner reached the semifinals here in both 2023 and 2024, marking his best results at the event. It’s worth noting that at this time last season, Sinner was serving a suspension for doping violations.
Best Bet: Jannik Sinner -5.5 Games Handicap
Sinner is the clear favorite, a sentiment we share. Despite dropping the second set in a tiebreak against Machac, Sinner has largely dominated his matches this week. His current form, following consecutive Masters 1000 victories, is exceptional. In contrast, Auger-Aliassime has historically struggled at the Monte Carlo tournament.
Value Bet: Jannik Sinner covering the -5.5 games handicap.
Odds: 1.83 at bet365
