French Open - Day 1 Mens

Haracio Zeballos looks a fair price at 5/6 to get one over Adrian Mannarino at Roland Garros. The pair have met twice before on quicker courts, where the Frenchman has always held the advantage, but the standard clay courts should suit Zeballos much better and he looks a fair price in this one.

Mannarino has been forced to qualify for clay events this season, and while he's managed to do so, he suffered first round exits from Rome and Madrid and only navigated two rounds in Monte Carlo.

Zeballos has been tackling lower grade tournaments, but reached the 1/4 finals in Munich and the semi-finals in Barcelona (losing to Nadal) and looks the better prepared.

Quentin Halys can take advantage of youth by beating Marco Trungelliti despite not being such a clay orientated player. He's ranked over 40 places higher in the ATP Tour rankings, but their form this season suggests he could be a much better player, and Trungelliti cannot be trusted this season.

Haly is 13-7 against players ranked 100-300 this year, and 6-1 on clay courts, while Trungelliti is just 9-8 on the same scale, and 5-3 on the dirt.

The even money with Boylesports looks more than fair, and we'd be taking as low as 8/11 happily.

Patriotic punters can definitely do worse than getting with Dan Evans to beat Tommy Robredo on Sunday. The Britain is certainly not known as a clay courter, but he can take advantage of a man who is playing under a protected ranking but looks a shadow of his former self.

The Spaniard has been dumped out at the first round in four of his last five tournaments (all on clay) including last time out to world number 344 Franko Skugor.

This is more a bet about Robredo's shape and fitness rather than anything greast about Evans, but the Englishman is up to 55th in the world now and should have the all round game to get the job done in this one at 13/10
