French Open: Semifinals Picks and Title Lean
Rafael Nadal's Quest for 14th French Open Title
The French Open is one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world, and this year's edition has been no exception. Rafael Nadal is looking to add to his record 13 French Open titles, but he faces a tough challenge in the form of German Alexander Zverev in the semifinals. Pamela Maldonado has picks for both semifinals before picking a lean for the final.
Semifinals Picks
Nadal is the overwhelming favorite to beat Zverev, but the German has been playing some of his best tennis in recent weeks. The other semifinal features Stefanos Tsitsipas taking on Novak Djokovic. Tsitsipas has been in fine form this year, but Djokovic is the world number one for a reason. Maldonado's picks for the semifinals are Nadal and Djokovic.
Title Lean
Assuming Nadal and Djokovic both make it through to the final, Maldonado's lean is towards Nadal. The Spaniard has been unbeatable on the clay courts of Roland Garros, and it's hard to see anyone stopping him from winning his 14th French Open title. However, Djokovic is a fierce competitor and will be looking to add to his own Grand Slam tally.
In conclusion, the French Open has been full of surprises this year, but Nadal remains the favorite to lift the trophy once again.
