French Open Women’s Semifinal Predicitions and Picks, June 5: Gauff (-5) to Roll vs Boisson

Coco Gauff plays surprise package Lois Boisson in the French Open semifinals, and the American is the very skinny favorite with women’s tennis odds.

Top 2 Picks for Gauff vs Boisson

1. Coco Gauff -5 Games (-125)

For those who love to bet on tennis, it’s hard not to root for the underdog, especially one playing in her home country. However, Gauff should roll straight through the challenger from France.

Boisson upset Mirra Andreeva in straight sets to make her first Grand Slam semifinal. The world No. 361 is a complete unknown, even for this avid tennis fan, and I can’t see her putting up much of a fight against Gauff.

She is the home country hero and Andreeva isn’t easy to bet, but Gauff is a world-class player with Grand Slam-winning experience, and all things being equal, she shouldn’t drop too many games en route to winning.

The -5 line means Gauff needs to win 6-3, 6-3, which is easily achievable. She showed good toughness to get past Madison Keys in the quarters, battling back from a set down and cruising home in the third set.

The odds for French Open success are -600 for Gauff, so I’m taking the -5 line. It’s a fair assessment of this game, and although I love a Cinderella story, from a betting perspective, there is only one player I want on my ticket.

PICK: Coco Gauff -5 Games (-125)

1. Under 20 Games (-120)

A straight-sets win for Gauff is highly likely and she knows what’s at stake. Gauff knows that her semifinal is much easier than what Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek must face, so she should roll into the Roland Garros final without much fuss.

The latest tennis news suggests Gauff has come through her quarterfinal feeling good despite a slow start, and she changed her tactics midway through the match. She started serving to Key’s weak backhand, so expect a smart game plan from the American youngster against Boisson.

My French Open picks include under 20 games, and that requires a two-set match. Gauff can win 6-3, 6-4, and still cash the under for bettors, so it’s the best prop bet. Her experience playing in Grand Slam semifinals should be too much for the unheralded Boisson, and there is a stark difference between playing Gauff and Andreeva.

Include under 20 games in tennis picks for the mouthwatering action in Paris.

PICK: Under 20 games (-120)
