WTA French Open Quarterfinals Best Bets Including Elina Svitolina vs Marta Kostyuk

The WTA French Open tennis moves into the quarterfinals on Tuesday. This is from the bottom half of the draw, with the other two quarterfinals in the top half on Wednesday. The bottom half of the women’s tournament involves four players who have never reached a major final. One of them will finally get to the championship match, for the right to play for a prized trophy in tennis. The pressure is massive. The stakes are enormous. How these players handle stress will determine who moves on and who will fall short of a big opportunity. LWOS has our best bets for two matches on Tuesday. Post your best bets and thoughts in the comments.

Andreeva – Cirstea: Time 5:00 EST

H2H: 1-0

Mirra Andreeva faces Sorana-Mihaela Cirstea in a battle of young versus old. It’s the 19-year-old Andreeva against the 36-year-old Cirstea. Cirstea is set to retire at the end of the season. That would make this her final French Open. Reports this week indicated that Cirstea has no plans to change her retirement decision and keep playing into 2027. It seems that the freedom of not having to play much longer is enabling Cirstea to produce her best tennis. She is relaxing more and worrying less. Cirstea has looked very strong in this tournament. Still, she’s facing a player, Andreeva, who has reached the French Open semifinals before and is very comfortable on clay after having a tough start to her 2026 season on hardcourt surfaces.

Best Bet to Make

Andreeva moneyline is priced at 1.56, just below the 1.60 threshold where a bet has reasonable enough value. So, we’re not going to recommend this as our single bet for the match. What you could do is put Andreeva moneyline into a parlay, but for a single bet, we will go with over 2.5 sets. Cirstea is in excellent form, probably good enough to win one set. Andreeva, though, looks so confident on clay. Also, Cirstea got very nervous near the end of her Round of 16 win over Xiyu Wang, suggesting she will get nervous here. Andreeva will win at least one set. If Cirstea wins the first set, Andreeva should bounce back and win the second set. It’s only if Andreeva wins the first set and Cirstea quickly loses confidence that the over 2.5 sets is not likely to cash, but Cirstea is playing so well that she should be able to push this match into a third set if nothing else.

That being said, betting on over 2.5 sets is a value bet for sure.

Value bet/ the best odds: over 2.5 sets @2.48 @Unibet

Svitolina – Kostyuk: Time 7:30 EST

H2H: 1–1

Elina Svitolina faces Marta Kostyuk in an all-Ukraine quarterfinal. This guarantees that one Ukrainian player will be in the semifinals with a strong chance of making the final this coming Saturday and playing for the championship. Svitolina came back to beat Belinda Bencic on Sunday after losing the first set. She has won multiple three-set matches in this tournament and is showing the toughness of someone who desperately wants to lift a major trophy for the first time in her career. Marta Kostyuk just defeated Iga Swiatek and is now 16-0 on clay this season. She should be considered the more in-form player in this matchup, but playing Svitolina in the quarterfinals is a high-pressure moment, which will be new for her.

Best Bet to Make

Over 2.5 sets is the natural first place to think of when making a bet on this match. However, the all-Ukraine part of the match could create a situation in which one player gets really nervous and doesn’t play as well as expected. The bet here is Svitolina moneyline. She has been to major quarterfinals more than Kostyuk has. Obviously, Kostyuk is tremendous on clay right now, but it’s not as though Svitolina doesn’t know how to play well on clay. She just won Rome and has been to the French Open quarterfinals before. She is more experienced and knows this is her big chance to win a major title. You’re getting an amazing price with Svitolina moneyline. Go for it.

That being said, betting on Svitolina winning is a value bet for sure.
