The odds are pretty close for the win of both players, which shows how interesting this match will be.

Frances Tiafoe to win @ 7/10 (1.70)

Frances Tiafoe is not playing his best tennis lately which saw him fall from the top 10 in the ATP rankings. The American reached the quarterfinal last year in Paris showing that he can be very dangerous on this surface. Bublik is having many ups and downs this season and the feeling is that sometimes he lacks effort. That will probably not be the case in Paris but even if he pushes hard, Tiafoe has the extra quality that will take him through to the second round.

First set tie break @ 5/2 (3.50)

Bublik is one of those players who depends on his first serve and does not play long points. Tiafoe doesn’t mind that at all and we will probably see a tight match with not many breaks of serve. Given the stakes that goes with such a big tournament, both players will bring their best game and that may be enough to take the opening set to the tiebreak.
