2024 French Open men's third round odds, picks: Djokovic vs. Musetti best bets and predictions from proven expert

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic will continue his quest for a fourth French Open title when he faces No. 30 seed Lorenzo Musetti on Saturday in Paris. Djokovic has picked up a pair of straight-set victories so far this week, beating Frenchman Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Spaniard Roberto Carballes Baena. Musetti has won both of his matches in straights as well, including an impressive showing against Gael Monfils in the second round. 

Saturday's Djokovic vs. Musetti showdown is set to start at 2:15 p.m. ET on Court Philippe-Chatrier. Djokovic is the -650 favorite (risk $650 to win $100) in the latest Djokovic vs. Musetti odds, while Musetti is a +400 underdog. The over/under for total games is 34.5, with Djokovic favored by 6.5 games (-110).

Before you make any Djokovic vs. Musetti picks or 2024 French Open predictions, make sure you see what tennis expert Blake Von Hagen has to say.

Von Hagen has followed tennis closely for years, keeping an eye on young players before they turn into stars. His dedication to the sport allows him to find value on the Challenger Tour and the ATP Tour alike. 

Von Hagen routinely attends ATP events, including at the Challenger level. He keeps up with injuries, form and line movement to identify the best bets of the day. His research allowed him to nail Carlos Alcaraz as a 22-1 longshot to win the 2022 US Open, jumping on board before the market adjusted. He went 20-9 (+11.4u) in the 2024 Rome Masters 1000 earlier this month, nailing three first-round upsets and returning more than $1,100 for $100 bettors in that tournament!

Von Hagen knows Djokovic is coming off his most convincing performance in weeks, holding Carballes Baena to just seven games won. The World No. 1 only faced three break points while winning 72% of his first-serve points. He tends to win in convincing fashion, with his last eight wins coming in straight sets. Djokovic has won four of the previous five head-to-head meetings between these players, and three of those wins were in straights. He recently beat Musetti in Monte Carlo by a 7-5, 6-3 scoreline. 

But Von Hagen also has considered that Musetti is off to a hot start this week, beating Daniel Elahi Galan and Gael Monfils in 3-0 fashion. The Italian overcame the French crowd during his win over Monfils, hitting 31 winners compared to just 17 unforced errors. Musetti took a 2-0 lead against Djokovic in the fourth round of the 2021 French Open before getting fatigued and retiring in the fifth set. The 22-year-old is significantly more experienced at this stage of his career, and he has won five of his last six matches in straight sets. 

For Saturday, Von Hagen has scrutinized the Musetti vs. Djokovic matchup in the third round of the 2024 French Open and released his coveted top picks. We can tell you that he is leaning Over 34.5 Total Games (-115), but he has two STRONG picks, one on the game spread and one on a player prop bet. You ABSOLUTELY need to see what they are before locking in any 2024 French Open picks of your own!
