Tennis best bets for Rolex Paris Masters & WTA Finals – Saturday, November 4
There isn’t much time left in the 2023 tennis season, but this is a week full of high-level action. The men are in Paris for the Rolex Paris Masters, which is the final 1000-level event of the season. This is as big of a tournament as there is outside of the four Grand Slams, and the stakes are high. Meanwhile, the women are already into the WTA Finals. The top eight players on the women’s side are in Cancun to compete for the final big trophy of the year. With that in mind, I’m here to give you some daily tennis best bets. Keep reading for my picks for Saturday, November 4.

Grigor Dimitrov vs. Stefanos Tsitsipas
Both of these players are playing well this week, but I have been a little more impressed with Tsitsipas. The 25-year-old really seems like he is back to playing at an elite level, as he is coming off straight-set wins over Alexander Zverev and Karen Khachanov. His confidence is extremely high at the moment, and he now faces a player that he is 6-1 against at the tour level. Dimitrov’s backhand slice could be a factor in this match, but I think Tsitsipas’ booming serve and forehand will be hard for the Bulgarian to overcome. So, I’m playing Tsitsipas as a small moneyline favorite and I’m going a little bigger on it than usual. The Greek star feels like he is due for a big title and I think he’ll get it this weekend.
Bet: Tsitsipas ML (-140 – 2 units)
Andrey Rublev vs. Novak Djokovic
It’s somewhat hard to back Rublev against Djokovic, as the Serbian has dominated him in their head-to-head series. But Djokovic has looked really rusty since returning to action, which isn’t crazy considering he took a month and a half off before arriving in Paris. Meanwhile, Rublev played at an absurd level in his 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 win over Alexander De Minaur last match. Rublev was absolutely ripping shots from the baseline, and he’s a tough player to beat when he’s on his game. And that’s especially true when you’re talking about an indoor hard-court tournament, as his powerful shots are only tougher to track down on low-bouncing courts. With that in mind, I think it’s worth backing Rublev to win a set here. He’s on fire and Djokovic is vulnerable, so there’s no better time for the Russian to give him a run for his money.
Bet: Rublev +1.5 Sets (-140)
