The French Open continues on Monday with the last matches of the fourth round.

With Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic already out of contention, anybody with a great week could make it to the final, which makes this Roland Garros all the more interesting.

Today, we're targeting these two matches — Frances Tiafoe vs. Matteo Arnaldi and Juan Manuel Cerundolo vs. Matteo Berrettini.

This is Frances Tiafoe's least favorite surface, which is why he's had to claw his way out of matches this first week on the Parisian clay, needing four sets to beat Eliot Spizzirri, and then five against Hubert Hurkacz and Jaime Faria.

In this last match, Tiafoe lost the first two sets and was forced to mount a comeback against the Portuguese, ranked 115th on the ATP circuit.

The American will need to rely on his dynamic style of play and excellent instincts for approaching the net to get past Matteo Arnaldi.

The Italian already eliminated Tallon Griekspoor and Stefanos Tsitsipas in the first two rounds, thanks to his speed and aggressiveness from the baseline.

The head-to-head is tied at one win apiece, with Arnaldi coming out on top in the latest meeting last year on the Madrid clay, in straight sets: 6-3, 7-5.

At Roland Garros, it will probably take longer for any of them to advance, so the over is a great choice.

Pick: Over 37.5 (-130, DraftKings)

Juan Manuel Cerundolo is already playing with house money in Paris, after sending Jannik Sinner home in a shocking second-round match.

Of course, Sinner was clearly diminished by cramps, but nobody will take away that victory from Cerundolo's record.

The Argentine also had to go the distance against Martin Landaluce in the third round (with four tie-breaks), which means Cerundolo has played 10 sets in the past four days.

He's a clay-court specialist, with a very good left forehand, but he's also been serving very well. Cerundolo had 30 aces combined in the last two matches, and six in his straight-sets win in the first round.

That could spell trouble for Matteo Berrettini, who's just coming off a hard-fought victory against another Argentine player, Fernando Comesana, whose ranking (102) is much lower than Cerundolo's (56).

The Italian also had to go through four tie-breaks and five sets to make it here, using his powerful serve to rack up 20 aces, so we should expect another long match on Monday.

Pick: Over 38.5 (-115, DraftKings)
