Muchova vs Sabalenka Prediction & Pick

It'll be interesting to see who emerges as the victor as both women make their semifinal debut at Roland Garros. Sabalenka has the upper hand when it comes to big-stage experience, though, after reaching the semifinals in five of her last seven major appearances, including a win at the 2023 French Open.

More 2023 French Open betting coverage from The Duel:

Muchova just doesn't have the major experience that Sabalenka brings to the table. It doesn't help that the latter was victorious the only other time the women clashed, winning in two sets. Muchova is also lacking in clay experience, only playing 25 matchups (17-8, 68.0%) on the surface since 2021 compared to Sabalenka's 46 clay tilts (36-10, 78.2%) over that stretch.

As one of the French Open's favorites from the start, Sabalenka isn't about to slow down with the finish line in sight.

Winner: Aryna Sabalenka

Muchova vs Sabalenka Best Bet

As for the best bet, I see Sabalenka winning this one in two sets (-125). Since the start of the 2023 Australian Open, Sabalenka has only lost one set over 13 major matchups and has yet to lose one at Roland Garros this year. She knows how to handle the pressure and has the experience to back it up. As talented as Muchova is, I don't see her having what it takes to pull off the major upset.

Bet: Aryna Sabalenka to Win in Two Sets (-125)
