Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka are the favorites in their respective French Open finals matches. Defending champion Alcaraz will take on Jannik Sinner on Sunday, while Sabalenka will face Coco Gauff on Saturday.

Alcaraz is a -120 favorite at theScore Bet/ESPN Bet in his first meeting with Sinner in a Grand Slam final. Alcaraz has an 8-4 edge over Sinner in their career head-to-heads and is 2-1 against the Italian on clay. Those two clay victories came in last year's French Open semis and the finals of May's ATP 1000 event in Rome.

Alcaraz advanced to his second straight French Open final after Lorenzo Musetti retired while trailing two sets to one and down two games in the fourth set. Alcaraz also beat Americans Tommy Paul and Ben Shelton amid his title defense.

Sinner knocked off Novak Djokovic in straight sets in the other semifinal. Sinner is a three-time Grand Slam champion, but all three came on hard court, and this will be his first French Open final appearance.

On the women's side, Sabalenka is a -220 favorite over Gauff (+165). It will be Sabalenka's first French Open final appearance and Gauff's second. The American lost to Iga Swiatek in 2022.

It's the second time they've played each other in a Grand Slam final; Gauff got the better of Sabalenka at the 2023 US Open. The top two-ranked women in the world are even at five wins apiece in their 10 head-to-head matches.

Sabalenka defeated No. 5 seed Swiatek in the semis to reach her first final at Roland Garros. She also beat 8-seed Qinwen Zheng and 16-seed Amanda Anisimova on her way to the championship match.

Gauff's path was a bit easier. She knocked off Ekaterina Alexandrova and No. 7 seed Madison Keys before ending French wild card Lois Boisson's remarkable run.

The women's final starts at 9 a.m. ET on Saturday, while the men's final takes place at 9 a.m. on Sunday.
