Federer, listed at +450 to win, is trying to capture his first French Open championship to complete a career Grand Slam and tie Pete Sampras' record of 14 major titles.
Federer lost to Rafael Nadal in the past three finals at Roland Garros, but the Spaniard is no longer around this year after being upset by Soderling in the fourth round.
Del Potro faces a monumental task against Federer as not only will he have the crowd against him but he has never won a set in five previous matches against the Swiss world number two.
In the other match, Gonzalez is the favorite at -155 but it is hard to bet against Soderling (+115) after the upsets he has pulled off in Paris. Get your French Open odds now.
