ATP Bucharest 1/8-Finals
Seyboth Wild – Navone: 19.04.2024 09:00 CEST
H2H: 1-2
Seyboth Wild won four out of the last five matches. He reached the 1/16-Finals in Miami a couple of weeks ago. En route to the 1/16-Finals, Seyboth Wild won against Fritz and some other good players as well. He has played 8 clay court matches this season, and has an even 4-4 record. Here in Bucharest, Seyboth Wild won in the first round against Nardi in three sets after playing for over three hours. He was 3-5 down in the third set, and had saved 5 match points. Seyboth Wild have not had any remarkable results this season thus far.
Mariano Navone is playing his best tennis at the moment. He has won 10 out of the last 12 matches he has played. Over the past four months, Navone climbed over 70 places and almost broke into the top 50. Here in Bucharest, Navone dominated in the first round against Darderi, winning in straight sets. Before Bucharest, Navone played in Marrakech, where he reached the semifinals. Berretini defeated him in three tight sets. Also, worth mentioning that Navone played in the Rio de Janeiro final this year. Navone has played only one hard-court match this season. Other than that, he has played all of his matches on clay, and he looks ready here in Bucharest.
Best Bet to Make
Mariano Navone is currently in great form. We believe that he might be a dark horse at this tournament. Seyboth Wild did not have any remarkable success so far this season.
That being said, Navone to win is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Mariano Navone winning @1.80 @bet365
Moutet – Fucsovics: 19.04.2024 11:00 CEST
H2H: 1-1
Corentin Moutet won 4 out of his last 5 matches. In the first round, here in Bucharest, Moutet won easily in straight sets against Shapovalov. Today, Moutet had to fight for almost three hours against Borges. It was a tough match, but Moutet played two great sets and came out as the winner in the end. Moutet has not had any remarkable results this season so far. He played most of his matches on clay. He is on the verge of getting out of the top 100.
Marton Fucsovics won against Griekspoor in the second round as we predicted. Before at Bucharest, Fucsovics reached the quarterfinal in Estoril. That was also his first clay court tournament. He is a solid clay court player. Fucsovics loves long rallies, and has a great fighting spirit. Against Griekspoor, Fucsovics saved 4/4 breakpoints. He served well, and also was calm under pressure. Fucsovics needs to start winning if he wants to stay in the top 100.
Best Bet to Make
Marton Fucsovics showed us promising tennis so far in Bucharest. He should be well rested, as he only played around 90 minutes. Moutet had to play a long and exhausting match, he did not have much time to rest, and we believe that this will prevail.
That being said, Fucsovics winning is a value bet.
