ATP 250 Kitzbuhel 1/8-Finals
Djere – Seyboth Wild: 24.07.2024 11:00 CEST
H2H: 3-0
Laslo Djere has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Hamburg, Djere lost his second round match against Fils in straight sets. Here in Kitzbuhel, Laslo won in the first round of the tournament against Kopriva in straight sets. The first set was a rollercoaster. However, in the second set, Djere served well, and managed to save both breakpoints. Laslo had a solid 2023 season. However, this year, Laslo did not have any remarkable results, which led to him getting out of the top 50. Last year in Kitzbuhel, Djere reached the semifinals where he lost against Thiem in three tight sets.
Thiago Seyboth Wild has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Hamburg, Thiago lost in the first round against Zhang in straight sets as we predicted. Earlier this season, Seyboth Wild played solid tennis and almost got into the top 50. Unfortunately, the injuries had ruined his second part of the season. Here in Kitzbuhel, Thiago won his first round match against Schwaerzler in straight sets. Last year in Kitzbuhel, Thiago lost in the second round of the tournament against Djere in straight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, this should be a 50-50 match. Laslo was struggling with his fitness this season, which impacted his tennis a lot. On the other hand, Seyboth has had a solid season so far, so we believe that he will win this match.
That being said, Seyboth Wild winning is a value bet.

Hanfmann – Etcheverry: 24.07.2024 11:00 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Yannick Hanfmann has lost three of his last five matches. Hanfmann has been struggling a lot with his form this season. Last week in Gstaad, Hanfmann lost in the second round of the tournament against Auger-Aliassime in straight sets. Here in Kitzbuhel, Hanfmann won his first round match against Munar in straight sets. So far this season, Hanfmann has not have any remarkable results, resulting in him being outside the top 100. Here in Kitzbuhel, Yannick has played two times. In 2020, Hanfmann reached the final here as a qualifier. Two years later, Hanfmann lost in the semifinals.
Tomas Etcheverry has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Gstaad, Tomas lost in the quarterfinal against Struff in three tight sets. His best results this season were on clay. However, these last couple of months, Etcheverry struggled with his fitness. Last year in Kitzbuhel, Etcheverry reached the semifinals where he lost against Baez in straight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Hanfmann is the underdog in this matchup. Yannick had a great first round performance, so we believe that he will have a chance against Etcheverry. Hanfmann is a heavy hitter who fits this fast clay court surface in Kitzbuhel perfectly.
That being said, Hanfmann covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Yannick Hanfmann +3.5 games handicap @1.73 @bet365
