ATP Phoenix Challenger quarterfinals
Moutet – Bublik: 14.03.2025 20:30 CEST
H2H: 0-2
Corentin Moutet has won three of his last five matches. This week in Phoenix, Moutet won both matches in straight sets. In the 1/8-Finals, the Frenchman defeated Martinez in straight sets. He is getting ready for the upcoming Masters 1000 in Miami.
Alexander Bublik has lost three of his last five matches. Bublik struggled this week in Phoenix. In the opening round, the Kazakh defeated Vukic in three tight sets. Yesterday, in the 1/8-Finals, Bublik defeated another Aussie. Hijikata put up a big fight, but Bublik won the most important points of the match.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Moutet is the favorite in this matchup, and we agree. He was dominant in both matches this week. On the other hand, Bublik is in terrible form and does not look motivated on the court. We expect Moutet to be a better player tonight.
That being said, Moutet winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Corentin Moutet winning @1.67 @bet365

Best Bet to Make

H2H: first meeting
Hugo Gaston has won four of his last five matches. This week in Phoenix, Gaston won both matches in straight sets. The Frenchman upset Opelka in the second round, winning in straight sets.
Joao Fonseca has won three of his last five matches. He dominated the opening-round match against Kotov, winning in straight sets. Yesterday, in the 1/8-Finals, the young Brazilian won against Struff in three sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Fonseca is the favorite in this matchup, and we agree. He is one of the best upcoming talents, and we expect him to be dominant against Gaston. The Frenchman has no weapons for Fonseca’s game. Fonseca has way better ground strokes, and we expect him to win this match easily in straight sets.
That being said, Fonseca winning in straight sets is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Joao Fonseca winning 2-0 @1.73 @bet365
