ATP 500 Munich 1/8-Finals
Darderi – Kecmanovic: 16.04.2025 11:00 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Luciano Darderi has won nine of his last ten matches. The young Italian is playing his best tennis and enjoys playing on clay. Last week in Marrakech, Darderi won the title, losing only one set throughout the tournament. This is his debut campaign in Munich. In the opening main draw round, Darderi defeated O’Connell in straight sets.
Miomir Kecmanovic has lost three of his last five matches. This week in Munich, Kecmanovic defeated Giron in three tight sets. He saved two match points in the deciding set. He was great under pressure, saving 4/5 breakpoints.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Darderi is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He is in great form and played great in the opening round. On the other hand, Kecmanovic usually underperforms on clay and had an exhausting opening match against Giron. We expect Darderi to be a better player tomorrow.
That being said, Darderi winning is a value bet.

Best Bet to Make

Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Zverev is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He struggled with his form for the last couple of months, but we expect him to dominate in this match. Altmaier is a solid hard-court player, but Zverev is a way better clay-court player.
That being said, Zverev winning in straight sets is a value bet.
