ATP 250 Geneva 1/16-Finals
Popyrin – Jarry: 18.05.2025 12:00 CEST
H2H: 2-2
Alexei Popyrin has lost four of his last five matches. Last week in Rome, Popyrin lost in the third round against Medvedev in straight sets. So far this season, he has not had any remarkable results.
Nicolas Jarry has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Rome, Jarry lost in the second round against Cerundolo in straight sets. The Chilean struggled with his form throughout the whole season. However, he played well for the last two weeks. This will be his third appearance in Geneva. Jarry won the title in 2023 and was the finalist in 2019.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Popyrin is the slight favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. Jarry played twice in Geneva and dominated both times. We expect him to be a better player tomorrow and win.
That being said, Jarry winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Nicolas Jarry winning @2.10 @bet365
Fucsovics – Bergs: Time TBA
H2H: first meeting
Marton Fucsovics has lost three of his last five matches. His last match was in Rome, where he failed to qualify for the main draw tournament, losing against Shevchenko in the final qualifying round. He was the champion here in 2018.
Zizou Bergs has lost three of his last five matches. His last match was in Madrid, where he lost in the opening round against Diallo in straight sets. This will be his debut campaign in Geneva. He hopes for a solid result to keep his top 50 status.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Fucsovics is the slight underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He was the champion here in Geneva and enjoys playing on fast clay courts. On the other hand, Bergs has not played any competitive matches for the past three weeks. We expect the Hungarian to be a better player.
That being said, Fucsovics winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Marton Fucsovics winning @2.10 @bet365
Lajovic – Fearnley: Time TBA
H2H: first meeting
Dusan Lajovic has won three of his last five matches. The Serb has been granted a wild card this week in Geneva. Last week in Rome, Lajovic lost against Alcaraz in the second round in straight sets. This will be his third appearance in Geneva. He has never made it past the opening round.
Jacob Fearnley has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Rome, the Brit lost against Berrettini in the second round in straight sets. This will be his debut campaign in Geneva.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Lajovic is the slight underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He is more experienced and a better clay-court player than Fearnley. His experience and skill set on clay will prevail in this match.
That being said, Lajovic winning is a value bet.
