ATP 500 Hamburg 1/16-Finals
Sachko – Cobolli: 20.05.2025 12:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Vitaliy Sachko has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Turin, Sachko lost in the 1/8-Finals against Etcheverry in straight sets. He failed to qualify for the main draw tournament this week in Hamburg, losing in the final qualifying round. However, with several players withdrawing from the tournament, Sachko entered the main draw as a lucky loser.
Flavio Cobolli has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Turin, Cobolli lost against Altmaier in the quarterfinals in straight sets. Last season in Hamburg, he reached the second round, eventually losing to Zhang in straight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Cobolli is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is way more experienced than Sachko, playing at the highest level. Cobolli is a top-40 player, and we expect him to showcase his skillset and win easily.
That being said, Cobolli winning in straight sets is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Flavio Cobolli winning 2-0 @1.80 @bet365
Altmaier – Auger-Aliassime: 20.05.2025 18:00 CEST
H2H: 2-0
Daniel Altmaier has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Turin, Altmaier lost against Bublik in the semifinals of the Challenger tournament. This will be his seventh appearance in Hamburg. He has never made it past the opening round.
Felix Auger-Aliassime has lost five straight matches. His last match was in Estoril, around three weeks ago, where Pellegrino upset him in the opening round of the Challenger tournament. This will be his second appearance in Hamburg.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Altmaier is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He is in solid form and will have a packed crowd on his side. On the other hand, the Canadian struggled with his form for the last couple of months. We expect Altmaier to be a better player tomorrow.
That being said, Altmaier winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Daniel Altmaier winning @2.30 @bet365
1/8-Finals
Rublev – Engel: 21.05.2025 Time TBA
H2H: first meeting
Andrey Rublev has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Rome, Rublev lost against Marozsan in the opening round in three tight sets. This week in Hamburg, he won the opening round match against Dzumhur in straight sets. He won the title here in 2020.
Justin Engel has won three of his last five matches. His last match before ATP Hamburg was two weeks ago in Italy, where he lost in the opening round of the Challenger tournament against Skatov in three tight sets. He has been granted a wild card this week in Hamburg. In the opening round, Engel upset Struff in straight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Rublev is the big favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is one of the biggest favourites to win the title this week. Engel is inexperienced, so we expect Rublev to get the job done quickly.
That being said, Rublev covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Andrey Rublev -5.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365
