ATP French Open qualifiers semifinals
Marterer – Coria: 21.05.2025 14:30 CEST
H2H: 2-0
Maximilian Marterer has lost three of his last five matches. This week in Paris, he won the opening qualifying match against Butvilas in straight sets. He was a better player throughout the match and deservedly won in straight sets.
Federico Coria has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Tunis, Coria retired mid-match against Droguet at the Challenger tournament. This week in Paris, the Argentine defeated Bouquier in three tight sets after spending over two hours on the court.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Marterer leads 2-0 in head-to-head meetings and has played well in the opening qualifying round. Coria has no weapons for the German’s game. We expect Marterer to be a better player tomorrow.
That being said, Marterer winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Maximilian Marterer winning @1.80 @bet365
Moreno de Alboran – Klein: 21.05.2025 13:00 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Nicolas Moreno de Alboran has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Oeiras, Habib upset him in the opening round of the Challenger tournament. This week in Paris, he dominated against Fognini in the opening qualifying round, winning in straight sets. He offered and saved two breakpoints.
Lukas Klein has won four of his last five matches. Two weeks ago in Prague, Klein lost against Misolic in the semifinals of the Challenger tournament. Yesterday at the French Open, he won against Den Ouden in three tight sets. He trailed 1-3 in the deciding set but turned it around.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Moreno de Alboran is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He enjoys playing on clay courts and performed well last year in the opening draw of the French Open against Nakashima. We expect him to be a better player tomorrow.
That being said, Moreno de Alboran winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Nicolas Moreno de Alboran winning @1.57 @bet365
Shevchenko – Ehard: 21.05.2025 11:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Alexander Shevchenko has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Bordeaux, Shevchenko lost straight sets against Mpetshi Perricard in the quarterfinals. This week in Paris, he defeated Mochizuki in three tight sets after losing the opening set 6-7.
Mathys Erhard has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Tunis, the Frenchman lost in three tight sets against Droguet in the opening round. This week in Paris, he demolished McCabe 6-1 6-1. Erhard was great under pressure, saving all three breakpoints.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Erhard is the favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. He played great in the opening qualifying round and had a crowd behind him. On the other hand, Shevchenko struggled against Mochizuki in the opening round. We expect a tight match that could go either way.
That being said, Erhard covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Mathys Erhard +3.5 games handicap @1.80 @bet365
