ATP 250 Geneva 1/8-Finals
Fritz – Halys: 21.05.2025 11:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Taylor Fritz has lost three of his last five matches. His last match was in Rome, where Giron upset him in the opening round in straight sets. This will be his third appearance in Geneva. Last season in Geneva, Fritz lost against Michelsen in the second round.
Quentin Halys has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Bordeaux, Halys lost against Basilashvili in the second round in straight sets. The Frenchman hopes for a solid result this week to get into the top 50. Halys defeated Munar in three tight sets in the opening round after spending almost three hours on the court.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Fritz is the big favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He enjoys playing on fast courts, and the clay courts in Geneva are almost as fast as some hard courts. The American wants a solid result this week to prepare for the French Open. We expect him to dominate in this match.
That being said, Fritz covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Taylor Fritz -4.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365
Fucsovics – Djokovic: 21.05.2025 18:00 CEST
H2H: 0-5
Marton Fucsovics has won three of his last five matches. His last match before ATP Geneva 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. Fucsovics won against Bergs in straight sets in the opening round this week.
Novak Djokovic has lost three straight matches. His last win was around two months ago in Miami. So far this season, Djokovic has played two clay-court matches and lost both in straight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Fucsovics is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He played well in the opening round against Bergs. On the other hand, Djokovic struggled with his form this whole season. We expect the Hungarian to keep this match tight.
That being said, Fucsovics covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Marton Fucsovics +3.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365
Popyrin – Fearnley: 21.05.2025 14:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Alexei Popyrin has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Rome, Popyrin lost in the third round against Medvedev in straight sets. This week in Geneva, he defeated Jarry in the opening round in three tight sets.
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 is his debut campaign in Geneva. In the opening round, the Brit defeated Lajovic in straight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Fearnley played his best tennis in the opening round against Lajovic. He enjoys playing on fast clay courts. On the other hand, Popyrin struggled in the opening round against Jarry, making 31 unforced errors. We expect Fearnley to be a better player tomorrow.
That being said, Fearnley winning is a value bet.
