ATP 500 Halle 1/16-Finals
Cerundolo – Michelsen: 17.06.2025 13:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Francisco Cerundolo has lost three of his last five matches. His last match was at the French Open, where Diallo upset him in the opening round in straight sets. His last match on grass was at Wimbledon last season, losing against Safiullin in the opening round in five tight sets.
Alex Michelsen has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Stuttgart, Michelsen lost against Engel in the 1/8-Finals. He hopes for a solid result to reach the top 30 in the rankings this season.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Cerundolo has not played any competitive matches on grass this season. On the other hand, Michelsen has already played two matches on grass this season and enjoys playing on it. We expect him to be a better player tomorrow.
That being said, Michelsen winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Alex Michelsen winning @1.80 @bet365
Fonseca – Cobolli: 17.06.2025 13:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Joao Fonseca has lost three of his last five matches. His last match was at the French Open, where he lost against Draper in the third round in straight sets. His last match on grass was last season at Wimbledon, where he failed to qualify for the main draw.
Flavio Cobolli has won four of his last five matches. His last match was at the French Open, where he lost against Zverev in the third round in straight sets. His last match was last season at Wimbledon, where he lost against Tabilo in the second round in five sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Fonseca is the slight favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. He never succeeded on grass courts. On the other hand, Cobolli played well on the grass last season. We expect him to keep this match tight.
That being said, Cobolli covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Flavio Cobolli +2.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365
Humbert – Shapovalov: 17.06.2025 13:00 CEST
H2H: 2-3
Ugo Humbert has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Hertogenbosch, Humbert had a decent run, reaching the semifinals. He eventually lost against Diallo in straight sets. Around this time last season, the Frenchman played in London, losing against Arnaldi in the opening round.
Denis Shapovalov has lost four of his last five matches. Last week in Stuttgart, Rinderknech upset him in the opening round in three sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Humbert is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is a solid grass court player and played solidly last week. On the other hand, Shapovalov had a disappointing opening grass court match last week. We expect Humbert to be a better player tomorrow.
That being said, Humbert winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Ugo Humbert winning @1.53 @bet365
