ATP 250 Eastbourne 1/8-Finals
Evans – Paul: 25.06.2025 Time TBA
H2H: 1-1
Daniel Evans has won three of his last five matches. Last week in London, he lost in straight sets against Nakashima in the 1/8-Finals. This week in Eastbourne, Evans has been granted a wild card. Evans defeated Kecmanovic in three tight sets in the opening round after losing the opening set 3-6.
Tommy Paul has won four of his last five matches. His last match was at the French Open, where Paul lost against Alcaraz in the quarterfinals. His last match on grass-court was last season at Wimbledon, losing against Alcaraz in the quarterfinals in four tight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Evans is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He has already played around a dozen matches on grass this season, while Paul has not played any competitive matches on grass. We expect Evans to keep this match tight.
That being said, Evans covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Daniel Evans +3.5 games handicap @1.73 @bet365
Fritz – Fonseca: 25.06.2025 Time TBA
H2H: first meeting
Taylor Fritz has won four of his last five matches. Last week in London, Moutet upset him in the opening round in three tight sets. A week before, Fritz won the title in Stuttgart. He is the defending champion in Eastbourne. He defeated Purcell in the final last season.
Joao Fonseca has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Halle, he lost against Cobolli in three tight sets. Around this time last season, the Brazilian played at the Challenger Tour level. This is his debut campaign in Eastbourne. In the opening round, he won against Bergs in three sets after losing the opening set.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Fonseca is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. Once he lost the opening set against Bergs, Fonseca played his best tennis and dominated until the end. If he repeats that performance, we expect him to at least keep this match tight.
That being said, Fonseca covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Joao Fonseca +2.5 games handicap @2.10 @bet365
Sonego – Humbert: 25.06.2025 Time TBA
H2H: 3-4
Lorenzo Sonego has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Halle, Sonego lost in three tight sets against Zverev in the 1/8-Finals. This week in Eastbourne, the Italian defeated Marozsan in straight sets in the opening round. Last season in Eastbourne, the Italian lost against Purcell in straight sets in the 1/8-Finals.
Ugo Humbert has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Halle, Humbert lost in the opening round against Shapovalov in three tight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Sonego is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. Humbert played far away from his best level last week. On the other hand, Sonego dominated against Marozsan here in the opening round. We expect Sonego to be a better player tomorrow.
That being said, Sonego winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Lorenzo Sonego winning @2.38 @bet365
