The ATP 250 Marrakech 1/8-finals bring some nice value angles. Muller looks fresher and more comfortable in these conditions, while Jodar’s form and confidence could see him edge Machac. Buse, meanwhile, carries strong momentum after a big win and could keep that run going.
ATP 250 Marrakech 1/8-Finals
Kopriva – Muller: 02.04.2026 12:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Vit Kopriva has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Naples, Kopriva lost to Forti in the opening match in straight sets. This week in Marrakech, Kopriva outlasted Medjedovic in three sets, after losing the opening set 6-7.
Alexandre Muller has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Naples, Muller lost to Medjedovic in the quarterfinals in straight sets. He was the finalist here in 2023. The Frenchman defeated Cina in the opening round in straight sets easily.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Kopriva had a three-set thriller after playing for almost three hours. The Frenchman dominated in the opening round and enjoys playing on clay here in Marrakech.
That being said, Muller winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Alexandre Muller winning @1.91 @bet365
Jodar – Machac: 02.04.2026 13:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Rafael Jodar has won four of his last five matches. This is his debut campaign in Marrakech. In the opening round, the Spaniard defeated Lajovic in straight sets. He served well, offering and saving only two breakpoints.
Tomas Machac has lost four of his last five matches. The last match he played was in Miami, where he lost to Moutet in the second round in three sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Machac is the slight favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. Jodar is in great form and serves well. He is one of the best upcoming Spanish talents. We expect him to be a better player tomorrow.
That being said, Jodar winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Rafael Jodar winning @2.10 @bet365
Buse – Ugo Carabelli: 02.04.2026 15:00 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Ignacio Buse has won three of his last five matches. He hopes for a solid result this week to get closer to the top 50 in the rankings. In the opening round, Buse upset Berrettini in three tight sets after playing for over three hours.
Camilo Ugo Carabelli has won three of his last five matches. His most significant results were on clay courts last season. This week in Marrakech, the Argentine defeated Skatov in three sets in the opening round after losing the opening set 6-7.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, this will be an almost 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Buse is in great form and has just upset Berrettini. He had two days’ rest, so we expect him to be fully ready for this matchup.
That being said, Buse winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Ignacio Buse winning @1.73 @bet365
