ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo semifinals
Zverev – Sinner: 11.04.2026 13:30 CEST
H2H: 4-8
Alexander Zverev has won four of his last five matches. This week in Monte Carlo, Zverev defeated Garin in three tight sets. He trailed 0-4 and 3-5 in the deciding set, but turned it around. In the 1/8-Finals, the German defeated Bergs in straight sets. Besides losing his serve twice, Zverev dominated throughout the match. In the quarterfinals, the German outlasted Fonseca in three tight sets. Last season in Monte Carlo, Zverev lost to Berrettini in the second round in three sets.
Jannik Sinner has won fifteen straight matches. He has won consecutive Masters 1000 titles in Indian Wells and Miami. This week in Monte Carlo, Sinner demolished Humbert in the opening match in straight sets. He served well, not offering any breakpoints. In the 1/8-Finals, Sinner defeated Machac in three sets. The Italian reached the semifinals here in 2023 and 2024, which were also his best results. In the quarterfinals, Sinner defeated Auger-Aliassime in straight sets comfortably.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Sinner is the clear favourite in this matchup, and we agree: that, aside from losing one set against Machac, the Italian dominated every match. On the other hand, Zverev has struggled in two matches so far and has lost the past four head-to-head meetings against Sinner without winning a set.
That being said, Sinner covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Jannik Sinner -4.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365
Alcaraz – Vacherot: 11.04.2026 15:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Carlos Alcaraz has won four of his last five matches. This week in Monte Carlo, the Spaniard defeated Baez in the opening match in straight sets. In the 1/8-Finals, Alcaraz defeated Etcheverry in three sets. Besides struggling on his serve in the second set, the Spaniard dominated in the opening and third sets. In the quarterfinals, Alcaraz demolished Bublik 6-3, 6-0. He is the defending champion here. Last season, Alcaraz defeated Musetti in the final.
Valentin Vacherot has won four of his last five matches. This week in Monte Carlo, Vacherot defeated J.M. Cerundolo in three sets, after losing the opening set. In the 1/8-Finals, he defeated Hurkacz in three sets after losing the opening set 6-7. In the quarterfinals, Vacherot upset de Minaur in three tight sets. Last season in Monte Carlo, Vacherot lost to Dimitrov in the second round.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Alcaraz is the heavy favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Vacherot did his maximum and was exhausted. On the other hand, Alcaraz dominated in the quarterfinals, and we expect him to do so today as well.
That being said, Alcaraz covering the games handicap is a value bet.
