The remaining ATP 500 Munich Round of 16 matches feature a mix of solid favourites and slight edges. Luciano Darderi and Alexander Zverev are expected to assert control in their respective clashes. At the same time, Flavio Cobolli’s stronger clay-court game gives him a narrow advantage in what looks like a balanced matchup against Zizou Bergs.
ATP 500 Munich 1/8-Finals
Kopriva – Darderi: 15.04.2026 16:30 CEST
H2H: 3-2
Vit Kopriva has lost three of his last five matches. This is his third appearance in Munich. In the opening round, Kopriva defeated Engel in three sets. Besides losing the second set, the Czech dominated throughout the match.
Luciano Darderi has won three of his last five matches. This week in Munich, the Italian defeated Zhang in three sets. Last season in Munich, the Italian lost to Shelton in the quarterfinals in straight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Darderi is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Last season in Marrakech under similar conditions, Darderi defeated Kopriva in straight sets. If he serves well, we expect the Italian to be a better player.
That being said, Darderi covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Luciano Darderi -2.5 games handicap @1.73 @bet365
Zverev – Diallo: Time TBA
H2H: 1-0
Alexander Zverev has won four of his last five matches. This week in Munich, Zverev defeated Kecmanovic in three tight sets. He is the defending champion here in Munich. The German has lifted the trophy three times already.
Gabriel Diallo has lost three of his last five matches. This week in Munich, Diallo defeated Sachko in the opening round in straight sets. He was great under pressure, saving all five breakpoints he offered.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Zverev is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He enjoys playing in Munich. On the other hand, Diallo rarely succeeded on clay courts. We expect Zverev to dominate on his backhand side and get a comfortable win.
That being said, Zverev covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Alexander Zverev -4.5 games handicap @1.91 @bet365
Cobolli – Bergs: 15.04.2026 15:00 CEST
H2H: 2-1
Flavio Cobolli has lost three of his last five matches. This week in Munich, the Italian defeated Dedura in the opening round in straight sets. Last season in Munich, Cobolli lost to Shevchenko in the opening round in three sets.
Zizou Bergs has won three of his last five matches. This week in Munich, Bergs defeated Topo in the opening round in straight sets. He trailed 1-3 in the second set, but turned it around. Last season in Munich, the Belgian lost to Marozsan in the quarterfinals in straight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, this will be an almost 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Cobolli played well in the opening round and is a better clay-court player than Bergs. We expect him to have a slight edge in this clash.
That being said, Cobolli winning is a value bet.
