The ATP Halle round of 16 on June 17 features several players beginning to find rhythm on grass ahead of Wimbledon. Hubert Hurkacz bounced back strongly from an early loss in ’s-Hertogenbosch by defeating Andrey Rublev in straight sets and now faces home favourite Daniel Altmaier, who also impressed in his opener. Daniil Medvedev continues his strong transition onto grass after a comfortable opening-round win against Tomas Martin Etcheverry and looks increasingly dangerous on faster courts once again. Meanwhile, Learner Tien faces one of the toughest tests of his young career against Felix Auger-Aliassime after both players came through difficult first-round matches in Halle.
ATP Halle 1/8-Finals
Hurkacz – Altmaier: 17.06.2026 14:30 CEST
H2H: 2-0
Hubert Hurkacz has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Hertogenbosch, Hurkacz lost to Fucsovics in the opening match in three sets. He hopes for a solid result this week to get back into the top 100. In the opening round, the Pole defeated Rublev in straight sets.
Daniel Altmaier has lost three of his last five matches. This week in Halle, Altmaier defeated Basilashvili in the opening match in straight sets. He served well, offering only two breakpoints.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Hurkacz is the clear favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He dominated in the opening match and leads 2-0 in head-to-head meetings against Altmaier. We expect him to dominate the rallies.
That being said, Hurkacz covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the bet odds: Hubert Hurkacz -3.5 games handicap @1.91 @bet365
Tien – Auger-Aliassime: 17.06.2026 14:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Learner Tien has won four of his last five matches. This week in Halle, Tien defeated Schoenhaus in the opening match in straight sets. He offered and saved two breakpoints throughout the match.
Felix Auger-Aliassime has won three of his last five matches. This week in Halle, the Canadian defeated Borges in three sets. He lost his serve only once.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, this will be an almost 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Tien played well in the opening match, and he is yet to show us his best tennis on grass. Auger-Aliassime rarely succeeded on grass. We expect Tien to keep this match close.
That being said, Tien covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Learner Tien +1.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365
Atmane – Medvedev: 17.06.2026 16:00 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Terence Atmane has lost four of his last five matches. Last week in Hertogenbosch, the Frenchman lost to Borges in the opening match. This week in Halle, Atmane defeated Landaluce in the opening match in three sets.
Daniil Medvedev has won three of his last five matches. This week, the Russian defeated Etcheverry in the opening match in straight sets. Last season in Halle, Medvedev lost to Bublik in the final.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Medvedev is the clear favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is in solid form and dominated in the opening match against Etcheverry. We expect him to win easily.
That being said, Medvedev covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Daniil Medvedev -3.5 games handicap @1.80 @bet365
