ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells 1/32-Finals
Zverev – Griekspoor: 07.03.2025 20:00 CEST
H2H: 6-1
Alexander Zverev has won three of his last five matches. His last match was in Acapulco, where Tien upset him in the second round. It is his tenth appearance in Indian Wells. He was stopped in the quarterfinals last season, which has also been his best result here.
Tallon Griekspoor has won four of his last five matches. This week in Indian Wells, Griekspoor won his opening-round match against Kecmanovic in three sets after losing the opening set 6-7. Last season, Griekspoor lost in the third round against Zverev in straight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Zverev is the big favorite in this matchup, but we disagree. Griekspoor played well against Kecmanovic in the opening round, but Zverev has had terrible results for the last couple of weeks. We expect Griekspoor to put up a big fight and keep this match tight.
That being said, Griekspoor covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Tallon Griekspoor +3.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365
Norrie – Lehecka: 07.03.2025 21:30 CEST
H2H: 2-1
Cameron Norrie has won three of his last five matches. This week in Indian Wells, Norrie won the opening round match against Nardi 6-0 6-3. The Brit has already won the title in Indian Wells in 2021. He was stopped last season in the third round.
Jiri Lehecka has won three of his last five matches. His last match was in Dubai, where he lost against Humbert in straight sets in the opening round. It is his third appearance in Indian Wells. Last season, Lehecka lost in the quarterfinals against Sinner.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Norrie is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He was brilliant in the opening round match. On the other hand, Lehecka was demolished in his last match in Dubai. We expect Norrie’s experience playing in Indian Wells to prevail in this match.
That being said, Norrie winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Cameron Norrie winning @2.50 @bet365

Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Bergs enjoys playing this season and has been one of the most consistent players. He will be fully confident coming into this matchup. On the other hand, Popyrin has secured only one win this season so far.
That being said, Bergs winning is a value bet.
