ATP Masters 1000 Miami 1/64-Finals
Jarry – Cobolli: Time TBA
H2H: 1-2
Nicolas Jarry has lost four of his last five matches. His last match was in Santiago on clay, where he lost in the opening round against Ugo Carabelli in three tight sets. This will be his fourth appearance in Miami. Last season, Jarry lost in the quarterfinals against Medvedev in straight sets.
Flavio Cobolli has lost four of his last five matches. Last week in Phoenix, Cobolli lost in the quarterfinals against Nishikori in three tight sets. Last season, Cobolli lost against Norrie in the second round in three tight sets. This will be his second appearance in Miami.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Cobolli is the slight favorite in this matchup, and we agree. He is in bad form, but he has played a couple of solid matches under similar conditions for the last couple of weeks. On the other hand, Jarry has spent the last couple of weeks on clay. We expect Cobolli to be a better player in this matchup.
That being said, Cobolli winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Flavio Cobolli winning @1.73 @bet365
Kovacevic – Kecmanovic: Time TBA
H2H: 1-0
Aleksandar Kovacevic has won five straight matches. Last week in Cap Cana, Kovacevic won the Challenger tournament. Before that, in Indian Wells, Kovacevic lost against Arnaldi in the opening round. He has never made it past the second round here. Last season, Kovacevic lost in the opening round against Marozsan.
Miomir Kecmanovic has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Cap Cana, He lost in straight sets to Dzumhur in the quarterfinals. The Serb was a quarterfinalist in 2022. Last season, Shang defeated Kecmanovic in the opening round.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Kecmanovic is the favorite in this matchup, and we agree. He is a prominent top-50 player who spent most of his youth in the USA, practicing and playing on fast, hard courts. He is a better player than Kovacevic at the highest stage, and we believe he will be a better player.
That being said, Kecmanovic winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Miomir Kecmanovic winning @1.50 @bet365
Martinez – Darderi: 19.03.2025 Time TBA
H2H: 1-1
Pedro Martinez has lost five straight matches. The Spaniard is in terrible form. Last week in Phoenix, he lost against Moutet in the opening round in straight sets. Last season in Miami, Martinez failed to qualify for the main draw tournament.
Luciano Darderi has lost four of his last five matches. His last match was in Indian Wells, where he lost against Gaston in the opening round. Last season in Miami, Darderi lost against Shapovalov in the opening round.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Martinez is the slight favorite in this matchup, and we agree. Both players are struggling with their form. However, Martinez is a more experienced player, competing at the Masters 1000 level. His experience will prevail in this matchup.
That being said, Martinez winning is a value bet.
