ATP Masters 1000 Miami 1/32-Finals
Nakashima – Carballes Baena: 21.03.2025 Time TBA
H2H: first meeting
Brandon Nakashima has won three of his last five matches. His last match was in Indian Wells, where he lost against Shelton in straight sets. Last season in Miami, Nakashima lost in the opening round against Tabilo in three tight sets.
Roberto Carballes Baena has lost four of his last five matches. This week in Miami, the Spaniard won the opening round match against O’Connell in three tight sets after spending almost three hours on the court. He trailed 1-4 in the deciding set but successfully turned it around.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Nakashima is the favorite in this matchup, and we agree. Carballes Baena is a clay court specialist who has never succeeded on hard courts. On the other hand, Nakashima is in solid form and will have a packed crowd. We expect him to dominate in this matchup.
That being said, Nakashima winning in straight sets is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Brandon Nakashima winning 2-0 @2.00 @bet365
Schoolkate – Auger-Aliassime: 21.03.2025 Time TBA
H2H: first meeting
Tristan Schoolkate has won three of his last five matches. This week in Miami, Schoolkate successfully qualified for the main draw tournament. He demolished Quinn 6-0 6-2 in the opening main draw round.
Felix Auger Aliassime has won three of his last five matches. His last match was in Indian Wells, where Brooksby upset him in the opening round. Last season in Miami, he lost in the second round against Zverev in straight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Auger-Aliassime is the big favorite in this matchup, but we disagree. Schoolkate has dominated this week in Miami. He has already won three matches this week and will be confident coming into this match. He is a solid server, and we expect him to keep this match tight.
That being said, Schoolkate covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Tristan Schoolkate +4.5 games handicap @-148 @FanDuel
Tseng – Tsitsipas: 21.03.2025 Time TBA
H2H: first meeting
Chun Hsin Tseng has won four of his last five matches. This week in Miami, Tseng qualified for the main draw tournament. In the opening main draw round, he won against Bellucci in straight sets, offering and saving only one breakpoint.
Stefanos Tsitsipas has won four of his last five matches. His last match was in Indian Wells, where he lost in the 1/8-Finals against Rune in straight sets. A week before, Tsitsipas won the title in Dubai. Last season in Miami, Tsitsipas lost to Shapovalov in the second round.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Tsitsipas is the favorite in this matchup, and we agree. He is way better and more experienced than Tseng. He has been playing his best tennis for the last couple of weeks, and we expect him to dominate this matchup.
That being said, Tsitsipas covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Stefanos Tsitsipas -4.5 games handicap @-152 @FanDuel
