ATP 500 Munich 1/16-Finals
Bautista-Agut – Van de Zandschulp: 15.04.2025 11:00 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Roberto Bautista-Agut has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Monte Carlo, Bautista-Agut lost in the second round against Ruud in straight sets. He was the semifinalist here thrice. Last season, the Spaniard lost against Norrie in the third round of the ATP 500 Barcelona.
Botic Van de Zandschulp has lost three of his last five matches. This week in Munich, he failed to qualify for the main draw tournament, losing against Tien in the final qualifying round. However, with several players withdrawing from the tournament, Van de Zandschulp entered the main draw as a lucky loser.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, this will be an almost 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Van de Zandschulp has struggled with his form for the last few months. On the other hand, Bautista-Agut is an experienced clay-court specialist, and we expect him to win.
That being said, Bautista-Agut winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Roberto Bautista-Agut winning @2.10 @bet365
Lehecka – Darderi: 15.04.2025 11:00 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Jiri Lehecka has lost four of his last five matches. Last season in Monte Carlo, Lehecka lost in the second round to Musetti in three sets. In his debut campaign 2022, he lost against Rune in the opening round.
Luciano Darderi has won nine of his last ten matches. The young Italian is playing his best tennis and enjoys playing on clay. Last week in Marrakech, Darderi won the title, losing only one set throughout the tournament. This is his debut campaign in Munich.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Darderi is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. So far this season, Darderi has performed well on clay. Lehecka had his biggest results on hard courts, and we expect Darderi to be a better player on clay tomorrow.
That being said, Darderi winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Luciano Darderi winning @2.38 @bet365
Cerundolo – Struff: 15.04.2025 12:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Francisco Cerundolo has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Monte Carlo, Cerundolo lost against Alcaraz in three sets in the second round. He competed here only once in 2022 when he failed to qualify for the main draw.
Jan-Lennard Struff has lost seven straight matches. Last week in Monte Carlo, Vacherot upset Struff in the opening round in straight sets. Last season in Munich, Struff won his maiden ATP title, winning against Fritz in the final.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Cerundolo is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Struff enjoys playing in Munich, but he is in terrible form. His last win was over two months ago. On the other hand, Cerundolo plays well and enjoys playing on clay. We expect him to be a better player and win easily.
That being said, Cerundolo winning in straight sets is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Francisco Cerundolo winning 2-0 @1.80 @bet365
