ATP 250 Stuttgart 1/8-Finals
Shelton – Herbert: 11.06.2025 12:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Ben Shelton has won three of his last five matches. His last match was at the French Open, where he lost against Alcaraz in the 1/8-finals. His last grass court match was last season at Wimbledon, where he lost to Sinner in the 1/8-finals.
Pierre-Hugues Herbert has won four of his last five matches. This week in Stuttgart, the Frenchman qualified for the main draw tournament. In the opening main draw round, Dzumhur retired in the second set against Herbert.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Shelton is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He has yet to show us his best tennis on grass courts, but we believe this will be his breakthrough season. Shelton has all the weapons for these conditions and is a better player than Herbert.
That being said, Shelton covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Ben Shelton -2.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365
Halys – Fritz: 11.06.2025 15:00 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Quentin Halys has won three of his last five matches. This week in Stuttgart, the Frenchman won the opening round match against Sonego in three tight sets after spending almost three hours on the court.
Taylor Fritz has lost four of his last five matches. His last match was at the French Open, where Altmaier upset him in the opening round. His last grass court match was last season at Wimbledon, where he lost against Musetti in the quarterfinals in five tight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Halys is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He served well against Sonego in the opening round. Fritz has not played any competitive matches on grass this season. We expect Halys to keep this match tight.
That being said, Halys covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Quentin Halys +2.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365
Struff – Lehecka: 11.06.2025 17:00 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Jan-Lennard Struff has lost four of his last five matches. It has been a disappointing season for the young German who dropped outside the top 100. This week in Stuttgart, Struff defeated Arnaldi in straight sets. He offered and saved only one breakpoint.
Jiri Lehecka has won three of his last five matches. This week in Stuttgart, Lehecka easily defeated Bonzi in straight sets. The Czech offered and saved two breakpoints. He did not play any competitive matches on the grass last season.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Lehecka is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He will have a successful grass court season. Struff is in terrible form, and we expect Lehecka to be a
better player tomorrow.
That being said, Lehecka winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Jiri Lehecka winning @1.50 @bet365
