ATP 250 Hertogenbosch 1/8-Finals
Borges – Virtanen: 12.06.2025 Time TBA
H2H: 1-2
Nuno Borges has won three of his last five matches. This week in Hertogenbosch, Borges defeated Basavareddy in straight sets. He trailed 1-4 in the opening set but turned it around. In the second set, Borges dominated from the start until the end. Last season, he has not had any wins on grass.
Otto Virtanen has won six straight matches. Last week in Birmingham, Virtanen won the Challenger Tour title. This week in Hertogenbosch, he defeated Etcheverry in straight sets. He trailed in both sets but still came out on top. Virtanen has been granted a wild card this week.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Borges is the slight favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. He has never succeeded on grass courts. On the other hand, Virtanen plays his best tennis and is on a 6-match winning streak. We expect him to be a better player tomorrow and win.
That being said, Virtanen winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Otto Virtanen winning @2.20 @bet365
Opelka – Jarry: 12.06.2025 Time TBA
H2H: 0-1
Reilly Opelka has won three of his last five matches. This week in Hertogenbosch, Opelka failed to qualify for the main draw tournament, losing against Lajal in the final qualifying round. However, with several players withdrawing from the tournament, the American entered the tournament as a lucky loser. He defeated de Jong in three tight sets in the opening main draw round after losing the opening set 6-7.
Nicolas Jarry has lost three of his last five matches. This week in Hertogenbosch, he won the opening-round match against Darderi in three tight sets. He turned the match around after losing the opening set 5-7.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Opelka is a better grass-court player than Jarry, and we expect him to get the job done tomorrow.
That being said, Opelka winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Reilly Opelka winning @1.91 @bet365
Popyrin – Bergs: 12.06.2025 Time TBA
H2H: 1-1
Alexei Popyrin has won three of his last five matches. His last match was at the French Open, where he lost against Paul in the 1/8-Finals. His last grass court match was last season at Wimbledon, losing against Djokovic in three tight sets.
Zizou Bergs has lost four of his last five matches. This week in Hertogenbosch, He won the opening-round match against Blockx in three tight sets. After losing the second set 1-6, Bergs dominated in the deciding set.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Popyrin is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is a better and more experienced player on grass courts. Popyrin is one of the biggest favourites to win the title this week, and we expect him to win his opening-round match easily.
That being said, Popyrin winning is a value bet.
