ATP 250 Winston-Salem 1/16-Finals
Kopriva – Korda: 18.08.2025 21:30 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Vit Kopriva has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Cincinnati, Kopriva lost to Galan in the opening round in straight sets. This week in Winston-Salem, Kopriva defeated Ofner in the opening round in three tight sets, after losing the opening set 3-6.
Sebastian Korda has won three of his last five matches. His last match was at the French Open, when he lost to Tiafoe in the third round in three sets. The American struggled with the injuries for the past few months. His last hard-court match was in Miami in March, when Djokovic defeated him in the quarterfinals in straight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Kopriva is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. Korda has not played any competitive matches for a while. On the other hand, Kopriva played several hard-court matches and has already won the opening match this week. We expect him to keep this match close.
That being said, Kopriva covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Vit Kopriva +3.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365
Navone – Suresh: 18.08.2025 22:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Mariano Navone has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Cincinnati, Navone lost to Walton in the opening round in three tight sets. The Argentine never succeeded on hard courts.
Dhakshineswar Suresh has won three of his last five matches. This week in Winston-Salem, Suresh surprisingly qualified for the main draw tournament. He upset Tabilo in the final qualifying round, after losing the opening set 1-6.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Navone is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Suresh is an ITF-level player, and we expect his level to drop in the opening main draw round. Navone struggles on hard courts, but he is still a better player with more qualities. We expect him to get the job done easily.
That being said, Navone covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Mariano Navone -3.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365
Kovacevic – Misolic: 18.08.2025 21:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Aleksandar Kovacevic has lost four of his last five matches. Last week in Cincinnati, Kovacevic lost to Medjedovic in the opening round in straight sets. So far this season, he has had his best results on hard courts. Just a month ago, the American lost to Shapovalov in the final of the ATP 250 in Los Cabos.
Filip Misolic has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Sumter, Misolic lost in three tight sets against Mochizuki in the quarterfinals.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Kovacevic is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Misolic is a better clay-court player, but on hard courts, Kovacevic had better results and has a better playing style. We expect Kovacevic to win tonight.
That being said, Kovacevic winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Aleksandar Kovacevic winning @1.67 @bet365
