ATP 250 Winston-Salem 1/8-Finals
Kecmanovic – Darderi: 20.08.2025 20:00 CEST
H2H: 1-1
Miomir Kecmanovic has lost four of his last five matches. His last match before the ATP Winston-Salem was in Cincinnati, where he lost to Quinn in the opening match in straight sets. This week in Winston-Salem, the Serb defeated Kovacevic in the opening round in straight sets.
Luciano Darderi has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Cincinnati, Darderi retired against Comesana in the second round. This week, the Italian defeated McDonald in the opening match in three tight sets. After playing for almost three hours, Darderi won 6-4 in the deciding set.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Kecmanovic is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He played his best tennis in the opening round against Kovacevic. On the other hand, Darderi is a clay-court specialist who rarely succeeds on hard courts. We expect Kecmanovic to have more weapons for this matchup and win.
That being said, Kecmanovic winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Miomir Kecmanovic winning @1.57 @bet365
Majchrzak – Korda: 20.08.2025 20:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Kamil Majchrzak has won seven straight matches. Last week in Poland, Majchrzak won the Challenger title on hard, defeating Prizmic in the final in straight sets. This week in Winston-Salem, the Pole defeated Jarry in the opening round in straight sets. He served great, not offering any breakpoints. In the second round, Majchrzak defeated Borges in straight sets. He offered and saved three breakpoints.
Sebastian Korda has won three of his last five matches. His last match before the ATP Winston Salem 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. This week in Winston-Salem, Korda defeated Kopriva in straight sets easily.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Majchrzak is the slight underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. Korda has not played many competitive matches for the past few months. On the other hand, Majchrzak dominated in the past few weeks. He serves great, and we expect him to continue his winning streak.
That being said, Majchrzak winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Kamil Majchrzak winning @2.30 @bet365
Bautista-Agut – Fucsovics: 20.08.2025 21:30 CEST
H2H: 3-3
Roberto Bautista-Agut has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Cincinnati, the Spaniard lost to Shelton in the third round in straight sets. He hopes for a solid result this week to cement his top 50 status. In the opening round, O’Connell retired mid-match against the Spaniard.
Marton Fucsovics has won three of his last five matches. This week in Winston-Salem, Fucsovics defeated Gaston in straight sets comfortably. He served well throughout the match. In the second round, the Hungarian defeated Griekspoor in three sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, this will be an almost 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Fucsovics played great this week in Winston-Salem. Last season in Doha under similar conditions, he defeated Bautista-Agut in straight sets easily. We expect a similar outcome tonight.
That being said, Fucsovics winning is a value bet.
