Fils – Altmaier: 06.02.2025 12:30 CEST<\/strong> Arthur Fils has won four of his last five matches. Two weeks ago at the Australian Open, Fils retired mid-match against Humbert in the third round. Last week, Arthur helped France win the Davis Cup meeting against Brazil, winning against Seyboth Wild in straight sets. Last season, Fils secured two ATP 500 titles and entered the top 20 in the rankings. Today, in the opening round, Arthur defeated Lestienne in three sets. It is his first appearance in Rotterdam. He is a great indoor hardcourt player, and we expect him to go deep this week.<\/p>\n Daniel Altmaier has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Montpellier, he lost in the opening round against Bu in straight sets, as we predicted.<\/a> This week in Rotterdam, he failed to qualify for the main draw tournament. However, with several players withdrawing from the tournament, Daniel entered the main draw as a lucky loser. In the opening round, he won against Kovacevic after losing the first set 1-6.<\/p>\n According to the bookies, Fils is the favorite in this matchup, and we agree. Arthur lost the opening set against Lestienne 6-7. However, once he stepped up his level, Fils dominated until the end. On the other hand, Altmaier has never had any success on indoor hard courts. We expect Fils to win easily tomorrow.<\/p>\n That being said, Fils winning in straight sets is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n Value bet\/ the best odds: Arthur Fils winning 2-0 @1.80 @bet365<\/strong><\/p>\n Mensik – de Minaur: 06.02.2025 11:00 CEST<\/strong> Jakub Mensik has won three of his last five matches. Two weeks ago in Melbourne, Jakub reached the third round, losing against Davidovich Fokina in five sets after being 2-0 up. This week in Rotterdam, Mensik won the opening-round match against Bublik in straight sets. Besides losing his serve once late in the second set, Mensik served great. It is his first appearance in Rotterdam.<\/p>\n Alex de Minaur won four of his last five matches. Two weeks ago in Melbourne, Alex reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, losing against Sinner in straight sets as we predicted.<\/a> Last week, Alex helped Australia get the win against Sweden, winning against Mikael Ymer.\u00a0 Alex is the third seed this week in Rotterdam. In the opening round, as we predicted, de Minaur won against Goffin in straight sets.<\/a> He saved all three breakpoints and was great under pressure. Last year in Rotterdam, Alex finished as a runner-up, losing against Sinner in the final in straight sets.<\/p>\n According to the bookies, Mensik is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. Jakub has been playing well for the last couple of weeks. He enjoys playing on fast courts. Yesterday, in the opening round, Jakub dominated Bublik with his serve and heavy forehand. We believe he will hold his service games easily and keep this match tight.<\/p>\n That being said, Mensik covering the games handicap is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n Value bet\/ the best odds: Jakub Mensik +3.5 games handicap @1.80 @bet365<\/p>\n <\/strong>Main Photo Credit: Andy Abeyta\/Desert Sun\/USAToday Network<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ATP 500 Rotterdam 1\/8-Finals Fils – Altmaier: 06.02.2025 12:30 CEST H2H: 3-2 Arthur Fils has won four of his last five matches.
