Fearnley – de Minaur: 16.04.2025 Time TBA<\/strong> Jacob Fearnley has won three of his last five matches. This week in Barcelona, Fearnley failed to qualify for the main draw tournament, losing against Galan in the final qualifying round. However, with several players withdrawing, Fearnley entered the main tournament as a lucky loser. The Brit defeated Carballes Baena in straight sets in the opening main draw round.<\/p>\n Alex de Minaur has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Monte Carlo, he lost in the semifinals against Musetti in three sets. Today, in the opening round of the ATP 500 Barcelona, he defeated Etcheverry comfortably in straight sets.<\/p>\n According to the bookies, de Minaur is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He had a great run last week in Monte Carlo, and we expect him to go deep into Barcelona. On the other hand, Fearnley never had any success on clay courts. We expect de Minaur to win easily.<\/p>\n That said, de Minaur winning in straight sets is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n Value bet\/ the best odds: Alex de Minaur winning 2-0 @1.50 @bet365<\/strong><\/p>\n Medjedovic – Ruud: 16.04.2025 Time TBA<\/strong> Hamad Medjedovic has won four of his last five matches. This week in Barcelona, Medjedovic qualified for the main draw tournament. In the opening main draw round, the Serb defeated Mpetshi Perricard in straight sets.<\/p>\n Casper Ruud has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Monte Carlo, Ruud lost in the 1\/8-Finals against Popyrin. Today, in the opening round of the ATP Barcelona, he defeated Galan in straight sets easily, not offering any breakpoints.<\/p>\n According to the bookies, Ruud is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Medjedovic has not had any remarkable results on clay this season. Ruud is a clay court specialist, and we expect him to win straight sets tomorrow.<\/p>\n That being said, Ruud winning in straight sets is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n Value bet\/ the best odds: Casper Ruud winning 2-0 @2.10 @bet365<\/strong><\/p>\n Tsitsipas – Korda: 16.04.2025 Time TBA<\/strong> Stefanos Tsitsipas has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Monte Carlo, Tsitsipas lost in the quarterfinals against Musetti in three sets. He was the finalist here in 2023 and 2024. Today, in the opening round, Tsitsipas defeated Opelka in straight sets.<\/p>\n Sebastian Korda has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Monte Carlo, Korda lost in the opening round against Lehecka in straight sets. Yesterday, after losing the opening set, Korda won the opening round match against Arnaldi in three sets.<\/p>\n According to the bookies, Korda is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He played great in the second and third sets, and we expect him to continue in that fashion tomorrow as well. We expect a tight match that could go either way.<\/p>\n That being said, Korda covering the games handicap is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n Value bet\/ the best odds: Sebastian Korda +3.5 games handicap @1.85<\/p>\n Main Photo Credit: Mike Frey-Imagn Images<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ATP 500 Barcelona 1\/8-Finals Fearnley – de Minaur: 16.04.2025 Time TBA H2H: first meeting Jacob Fearnley has won three of his last five matches.
