Ruud – Medvedev: 01.05.2025 13:00 CEST<\/strong> Casper Ruud has won four of his last five matches. The Norwegian won all three matches in straight sets this week in Madrid. Ruud defeated Fritz in the 1\/8-Finals 7-5 6-4. He was a better player throughout the whole match. Last season in Madrid, Ruud reached the fourth round, losing against Auger-Aliassime in straight sets.<\/p>\n Daniil Medvedev has won four of his last five matches. This week in Madrid, Djere retired from the opening-round match against Medvedev. Yesterday, in the third round, Medvedev demolished J.M. Cerundolo 6-2 6-2. He was great under pressure, offering and saving only one breakpoint. In the 1\/8-Finals, Medvedev won against Nakashima in three sets. Last season in Madrid, Medvedev reached the quarterfinals, losing against Lehecka.<\/p>\n According to the bookies, Ruud is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is a way better clay-court player than Medvedev. This will be their first meeting on clay, and we expect Ruud to win easily.<\/p>\n That being said, Ruud winning is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n Value bet\/ the best odds: Casper Ruud winning @1.57 @bet365<\/strong><\/p>\n Cerundolo – Mensik: 01.05.2025 15:00 CEST<\/strong> Francisco Cerundolo has won four of his last five matches. This week in Madrid, the Argentine easily won the opening two matches in straight sets. Cerundolo prolonged his winning streak against Zverev in the 1\/8-Finals, winning in straight sets.<\/p>\n Jakub Mensik has won four of his last five matches. The Czech won all three matches in straight sets this week in Madrid. Bublik also had no answer for Mensik\u2019s game. The Czech defeated Bublik 6-3 6-2, saving all three breakpoints. He served great throughout the match, not offering any breakpoints.<\/p>\n According to the bookies, Cerundolo is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Mensik has had a favourable draw so far, but this will be his toughest challenge. Cerundolo is in great form and has faced tough opponents en route to the quarterfinals. The Argentine is a better clay-court player than Mensik, so we expect him to win easily.<\/p>\n That being said, Cerundolo winning is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n Value bet\/ the best odds: Francisco Cerundolo winning @1.67 @bet365<\/strong><\/p>\n Draper – Arnaldi: 01.05.2025 16:30 CEST<\/strong> Jack Draper has won three of his last five matches. This week in Madrid, he has yet to lose a set. In the 1\/8-Finals, Draper demolished Paul in straight sets.<\/p>\n Matteo Arnaldi has won four of his last five matches. This week in Madrid, the young Italian upset Djokovic in the second round, winning in straight sets. In the 1\/8-Finals, Arnaldi defeated Tiafoe in straight sets.<\/p>\n According to the bookies, Arnaldi is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He is fully confident after defeating Djokovic in straight sets. He is a clay-court specialist, and we expect him to put up a big fight and keep this match tight.<\/p>\n That being said, Arnaldi covering the games handicap is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n Value bet\/ the best odds: Matteo Arnaldi +3.5 games handicap @1.80 @bet365<\/p>\n Main Photo Credit: Susan Mullane-USA TODAY Sports<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ATP Masters 1000 Madrid quarterfinals Ruud – Medvedev: 01.05.2025 13:00 CEST H2H: 0-3 Casper Ruud has won four of his last five matches.
