This week in Rome, de Jong failed to qualify for the main draw tournament, losing against Seyboth Wild in the final. However, with several players withdrawing from the tournament, de Jong entered the main draw as a lucky loser.<\/p>\n<p>Alexander Shevchenko has won three of his last five matches. This week in Rome, the Kazakh qualified for the main draw tournament by winning both matches in straight sets. In the final qualifying round, he defeated Fucsovics 6-4 6-2 while saving only one breakpoint.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Bet to Make<\/h2>\n<p>According to the bookies, de Jong is the slight favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. Shevchenko played well in the qualifying tournament and enjoys playing on clay courts. We expect him to put up a big fight and keep this match tight.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, <strong>Shevchenko covering the games handicap is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Value bet\/ the best odds: Alexander Shevchenko +2.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Vukic &#8211; Moreno de Alboran: 08.05.2025 11:00 CEST<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>H2H: 1-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Aleksandar Vukic has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Estoril, Vukic reached the semifinals, losing against Pellegrino in straight sets. Last season in Rome, Vukic lost in the second round against Zverev in straight sets.<\/p>\n<p>Nicolas Moreno de Alboran has lost three of his last five matches. This week in Rome, the American qualified for the main draw tournament. In the final qualifying round, he defeated Zeppieri in three sets.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Bet to Make<\/h2>\n<p>According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Being Australian, Vukic never succeeded on clay courts. On the other hand, Moreno de Alboran spent a lot of time playing on clay courts in his career. He had a solid qualifying tournament, and we expect him to be a better player tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, <strong>Moreno de Alboran winning is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Value bet\/ the best odds: Nicolas Moreno de Alboran winning @1.91 @bet365<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Navone &#8211; Cina: 08.05.2025 12:30 CEST<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>H2H: first meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mariano Navone has won three of his last five matches.

His last match was in Madrid; Cina lost against Korda in the second round. This is his debut campaign in Rome.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Bet to Make<\/h2>\n<p>According to the bookies, Navone is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is a more experienced player than Cina.
