Arnaldi – Opelka: Time TBA<\/strong> Matteo Arnaldi has lost three of his last five matches. His last match was in Stuttgart, where he lost against Struff in straight sets. Arnaldi never succeeded on grass courts. Around this time last season, the Italian played in London, where he lost against Hijikata in the 1\/8-Finals.<\/p>\n Reilly Opelka has won three of his last five matches. Last week in London, Opelka lost against Rinderknech in the 1\/8-Finals in straight sets. His last appearance in Eastbourne was in 2022 when he lost against Cressy in the opening round in straight sets.<\/p>\n According to the bookies, this will be an almost 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Opelka is a better grass-court player than Arnaldi and has played more matches on grass this season. At the beginning of the season, Opelka defeated Arnaldi in straight sets, and we expect a similar outcome tomorrow.<\/p>\n That being said, Opelka winning is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n Value bet\/ the best odds: Reilly Opelka winning @1.67 @bet365<\/strong><\/p>\n Bergs – Fonseca: Time TBA<\/strong> Zizou Bergs has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Halle, Bergs lost in the opening round against Khachanov in straight sets. A week before in Hertogenbosch, he lost in a tight final against Diallo in straight sets.<\/p>\n Joao Fonseca has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Halle, Fonseca lost against Cobolli in three tight sets. Around this time last season, the Brazilian played at the Challenger Tour level. This will be his debut campaign in Eastbourne.<\/p>\n According to the bookies, Fonseca is the favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. He has yet to show us his best tennis on grass courts. On the other hand, Bergs is a proven grass-court player. We expect Bergs to be a better player tomorrow and win.<\/p>\n That being said, Bergs winning is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n Value bet\/ the best odds: Zizou Bergs winning @2.50 @bet365<\/strong><\/p>\n Borges – Pinnington Jones: Time TBA<\/strong> Nuno Borges has lost three of his last five matches. So far this season, Borges has played four matches on grass and holds an even 2-2 record. Last week in London, Borges lost against Bautista-Agut in the opening round in three tight sets. Around this time last season, Borges played in Mallorca, where he lost against Michelsen in the opening round.<\/p>\n Jack Pinnington Jones has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Nottingham, Pinnington Jones lost in the opening round of the Challenger tournament against Nava in three tight sets. He has been given a wild card this week in Eastbourne. Around this time last season, the Brit played at the Challenger Tour level.<\/p>\n According to the bookies, Borges is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is more experienced than Pinnington Jones at this level. The Brit is a solid Challenger Tour-level player, but Borges is better despite his recent losses.<\/p>\n That being said, Borges winning is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n Value bet\/ the best odds: Nuno Borges winning @1.50 @bet365<\/p>\n Main Photo Credit: Geoff Burke-Imagn Images<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ATP 250 Eastbourne 1\/16-Finals Arnaldi – Opelka: Time TBA H2H: 0-1 Matteo Arnaldi has lost three of his last five matches.
