Last week in London, Borges lost against Bautista-Agut in the opening round in three tight sets. Borges defeated Pinnington Jones in three tight sets this week in Eastbourne after losing the opening set 4-6. Last season around this time, Borges played in Mallorca, where he lost against Michelsen in the opening round.<\/p>\n<p>Jenson Brooksby has lost three of his last five matches. Brooksby failed to qualify for the main draw tournament this week in Eastbourne. However, with several players withdrawing from the tournament, the Brit entered the main draw tournament as a lucky loser. In the opening main draw round, Brooksby defeated Comesana in straight sets.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Bet to Make<\/h2>\n<p>According to the bookies, this will be an almost 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Borges struggled today against Pinnington Jones, who is not as solid as Brooksby. We expect Brooksby to be fully confident coming into this match and win.<\/p>\n<p>That being said,<strong> Brooksby winning is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Value bet\/ the best odds: Jenson Brooksby winning @2.10 @bet365<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mensik &#8211; Opelka: 25.06.2025 13:30 CEST<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>H2H: first meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jakub Mensik has lost three of his last five matches. In three tight sets last week in London, Mensik lost against Bautista-Agut in the 1\/8-Finals.<\/p>\n<p>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. This week in Eastbourne, Opelka defeated Loffhagen in three tight sets.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Bet to Make<\/h2>\n<p>According to the bookies, Mensik is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Opelka struggled against Loffhagen in the opening round. Mensik is one of the biggest favourites to win the title this week, and we expect him to defeat Opelka easily tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, <strong>Mensik winning is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Value bet\/ the best odds: Jakub Mensik winning @1.53 @bet365<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Duckworth &#8211; Davidovich Fokina: 25.06.2025 15:00 CEST<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>H2H: 1-0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>James Duckworth has won three of his last five matches. This week in Eastbourne, Duckworth qualified for the main draw tournament. In the final qualifying round, he won against Monday in straight sets. In the opening main draw round, Duckworth upset Vukic in three sets.<\/p>\n<p>Alejandro Davidovich Fokina has won three of his last five matches. This week in Eastbourne, the Spaniard defeated Tseng in the opening round in straight sets. He was great under pressure, saving both breakpoints.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Bet to Make<\/h2>\n<p>According to the bookies, Davidovich Fokina is the slight favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. Duckworth is a solid grass-court player and has played well this week in Eastbourne. On the other hand, Davidovich Fokina has not played any grass-court matches this season, and we expect Duckworth to keep this match tight.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, <strong>Duckworth covering the games handicap is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Value bet\/ the best odds: James Duckworth +2.5 games handicap @1.80 @bet365<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: Mike Frey-Imagn Images<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ATP 250 Eastbourne 1\/8-Finals Borges &#8211; Brooksby: 25.06.2025 12:00 CEST H2H: first meeting Nuno Borges has won three of his last five matches.
