Harris failed to qualify for the main draw tournament this week in Eastbourne, losing against Loffhagen in the final qualifying round. However, with several players withdrawing from the tournament, Harris entered the main draw tournament as a lucky loser. The Brit defeated Norrie and Bellucci in straight sets in the main draw.<\/p>\n<p>Ugo Humbert has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Halle, Humbert lost in the opening round against Shapovalov in three tight sets. This week in Eastbourne, the Frenchman defeated Sonego in straight sets.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Bet to Make<\/h2>\n<p>According to the bookies, Harris is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He has nothing to lose, but the Brit entered the main draw as a lucky loser and dominated both matches. We expect him to keep this match tight.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, <strong>Harris covering the games handicap is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Value bet\/ the best odds: Billy Harris +3.5 games handicap @1.91 @bet365<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Brooksby &#8211; Evans: 26.06.2025 13:30 CEST<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>H2H: first meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jenson Brooksby has won 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 main draw, Brooksby defeated Comesana and Borges in straight sets.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Evans has won three of his last five matches. Last week in London, he lost in straight sets against Nakashima in the 1\/8-Finals. This week in Eastbourne, Evans has been granted a wild card. Evans defeated Kecmanovic in three tight sets in the opening round after losing the opening set 3-6. In the second round, he upset Paul in three tight 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. Brooksby was more dominant this week in the main draw. Evans spent more time on the court, and we expect Brooksby to be a better player tomorrow.<\/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 @1.91 @bet365<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mensik &#8211; Davidovich Fokina: 26.06.2025 16:30 CEST<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>H2H: 1-2<\/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. This week in Eastbourne, he defeated Opelka in straight sets in the opening round.<\/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. In the second round, Davidovich Fokina defeated Duckworth 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. The Czech has been one of the most consistent players this season. He is a better grass-court player than Davidovich Fokina, and we expect him to win easily.<\/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 @1.50 @bet365<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: Andy Abeyta\/Desert Sun\/USAToday Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ATP 250 Eastbourne quarterfinals Harris &#8211; Humbert: 26.06.2025 12:00 CEST H2H: first meeting Billy Harris has won three of his last five matches.
