This week in Toronto, Duckworth qualified for the main draw of the tournament. In the final qualifying round, the Australian defeated Boulais in straight sets. This is his seventh appearance in Toronto. He has never made it past the third round.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Bet to Make<\/h2>\n<p>According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Shang has not played any competitive matches for the past seven months. On the other hand, Duckworth played solidly the last few weeks. We expect Duckworth to be a better player tomorrow and win.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, <strong>Duckworth winning is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Value bet\/ the best odds: James Duckworth winning @1.91 @bet365<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bagnis &#8211; Pospisil: 28.07.2025 01:00 CEST<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>H2H: first meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Facundo Bagnis has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Kitzb\u00fchel, Bagni lost in the opening round against Rinderknech in three sets. This week in Toronto, the Argentine player qualified for the main draw of the tournament. In the final qualifying round, Bagnis defeated Atmane in straight sets.<\/p>\n<p>Vasek Pospisil has lost four of his last five matches. So far this season, Pospisil has played two competitive matches and lost both in straight sets. He has been granted a wild card this week in Toronto. The last match he played was in Granby, where Matsuda demolished him in the opening qualifying round.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Bet to Make<\/h2>\n<p>According to the bookies, Bagnis is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Pospisil is in terrible form and far away from his best tennis. He lost to Matsuda 0-6, 1-6 in his last match. We expect Bagnis to be a better player tonight and win easily.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, <strong>Bagnis covering the games handicap is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Value bet\/ the best odds: Facundo Bagnis -4.5 games handicap @1.67 @bet365<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Schoolkate &#8211; Fonseca: 28.07.2025 02:30 CEST<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>H2H: first meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tristan Schoolkate has won three of his last five matches.

In the final qualifying round, Schoolkate defeated Nanda in straight sets.<\/p>\n<p>Joao Fonseca has won three of his last five matches. The last match he played was at Wimbledon, where he lost to Jarry in the third round in four tight sets. This will be his debut campaign in Toronto.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Bet to Make<\/h2>\n<p>According to the bookies, Fonseca is the favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. Schoolkate is a solid hard-court player and has dominated in the final qualifying round. On the other hand, Fonseca has not played any competitive matches for the past three weeks.
