ATP 250 Almaty 1/16-Finals

Schoolkate – Walton: 14.10.2025 08:00 CEST
H2H: 4-3

Tristan Schoolkate has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Jinan, Schoolkate lost to Zhou in the opening round of the Challenger tournament. This will be his debut campaign in Almaty. He hopes for a solid result to cement his top 100 status.

Adam Walton has lost four of his last five matches. Last week in Jinan, Walton lost to Holt in the second round in straight sets. This will be his debut campaign in Almaty.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Schoolkate has won the past three head-to-head meetings against Walton. Earlier this season in Miami, Schoolkate won against Walton in the final qualifying round in straight sets. Both players are out of form, but Schoolkate has an answer for Walton’s game. We expect him to win.

That being said, Schoolkate winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Tristan Schoolkate winning @2.00 @bet365

Jarry – Skatov: 14.10.2025 09:30 CEST
H2H: 1-0

Nicolas Jarry has lost six straight matches. The last match he played was in Villena at the Challenger tournament, where he lost to Gentzsch in straight sets. The last match he won was at Wimbledon, when he defeated Fonseca in the third round.

Timofey Skatov has lost five straight matches. Last week in Jinan, Skatov lost to Santillan in the opening qualifying round. His previous win was around two months ago, when he won the Challenger title in Italy on clay. He has been granted a wild card this week in Almaty.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Both players are in terrible form. However, Skatov will play at home and will have a packed crowd on his side. Having the crowd on your side is crucial when you struggle with the form. We expect Skatov, who enjoys playing on hard courts, to be a better player tomorrow.

That being said, Skatov winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Timofey Skatov winning @1.91 @bet365

Djere – Shevchenko: 14.10.2025 16:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Laslo Djere has lost five straight matches. Last week in Jinan, Djere lost against Wong in the opening qualifying round in straight sets. His previous win was around four months ago in Mallorca on grass. He reached the quarterfinals here in 2021.

Alexander Shevchenko has won three of his last five matches. The last match he played was in Shanghai, where Nishioka demolished him in the opening round 6-1, 6-2. Last season in Almaty, the Kazakh lost to Cerundolo in the quarterfinals in straight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, this will be an almost 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Djere is in terrible form and has been winless in nearly four months. On the other hand, Shevchenko was a quarterfinalist here last season and will have a crowd on his side.

That being said, Shevchenko winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Alexander Shevchenko winning @1.73 @bet365
