ATP 250 Adelaide 1/16-Finals

Kecmanovic – Vacherot: 12.01.2026 07:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Miomir Kecmanovic has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Hong Kong, Kecmanovic lost to Muller in the opening round in straight sets. Last season in Adelaide, the Serb lost to Korda in the semifinals in straight sets.

Valentin Vacherot has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Brisbane, Vacherot lost to Korda in the opening round in straight sets. He had a breakthrough season last year. This will be his debut campaign in Adelaide. Around this time last season, Vacherot played on the Challenger Tour.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Kecmanovic struggled against Muller in Hong Kong last week. On the other hand, Vacherot had a tough draw in Brisbane, where he fell short to Korda in the opening round. Vacherot enjoys playing on fast courts, and we expect him to play better tomorrow.

That being said, Vacherot winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Valentin Vacherot winning @1.80 @bet365

Humbert – Atmane: 12.01.2026 09:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Ugo Humbert has lost four of his last five matches. So far this season, Humbert played in Brisbane, where he lost to Norrie in the opening match in three tight sets. This is his second appearance in Adelaide and his first appearance in the main draw here.

Terence Atmane has lost four of his last five matches. This week in Brisbane, the Frenchman failed to qualify for the main draw tournament, losing in the final qualifying round to Duckworth. However, with several players withdrawing from the tournament, Atmane entered the main draw as a lucky loser.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Humbert is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. The Frenchman played well against Norrie, but fumbled under pressure. Atmane had no answer for Duckworth in the qualifying tournament. The quality difference is too big, so we expect Humbert to win easily.

That being said, Humbert covering the games handicap is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Ugo Humbert -3.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365

Kokkinakis – Korda: 12.01.2026 10:30 CEST
H2H: 0-4

Thanasi Kokkinakis has won three of his last five matches. The last match he played was last season at the Australian Open, where he lost to Draper in the second round in five tight sets.

Sebastian Korda has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Brisbane, Korda lost to Michelsen in the quarterfinals in straight sets. Last season in Adelaide, the American finished as a runner-up. He lost to Auger-Aliassime in the final in three tight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Korda is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He leads 4-0 in head-to-head meetings against Kokkinakis. The Australian has not played any competitive singles matches for over a year, and we expect him to be rusty coming into this matchup.

That being said, Korda covering the games handicap is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Sebastian Korda -3.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365
