ATP Basel Best Bets Including Fritz vs Vacherot

ATP 500 Basel 1/8-Finals

Mensik – Fonseca: 22.10.2025 19:30 CEST
H2H: 0-1

Jakub Mensik has won three of his last five matches. This week in Basel, Mensik defeated Bernet in three tight sets in the opening round. It was a poor performance from the Czech. He offered and saved two breakpoints.

Joao Fonseca has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Brussels, Fonseca lost in the opening round against van de Zandschulp in straight sets. This is his debut campaign in Basel. In the opening match, Fonseca defeated Mpetshi Perricard in straight sets. He served well, not offering any breakpoints.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Fonseca is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He served well against Mpetshi Perricard in the opening round. On the other hand, Mensik struggled against the teenager who is outside the top 400 in the rankings. We expect Fonseca to be a better player.

That being said, Fonseca winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Joao Fonseca winning @1.67 @bet365

Brooksby – Davidovich Fokina: 22.10.2025 18:00 CEST
H2H: 1-0

Jenson Brooksby has won three of his last five matches. This week in Basel, the Brit defeated Muller in the opening match in straight sets. He served well, not offering any breakpoints.

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Brussels, Collignon upset the Spaniard in the quarterfinals. This week in Basel, he defeated Sonego in the opening round in straight sets. Davidovich Fokina trailed 1-4 in the opening set, but turned it around.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Brooksby is the slight underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. The Brit dominated in the opening match. He enjoys playing on indoor hard courts. In their only head-to-head meetings, Brooksby defeated Davidovich Fokina in straight sets under similar conditions. We expect a similar outcome tonight.

That being said, Brooksby winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Jenson Brooksby winning @2.10 @bet365

Fritz – Vacherot: 22.10.2025 18:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Taylor Fritz has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Saudi Arabia, Fritz played in an exhibition tournament, where he won third place. This is his fifth appearance in Basel. He has never made it past the quarterfinals here.

Valentin Vacherot has won nine straight matches. The last match he played was in Shanghai, where he upset everyone by winning the Masters 1000 title as a qualifier. Ranked outside the top 200, Vacherot played his best tennis and is now ranked 39 after winning the title.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Vacherot is the heavy underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He had almost two weeks to rest and prepare for the upcoming tournament. No doubt he will be fully confident coming into this matchup. With his heavy serve and confidence, we expect him to keep this match close.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Valentin Vacherot +3.5 games handicap @1.91 @bet365
