ATP Basel Best Bets Including Korda vs Humbert

ATP 500 Basel 1/16-Finals

Van de Zandschulp – Lehecka: 22.10.2025 12:00 CEST
H2H: 0-2

Botic van de Zandschulp has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Brussels, the Dutchman lost to Spizzirri in the second round in straight sets. This week in Basel, van de Zandschulp failed to qualify for the main draw tournament. However, with several players withdrawing from the tournament, he entered the main draw as a lucky loser.

Jiri Lehecka has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Brussels, Lehecka had a solid run. He finished as a runner-up, losing to Auger-Aliassime in the final in three tight sets. Last season in Basel, Lehecka lost in the opening round against Martinez Portero in straight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Lehecka is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is a better indoor hard-court player than van de Zandschulp. He leads 2-0 in head-to-head meetings against the Dutchman and is coming into this match after a solid week in Brussels.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Jiri Lehecka -3.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365

Korda – Humbert: 22.10.2025 13:30 CEST
H2H: 0-1

Sebastian Korda has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Stockholm, Korda lost to Ruud in the quarterfinals in three tight sets. This will be his second appearance in Basel. In 2023, Korda lost to Etcheverry in the opening round.

Ugo Humbert has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Stockholm, the Frenchman lost to Ruud in the final in straight sets. Last season in Basel, Humbert lost to Goffin in the second round in three sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, this will be an almost 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Humbert is one of the best indoor hard court players. Korda is in bad form, so we expect Humbert to have an edge in this match.

That being said, Humbert winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Ugo Humbert winning @2.20 @bet365

Ruud – Halys: 22.10.2025 14:00 CEST
H2H: 2-1

Casper Ruud has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Stockholm, Ruud defeated Humbert in the final in straight sets. This will be his fifth appearance in Basel. Last season in Basel, Ruud lost to Bautista-Agut in the opening round in three tight sets.

Quentin Halys has lost three of his last five matches. This week in Basel, Halys failed to qualify for the main draw of the tournament. However, with several players withdrawing from the tournament, the Frenchman entered the main draw as a lucky loser.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Halys is the big underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. Ruud is coming into this matchup after a tough week in Stockholm. Halys has a solid serve, and we expect him to keep this match close.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Quentin Halys +3.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365
