ATP 250 Brisbane quarterfinals

Korda – Michelsen: Time TBA
H2H: first meeting

Sebastian Korda has won four of his last five matches. This week in Brisbane, Korda defeated Vacherot in the opening round in straight sets. In the second set, Korda trailed 1-3, but went on to win five consecutive games and closed out the match. Lehecka retired mid-match against Korda in the second round.

Alex Michelsen has lost three of his last five matches. This week in Brisbane, Michelsen defeated Duckworth in three tight sets after spending almost three hours on the court. After losing the opening set 6-7, the American kept his composure and turned the match around. In the second round, he defeated Tien in straight sets easily.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Michelsen is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He dominated against Tien in the second round and is always a dangerous opponent on hard courts. We expect him to keep this match tight.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Alex Michelsen +2.5 games handicap @1.91 @bet365

Kovacevic – Mpetshi Perricard: Time TBA
H2H: first meeting

Aleksandar Kovacevic has lost three of his last five matches. This week in Brisbane, the Australian defeated Kyrgios in the opening round in straight sets. He served well, not offering any breakpoints. Kovacevic defeated Norrie in the second round in three tight sets.

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard has lost three of his last five matches. This week in Brisbane, the Frenchman upset Paul in three tight sets. He trailed 2-5 in the deciding set tiebreak, but turned it around. Once again, Mpetshi Perricard turned the match around. After losing the opening set 4-6 against Hijikata, the Frenchman won consecutive tiebreaks and closed out the match.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, this will be an almost 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Mpetshi Perricard handles the pressure better and serves better. We expect a tight match with the Frenchman coming out on top.

That being said, Mpetshi Perricard winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard winning @1.73 @bet365

Medvedev – Majchrzak: Time TBA
H2H: first meeting

Daniil Medvedev has won three of his last five matches. This week in Brisbane, Medvedev won the opening match against Fucsovics in straight sets. Even though he lost his serve twice, Medvedev won comfortably. The Russian defeated Tiafoe in the second round in consecutive sets easily.

Kamil Majchrzak has lost three of his last five matches. This week in Brisbane, Majchrzak failed to qualify for the main draw tournament. However, with several players withdrawing from the tournament, the Pole entered the main draw as a lucky loser. In the opening main draw round, Majchrzak defeated Altmaier in straight sets. The Pole saved three match points in the second round match against Opelka.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Medvedev is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He dominated this week in Brisbane, and with his skill set, we expect him to win easily.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Daniil Medvedev -4.5 games handicap @2.20 @bet365
