ATP Chengdu Best Bets Including Basilashvili vs Baez and Extra Bet

ATP 250 Hangzhou 1/16-Finals

Zeppieri – Sun: 18.09.2025 09:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Giulio Zeppieri has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Guangzhou, Zeppieri retired mid-match against Basavareddy in the 1/8-Finals. This week in Hangzhou, the Italian qualified for the main draw of the tournament. In the final qualifying round, Zeppieri defeated Svrcina in straight sets.

Fajing Sun has lost three of his last five matches. Last week, Sun played in the Davis Cup for China. He lost his singles match against Agwi in three tight sets. He has been granted a wild card this week in Hangzhou.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Zeppieri is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Sun played poorly in the Davis Cup. The Italian played his best tennis this week in the qualifying tournament. We expect him to dominate and win easily.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Giulio Zeppieri -3.5 games handicap @1.73 @bet365

ATP 250 Chengdu 1/16-Finals

McDonald – Van de Zandschulp: 18.09.2025 09:30 CEST
H2H: 1-1

Mackenzie McDonald has won three of his last five matches. This week in Chengdu, McDonald qualified for the main draw tournament. In the final qualifying round, McDonald defeated Budkov Kjaer in three sets, after losing the opening set 4-6.

Botic van de Zandschulp has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Davis Cup, van de Zandschulp lost against Cerundolo in straight sets. The Netherlands eventually lost to Argentina. This will be his debut campaign in Chengdu. He hopes for a solid result to cement his top 100 status.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. McDonald played well in the qualifying tournament this week, especially in the final set of the final qualifying round. On the other hand, van de Zandschulp played poorly in his recent match in Davis Cup. We expect McDonald to be a better player tomorrow.

That being said, McDonald winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Mackenzie McDonald winning @2.00 @bet365

Basilashvili – Baez: 18.09.2025 10:00 CEST
H2H: 1-0

Nikoloz Basilashvili has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Guangzhou, Basilashvili lost in the opening round of the Challenger tournament against McCabe in straight sets. This week in Chengdu, Basilashvili qualified for the main draw tournament by winning both matches in three tight sets.

Sebastian Baez has lost three of his last five matches. The last match he played was at the US Open, where he lost to Harris in the opening round in straight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Basilashvili is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Baez is a clay-court specialist. However, he has not succeeded this season on hard courts. On the other hand, Basilashvili won two qualifying matches already this week. He is a better hard-court player than Baez, and we expect him to win.

That being said, Basilashvili winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Nikoloz Basilashvili winning @1.62 @bet365
