ATP 250 Chengdu 1/16-Finals

Misolic – Mpetshi Perricard: 18.09.2025 07:00 CEST
H2H: 1-0

Filip Misolic has lost three of his last five matches. The last match he played was in Winston-Salem, where he lost against Kovacevic in the opening round in straight sets. This will be his debut campaign in Chengdu. His best result this season on hard courts was in Tenerife, when he reached the final in the Challenger tournament.

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard has won three of his last five matches. The last match he played was at the US Open, where he lost against Musetti in the opening round in four tight sets. This will be his second appearance in Chengdu. Last season, the Frenchman lost to Hanfmann in the second round.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Mpetshi Perricard is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Misolic won against the Frenchman on clay. However, on hard courts, Mpetshi Perricard should dominate and win easily.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard -2.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365

Atmane – Prizmic: 18.09.2025 08:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Terence Atmane has won four of his last five matches. The last match he played was in Cincinnati, where he had a decent run. Sinner eventually stopped him in the semifinals. With that result, the Frenchman entered the top 70 in the rankings.

Dino Prizmic has won three of his last five matches. Last week, the Croat lost against Moutet in three sets. Croatia played on clay and lost to France.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Atmane is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He is in great form and will be confident coming into this matchup. On the other hand, Prizmic played recently on clay in Croatia, and just a few days later, he will face Atmane on a hard court in China. We expect Atmane to be a better player.

That being said, Atmane winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Terence Atmane winning @2.20 @bet365

Shevchenko – Monfils: 18.09.2025 10:30 CEST
H2H: 1-0

Alexander Shevchenko has won three of his last five matches. Last week, Shevchenko played for Kazakhstan in the Davis Cup. He defeated Chung in straight sets. This will be his debut campaign in Chengdu.

Gael Monfils has lost four straight matches. His last win was over two months ago at Wimbledon. The last match he played was at the US Open, where he lost to Safiullin in the opening round in five tight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Monfils is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He enjoys playing on hard courts. Shevchenko is a solid clay-court player, but he never succeeded on hard courts. We believe Monfils will win easily if he serves well tomorrow.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Gael Monfils -2.5 games handicap @1.73 @bet365
