ATP Hangzhou Best Bets Including Cilic vs Basavareddy

ATP 250 Hangzhou 1/16-Finals

Basavareddy – Cilic: 18.09.2025 10:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Nishesh Basavareddy has won four of his last five matches. Last week, Basavareddy lost to Tabilo in the quarterfinals of the Challenger tournament. This week in Hangzhou, Basavareddy qualified for the main draw tournament by winning both qualifying matches in straight sets.

Marin Cilic has lost four straight matches. His last win was over two months ago at Wimbledon. Last week in Croatia, Cilic lost both Davis Cup matches against France.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Cilic is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He enjoys playing on hard courts in Asia. The Croat struggled with his form for the past few weeks. However, we expect a solid performance this week, and we expect him to at least keep this match tight.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Marin Cilic +2.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365

Walton – Korda: 18.09.2025 10:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Adam Walton has lost three of his last five matches. The last match he played was at the US Open, when Wong upset him in the second round. His best results this season were at the Challenger Tour level.

Sebastian Korda has won three of his last five matches. The last match he played was at the US Open, when he retired mid-match against Norrie in the opening match. The American struggled with injuries this season and has not played many matches.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Walton is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. Korda has not had any remarkable results this season. He is on the verge of dropping outside the top 100. On the other hand, Walton had solid results at the Challenger Tour level. We expect him to keep this match tight if he serves well.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Adam Walton +2.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365

Bu – Zhang: 18.09.2025 13:30 CEST
H2H: 0-1

Yunchaokete Bu has won three of his last five matches. Last week, Bu played for China in the Davis Cup. He played only one match and won against Buldorini in straight sets. This will be his second appearance in Hangzhou. Last season, Bu reached the semifinals, when he eventually lost to Zhang in straight sets.

Zhizhen Zhang has lost four straight matches. So far this season, Zhang has played around a dozen matches only. His constant injuries ruined this season. The last match he played was in Indian Wells, around six months ago. He has been granted a wild card this week.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Bu is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Zhang has not played any competitive matches for the past six months. On the other hand, Bu had decent results over the past few months. We expect him to dominate and win easily.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Yunchaokete Bu -3.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365
