Kovacevic – Nardi: 17.09.2025 08:00 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Aleksandar Kovacevic has lost four of his last five matches. The last match he played was at the US Open, where he lost to Wong in the opening round in straight sets. This will be his debut campaign in Hangzhou.
Luca Nardi has won three of his last five matches. The last match he played was at the US Open, where he lost to Machac in the opening round in straight sets. Nardi hopes for a solid result this week to cement his top 100 status. His most significant results were at the Challenger Tour level.
According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Kovacevic is in bad form and has struggled for the past few weeks. Nardi defeated him on clay earlier this season in straight sets. We expect a similar outcome tomorrow as well.
That being said, Nardi winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Luca Nardi winning @2.00 @bet365
Navone – Tien: 17.09.2025 09:30 CEST
H2H: 1-0
Mariano Navone has lost three of his last five matches. The last match he played was at the US Open, where he lost to Giron in the opening round in five tight sets. He is a clay-court specialist and has not had any remarkable results on hard courts this season. This will be his debut campaign in Hangzhou.
Learner Tien has lost three of his last five matches. The last match he played was at the US Open, where he lost to Djokovic in the opening round in straight sets. He is the seventh seed this week in Hangzhou.
According to the bookies, Tien is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is a far better hard-court player than Navone. We expect him to be a better player tomorrow and win easily.
That being said, Tien winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Learner Tien winning @1.57 @bet365
Mannarino – Wu: 17.09.2025 13:30 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Adrian Mannarino has won three of his last five matches. The last match he played was at the US Open, where he had a decent run. Lehecka eventually stopped him in the 1/8-Finals in four sets. This will be his debut campaign in Hangzhou.
Yibing Wu has won three of his last five matches. The last match he played was at the US Open, where he failed to qualify for the main draw. He has been granted a wild card this week in Hangzhou.
According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Wu won the only head-to-head meeting against Mannarino, but it was two years ago. However, Wu had injury problems and is far from his best level. Mannarino had a solid run at the US Open, and we expect him to be a better player tomorrow.
That being said, Mannarino winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Adrian Mannarino winning @1.80 @bet365
