ATP Montpellier Best Bets Including Bautista-Agut vs O’Connell

ATP 250 Montpellier 1/16-Finals

Martinez – Mannarino: 02.02.2026 16:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Pedro Martinez has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Quimper, Martinez played at the Challenger tournament, losing to Gueymard Wayenburg in the 1/8-Finals in straight sets. He has never made it past the second round here.

Adrian Mannarino has lost eleven straight matches. The Frenchman is in terrible form, and if he does not start winning, he may drop outside the top 100 in the rankings. Last week in Quimper, Bertola upset him in the opening round in straight sets. Last season in Montpellier, Mannarino lost to Gasquet in the opening round in straight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Martinez is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. Mannarino struggled in Montpellier last season. He is in terrible form, and we expect Martinez to be a slightly better player today.

That being said, Martinez winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Pedro Martinez winning @2.30 @bet365

Gea – Mpetshi Perricard: 02.02.2026 18:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Arthur Gea has won four of his last five matches. The young Frenchman played his best tennis at the Australian Open, where he reached the second main draw round as a qualifier. He has been granted a wild card for this week’s tournament in Montpellier.

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard has lost three of his last five matches. The last match he played was at the Australian Open, where he lost to Baez in the opening round in five tight sets. Mpetshi Perricard hopes for a solid result this week to get closer to the top 50 in the rankings.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Gea is the slight underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He comes into this matchup fully confident and will give his best to make something out of the wild card. He is in great form, having already won a Challenger title this season and dominating the qualifying tournament at the Australian Open. We expect Gea to be a better player.

That being said, Gea winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Arthur Gea winning @2.20 @bet365

Bautista-Agut – O’Connell: 02.02.2026 20:00 CEST
H2H: 1-1

Roberto Bautista-Agut has lost four straight matches. The last match he played was at the Australian Open, where he lost to Shang in the opening round in four sets.

Christopher O’Connell has lost four straight matches. His last win was around a month ago in Brisbane. Last week in Manama, the Australian played in the Challenger tournament, where he lost to Jacquet in the opening round in straight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Bautista-Agut is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is a solid indoor hard-court player. On the other hand, O´Connell was demolished by Jacquet last week in Manama. We believe Bautista-Agut will dominate from the baseline and get a comfortable win.

That being said, Bautista-Agut winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Roberto Bautista-Agut winning @1.67 @bet365
