ATP Montpellier Best Bets Including Hurkacz vs Damm

ATP 250 Montpellier 1/16-Finals

Hurkacz – Damm: 03.02.2026 14:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Hubert Hurkacz has won three of his last five matches. The last match he played was at the Australian Open, where he lost to Quinn in the second round in straight sets. He has never made it past the second round here.

Martin Damm has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Oerias, Damm lost to Gaubas in the opening round of the Challenger tournament. This week in Montpellier, Damm qualified for the main draw tournament. In the final qualifying round, the American defeated Tabur in three tiebreaks after spending almost three hours on the court.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Damm is the heavy underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He served 36 aces in the final qualifying round against Tabur and saved both breakpoints. If he serves well, we expect him to keep this match tight.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Martin Damm +3.5 games handicap @1.91 @bet365

Royer – Fils: 03.02.2026 18:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Valentin Royer has lost six straight matches. His last win was in Paris last season. The last match he played was at the Australian Open, where he lost to Fritz in four sets in the opening round. Last season in Montpellier, the Frenchman lost to Droguet in the opening qualifying round.

Arthur Fils has won three of his last five matches. The last match he played was in August of last season in Toronto. Since then, Fils struggled with the injuries. This is his opening match of the season. He is the sixth seed here this week.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Fils has not played any competitive matches for the past six months. On the other hand, Royer played well against Fritz at the Australian Open. Fils will be rusty coming into this match, and we expect Royer to be a better player.

That being said, Royer winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Valentin Royer winning @2.00 @bet365

Vavassori – Blanchet: 03.02.2026 20:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Andrea Vavassori has won four of his last five matches. This week in Montpellier, he qualified for the main draw tournament by winning both matches in straight sets. In the final qualifying round, the Italian defeated Grenier in straight sets. He offered and saved only one breakpoint.

Ugo Blanchet has won three of his last five matches. This week in Montpellier, Blanchet lost to Droguet in the final qualifying round, three tight sets to two. However, with several players withdrawing from the tournament, the Frenchman entered the main draw as a lucky loser.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, this will be an almost 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Vavassori dominated in the qualifying tournament. On the other hand, Blanchet lost in the final qualifying round. We expect Vavassori to dominate on his serve.

That being said, Vavassori winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Andrea Vavassori winning @1.73 @bet365
