ATP Montpellier Best Bets Including Wawrinka vs Medjedovic

ATP 250 Montpellier 1/8-Finals

Gea – Machac: 04.02.2026 20:00 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. In the opening round, Mpetshi Perricard retired after losing the opening set against Gea.

Tomas Machac has won four of his last five matches. The last match he played was at the Australian Open, where he lost to Musetti in the third round in five tight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Gea is the heavy underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. Gea defeated Lehecka at the Australian Open in straight sets, who has a similar playing style to Machac. He has a heavy serve, so we expect him to keep this match close.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Arthur Gea +3.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365

Medjedovic – Wawrinka: 04.02.2026 16:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Hamad Medjedovic has won three of his last five matches. The last match he played was at the Australian Open, where he lost to de Minaur in four sets in the second round.  Around this time last season, the Serb played in Marseille, where he finished as a runner-up, losing to Humbert in straight sets.

Stanislas Wawrinka has lost three of his last five matches. The last match he played was at the Australian Open, where he lost to Fritz in the third round in four tight sets. Stan has been granted a wild card for this week’s tournament in Montpellier.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Medjedovic is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He enjoys playing on indoor hard courts. He played well in Melbourne, and we expect him to be a better player in the opening round against Wawrinka.

That being said, Medjedovic winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Hamad Medjedovic winning @1.57 @bet365

Kouame – Kovacevic: 04.02.2026 14:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Moise Kouame has won twelve straight matches. The young Frenchman has won two consecutive ITF titles. This week in Montpellier, the 16-year-old qualified for the main draw tournament by winning both matches in three tight sets. In the final qualifying round, Kouane defeated Chidekh in three tight sets after playing for three hours.

Aleksandar Kovacevic has lost four of his last five matches. Last week in Quimper, Kovacevic lost to Droguet in the second round of the Challenger tournament. Kovacevic finished as a runner-up last season in Montpellier. He lost to Auger-Aliassime in three tight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Kouame is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He is playing his best tennis and has nothing to lose. If he plays freely, we expect him to be dangerous and keep this match tight.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Moise Kouame +3.5 games handicap @1.73 @bet365
