De Minaur – Wawrinka: 12.02.2026 14:30 CEST
H2H: 1-0
Alex de Minaur has won four of his last five matches. This week in Rotterdam, de Minaur defeated Fils in the opening round in straight sets. De Minaur finished as a runner-up in Rotterdam in the past two editions. Last season, the Australian lost to Alcaraz in the final in three tight sets.
Stanislas Wawrinka has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Montpellier, Wawrinka lost to Auger-Aliassime in the second round in straight sets. This week in Rotterdam, Wawrinka defeated Boogaard in straight sets in the opening round. Last season in Rotterdam, Wawrinka lost to Medvedev in the opening round in three sets.
According to the bookies, Wawrinka is the heavy underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. Wawrinka has played well since the beginning of the season. If he serves well, we expect him to keep this match tight.
That being said, Wawrinka covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Stanislas Wawrinka +4.5 games handicap @1.91 @bet365

H2H: 0-2
Hamad Medjedovic has lost three of his last five matches. This week in Rotterdam, Medjedovic failed to qualify for the main draw of the tournament.

Last season in Rotterdam, the Canadian retired in the opening round against Vavassori.
According to the bookies, Auger-Aliassime is the clear favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is in the form of his life and leads 2-0 in head-to-head meetings against Medjedovic. We expect him to dominate on his serve and get the win.
That being said, Auger-Aliassime winning in straight sets is a value bet.
