ATP 250 Stockholm quarterfinals

Korda – Ruud: 17.10.2025 18:30 CEST
H2H: 1-1

Sebastian Korda has won three of his last five matches. Two weeks ago in Shanghai, Korda lost to Bergs in the opening round in straight sets. This week in Stockholm, Korda defeated Popyrin in the opening round in three tight sets. After losing the opening set 6-7, the American turned the match around easily. In the second round, he won against Majchrzak in three tight sets.

Casper Ruud has won three of his last five matches. Two weeks ago in Shanghai, Ruud retired mid-match against Bergs in the second round. This week in Stockholm, the Norwegian defeated Cilic in the opening round in straight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, this will be an almost 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Ruud is in better form than Korda and had a solid performance in the opening round against Cilic. On the other hand, Korda had two three-setters this week in Stockholm. We expect Ruud to be a better player tomorrow.

That being said, Ruud winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Casper Ruud winning @1.67 @bet365

Humbert – Sonego: 17.10.2025 12:00 CEST
H2H: 5-3

Ugo Humbert has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Shanghai, Humbert lost to Rune in the third round in straight sets. This week in Stockholm, the Frenchman defeated Berrettini in the opening match in straight sets. He offered no breakpoints.

Lorenzo Sonego has lost three of his last five matches. This week in Stockholm, Sonego defeated Fery in the opening round in straight sets. In the second round, the Italian defeated Kovacevic in straight sets as well.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Humbert is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Humbert won all three head-to-head meetings against Sonego on hard courts. He is one of the best indoor hard court players, and we expect him to win easily.

That being said, Humbert winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Ugo Humbert winning @1.67 @bet365

Rune – Etcheverry: 17.10.2025 14:30 CEST
H2H: 2-1

Holger Rune has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Shanghai, Rune lost to Vacherot in the quarterfinals in three tight sets. This week in Stockholm, the Dane defeated Fucsovics in the opening match in straight sets.

Tomas Martin Etcheverry has won four of his last five matches. This week in Stockholm, the Argentine defeated Lajal in three tight sets after a three-hour match. He trailed 0-3 in the deciding third set, but went on to win six straight games to win the match. The Argentine won against Kecmanovic in three tight sets. He saved both breakpoints he offered in the deciding set.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Rune is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is in solid form and enjoys playing on fast, hard courts. Etcheverry struggled in both matches this week. We expect Rune to dominate and win.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Holger Rune -3.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365
