ATP 500 Washington 1/8-Finals

Evans – Moutet: 24.07.2025 Time TBA
H2H: 0-2

Daniel Evans has won three of his last five matches. This week in Washington, the Brit won the opening match against Bergs in three tight sets, after losing the opening set 3-6. In the second round, Evans upset Michelsen in straight sets.

Corentin Moutet has won three of his last five matches. This week in Washington, the Frenchman demolished Muller in the opening round 6-0, 6-1 within an hour.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Moutet is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He dominated in the opening match against Muller. He leads 2-0 in head-to-head meetings against Evans. On the other hand, Evans struggled with his form for the past few months. We expect Moutet to be a better player tomorrow and win easily.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Corentin Moutet -2.5 games handicap @1.73 @bet365

Nakashima – Norrie: 24.07.2025 Time TBA
H2H: 1-3

Brandon Nakashima has won three of his last five matches. This week in Washington, Nakashima defeated Quinn in straight sets in the opening round. He was great under pressure, saving all three breakpoints.

Cameron Norrie has won four of his last five matches. This week, Norrie won the opening round against Harris in straight sets. He trailed 3-5 in the second set, but turned it around. Yesterday in the second round, Musetti won the opening set 6-3. However, Norrie kept his composure and turned the match around.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Norrie has more weapons for this matchup. He won the past three head-to-head meetings against Nakashima in straight sets. We expect a similar outcome tomorrow as well.

That being said, Norrie winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Cameron Norrie winning @2.00 @bet365

Shelton – Diallo: 24.07.2025 Time TBA
H2H: 0-1

Ben Shelton has won four of his last five matches. This week in Washington, Shelton defeated McDonald in straight sets. He served great, not offering any breakpoints. Last season in Washington, the American had a decent run reaching the semifinals. He eventually lost to Cobolli in three tight sets.

Gabriel Diallo has won three of his last five matches. This week in Washington, Diallo won the opening round against Marozsan in straight sets easily. He offered and saved only one breakpoint. This is his debut campaign in Washington. The Canadian enjoys having his best season, securing his top-40 spot.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Shelton is the slight favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. Diallo is in great form and dominated in the opening round. He is coming into this matchup with complete confidence. We expect him to serve well and keep this match tight.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Gabriel Diallo +2.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365
