ATP 250 Winston-Salem 1/16-Finals

Mpetshi Perricard – Martinez: 19.08.2025 20:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard has lost four of his last five matches. Last week in Cincinnati, the Frenchman was upset by Wong in the opening round, losing in straight sets. He has struggled with his form for the past few months.

Pedro Martinez has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Cincinnati, the Spaniard lost to Paul in the second round in straight sets. This week in Winston-Salem, Martinez defeated Goffin in the opening round in straight sets. He was great under pressure, saving eight out of ten breakpoints.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Mpetshi Perricard is the favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. He is in terrible form. On the other hand, Martinez played well against Goffin in the opening round. We expect a close match that could go either way.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Pedro Martinez +2.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365

Kecmanovic – Kovacevic: 19.08.2025 21:30 CEST
H2H: 1-1

Miomir Kecmanovic has lost four of his last five matches. His last match was in Cincinnati, where he lost to Quinn in the opening match in straight sets.

Aleksandar Kovacevic has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Cincinnati, Kovacevic lost to Medjedovic in the opening round in straight sets. So far this season, he has had his best results on hard courts. Just a month ago, the American lost to Shapovalov in the final of the ATP 250 in Los Cabos. This week in Winston-Salem, Kovacevic defeated Misolic in straight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Kecmanovic is the slight favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. Kovacevic dominated in the opening match. On the other hand, the Serb struggled with his form for the past few weeks. We expect Kovacevic to be a better player tonight and win with the help of the home crowd.

That being said, Kovacevic winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Aleksandar Kovacevic winning @2.20 @bet365

Diallo – Basavareddy: 19.08.2025 21:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Gabriel Diallo has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Cincinnati, Diallo lost to Sinner in the third round in straight sets.

Nishesh Basavareddy has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Cincinnati, the American lost to Zverev in the second round in straight sets. This week in Winston-Salem, Basavareddy qualified for the main draw tournament by winning both qualifying matches in straight sets. In the opening main draw round, he defeated Collignon in straight sets. He offered and saved only one breakpoint.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Diallo is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is out there competing with the best players in the world and not only playing, but winning those matches as well. He is, overall, a better player than Basavareddy, so we expect him to get the job done tonight.

That being said, Diallo winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Gabriel Diallo winning @1.62 @bet365
