ATP 500 Halle 1/16-Finals
Auger-Aliassime – Djere: 17.06.2025 14:30 CEST
H2H: 0-2
Felix Auger-Aliassime has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Stuttgart, Auger-Aliassime lost against Fritz in the semifinals in straight sets. Last season in Halle, the Canadian retired from the opening-round match against Koepfer.
Laslo Djere has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Hertogenbosch, Djere lost against Lajal in the opening round in straight sets. This week in Halle, the Serb qualified for the main draw tournament, winning both matches in straight sets. In the final qualifying round, Djere won against de Jong.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Auger-Aliassime is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Djere never succeeded on fast courts. On the other hand, Auger-Aliassime enjoys playing on grass and performed well last week in Stuttgart. We expect him to dominate in this matchup tomorrow.
That being said, Auger-Aliassime winning in straight sets is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Felix Auger-Aliassime winning 2-0 @2.00 @bet365
Sinner – Hanfmann: 17.06.2025 15:30 CEST
H2H: 2-0
Jannik Sinner has won four of his last five matches. His last match was at the French Open, where he lost against Alcaraz in five tight sets after leading 2-0 and having multiple match points. His last grass-court match was at Wimbledon last season when he lost against Medvedev in the quarterfinals.
Yannick Hanfmann has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Stuttgart, Hanfmann lost in the opening round against Fucsovics in straight sets. This week in Halle, the German qualified for the main draw tournament, winning both matches in straight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Sinner is the big favourite in this matchup, and we partially agree. However, Sinner will be emotionally exhausted after losing a five-set thriller at the French Open final. On the other hand, Hanfmann has a heavy serve and has performed well in the qualifying tournament.
That being said, Hanfmann covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Yannick Hanfmann +5.5 games handicap @1.91 @bet365
Sonego – Struff: 17.06.2025 17:00 CEST
H2H: 1-1
Lorenzo Sonego has lost four straight matches. Last week in Stuttgart, Sonego lost in three tight sets against Halys in the opening round. His last win was almost over two months ago on clay in Madrid.
Jan-Lennard Struff has lost four of his last five matches. Last week in Stuttgart, Struff lost in the second round against Lehecka in straight sets. Last season in Halle, the German lost against Sinner in the quarterfinals in three tight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Struff is a better grass-court player than Sonego. He will also have a packed crowd on his side tomorrow. Sonego never succeeded on grass courts. We expect this matchup to be one-sided.
That being said, Struff winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Jan-Lennard Struff winning @1.77 @bet365
