It's an action packed schedule tonight across both the ATP Metz and Athens events; and with some players still competing for potential world-tour finals spots there's all still to play for in this late stage of the 2025 season. We've got your bets covered, so take a look at our top-tips from todays action:



COMBINED MULTI/ACCUMULATOR @ 6.31

  • Sebastian Korda 2-0 Set Betting @ 1.90

  • Lorenzo Sonego to WIN @ 2.00

  • Tomas Etcheverry to WIN @ 1.66



SEBASTIAN KORDA 2-0 SET BETTING vs DAMIR DZUMHUR (@1.90 - ATP Athens)


ree

American Sebastian Korda has had a tumultuous time with injuries across the past 12-18 months, but he's demonstrating just enough quality in recent weeks now to justify picking him in a match like this. Korda is 3 wins from his past 4 matches, including an impressive three-set victory over ex-masters winner Popyrin in 3 sets in the opening round of this event.


Dzumhur is coming off an impressive first-round victory against Jacob Fearnley - but today he will have a matchup disadvantage. Korda plays a first-strike brand of tennis, looking to utilise his potent first serve to give himself second-shot forehands to end points early. This gamestyle is especially effective on the indoor-hard courts of Athens. Dzumhur lacks quality behind his own serve, and is often vulnerable to being broken; something he simply won't be able to get away with here.


The smart money in this one is to avoid the spread, and bet on Korda in straight-sets instead.


LORENZO SONEGO to beat FLAVIO COBOLLI (@ 2.00 - ATP Metz)


ree

It's very tough to get excited about watching Sonego given the lacklustre performances he's been showing for nearly 3 years on tour now, but tonight is one opportunity to get behind the Italian as he faces off against his younger compatriot in Cobolli.


Sonego has showcased some great tennis in the past week, having beaten both Musetti and Korda last week (before narrowly losing to Medvedev) in Paris, and he has already won his opening fixture in Metz. Cobolli by contrast, has struggled on the faster surfaces more generally - and indoor-hard courts are definitely his weakest surface.


Expect the potency of Sonego's first-serve and his willingness to move into the forecourt with frequency to cause Cobolli real issues. Being on the back-foot is not a place you want to be when playing indoor tennis, and that's exactly where Cobolli will be playing today.


Back the underdog here.


TOMAS ETCHEVERRY to beat MACKENZIE MACDONALD (@ 1.66 - ATP Athens)


ree

Last up in our selections today is Tomas Etcheverry - another player who has been distinctly up-and-down this season. He matches up today against Mackenzie Macdonald; who's ranking has plummeted due to poor form and now finds himself outside of the worlds top 100.


Etcheverry is a very versatile player; with the ability to move efficiently on all surfaces and his heavy forehand is capable of damaging opposition on any surface. Macdonald by contrast is a counter-puncher and typically relies on much faster surfaces and flatter hitting opposition to produce his best tennis.


Given the heavy topspin that Etcheverry produces on his forehand, expect MacDonald to struggle to counter-strike efficiently, and this will force him to overpress to avoid being on the back-foot.


This should be relatively comfortable for the favourite - providing he can produce the level of years gone by.
