Tirante – Cobolli: 20.03.2025 16:00 CEST
H2H: 0-2
Thiago Agustin Tirante has won seven straight matches. His last tournament was in Cordoba on clay, where he won the Challenger title. This week in Miami, Tirante dominated in the qualifying tournament, winning both qualifying matches in straight sets.
Flavio Cobolli has lost four of his last five matches. Last week in Phoenix, Cobolli lost in the quarterfinals against Nishikori in three tight sets. Last season, Cobolli lost against Norrie in the second round in three tight sets. This will be his second appearance in Miami.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Cobolli is the slight favorite in this matchup, and we agree. He is in bad form, but he played some solid matches under similar conditions for the last few weeks. On the other hand, Tirante spent the last couple of weeks on clay. We expect Cobolli to be a better player in this matchup.
That being said, Cobolli winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Flavio Cobolli winning @1.62 @bet365

Chak Wong has lost four of his last five matches. Last week in Cap Cana, He lost in straight sets in the second round of the Challenger tournament against Kovacevic. He has been granted a wild card this week in Miami.
Daniel Altmaier has lost three of his last five matches. He lost in three tight sets to Kovacevic in the quarterfinals of the Challenger tournament in Cap Cana. This will be his fifth appearance in Miami. Last season, Altmaier lost against Struff in the second round.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Altmaier is the favorite in this matchup, and we agree. Wong is a Challenger Tour-level player who never succeeded at the highest level. On the other hand, Altmaier is a prominent top-100 player who spent most of his career playing at the highest level. His experience will be crucial in this matchup.
That being said, Altmaier covering the games handicap is a value bet.

1/32-Finals
