ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells 1/64-Finals

Halys – Carreno-Busta: 07.03.2025 02:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Quentin Halys has won four of his last five matches. His last match was in Dubai, where he lost in the semifinals against Auger-Aliassime in three tight sets. It is his third appearance in Indian Wells. He has never made it past the opening round.

Pablo Carreno-Busta has won twelve straight matches. The Spaniard has won consecutive ATP Challenger Tour titles in Spain. This week in Indian Wells, Pablo successfully qualified for the main draw tournament. He has never made it past the semifinals.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, we agree that Pablo is the favorite in this matchup. He is in great form and looks unstoppable. Halys had a solid run last week in Dubai, but other than that, he underperformed this season. We expect Pablo’s experience to prevail tonight.

That being said, Carreno-Busta winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Pablo Carreno-Busta winning @1.62 @bet365

Tu – Lajovic: 07.03.2025 02:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Li Tu has won three of his last five matches. This week in Indian Wells, Tu qualified for the main draw tournament, winning both matches in straight sets. It is his debut campaign in Indian Wells.

Dusan Lajovic has lost three of his last five matches. His last match was in Acapulco, where he failed to qualify for the main draw tournament. It is his eleventh appearance in Indian Wells. Last season, Dusan lost in the second round against Tiafoe in straight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Dusan has been playing in Indian Wells for the last decade. His experience at the highest level will give him an edge against inexperienced Tu.

That being said, Lajovic winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Dusan Lajovic winning @1.80 @bet365

Van de Zandschulp – Kyrgios: 07.03.2025 03:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Botic Van de Zandschulp has lost three of his last five matches. This week in Indian Wells, Botic failed to qualify for the main draw tournament. However, with several players withdrawing from the tournament, he entered as a lucky loser.  He has never made it past the third round in Indian Wells.

Nick Kyrgios has lost eight straight matches, his last win coming in 2022. So far this season, he has played in two tournaments and lost in the opening round. In his previous appearance at Indian Wells, Kyrgios reached the quarterfinals, which was also his most significant result.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Botic is the favorite in this matchup, and we agree. Kyrgios is trying to return to his best form but needs time. Van de Zandschulp is a solid hard-court player, and we believe he will win easily tonight.

That being said, Botic winning in straight sets is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Botic Van de Zandschulp winning 2-0 @2.10 @bet365
