ATP Hertogenbosch Best Bets Including McDonald vs Khachanov

ATP 250 Hertogenbosch 1/16-Finals

Hijikata – Evans: 11.06.2025 13:30 CEST
H2H: 0-1

Rinky Hijikata has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Birmingham, Hijikata reached the semifinals of the Challenger tournament, eventually losing against Smith in straight sets. Last season in Hertogenbosch, Hijikata lost in the opening round against Popyrin in straight sets.

Daniel Evans has won three of his last five matches. Evans qualified for the main draw tournament this week in Hertogenbosch by winning both qualifying matches in three tight sets. In the final qualifying round, the Brit defeated Rottgering in three sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Hijikata is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Evans has struggled with his form for the last couple of seasons. He is in terrible form and outside the top 200 in the rankings. On the other hand, Hijikata played well last week in Birmingham, and we expect him to be a better player tomorrow.

That being said, Hijikata winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Rinky Hijikata winning @1.50 @bet365

1/8-Finals

McDonald – Khachanov: 11.06.2025 14:00 CEST
H2H: 0-4

Mackenzie McDonald has won three of his last five matches. This week in Hertogenbosch, the American won both qualifying matches in straight sets. In the opening main draw tournament, McDonald outlasted Bellucci in three sets.

Karen Khachanov has won three of his last five matches. His last match was in Paris, where he lost against Paul in the third round in five tight sets. His last grass court match was last season at Wimbledon when Halys upset him in the second round. Last season in Hertogenbosch, Khachanov lost against Vukic in his opening match in three tight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, McDonald is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. Khachanov has not had any remarkable results on grass courts since 2021. On the other hand, McDonald dominated this week so far in Hertogenbosch. We expect a tight match that could go either way.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Mackenzie McDonald +2.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365

Djere – Lajal: 11.06.2025 16:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Laslo Djere has lost three of his last five matches. His last match was at the French Open, where he lost in straight sets against de Minaur in the opening round. His last grass-court match was last season at Wimbledon, where he lost against Pouille in the opening round.

Mark Lajal has won three of his last five matches. This week in Hertogenbosch, Lajal won both qualifying matches in straight sets. In the final qualifying round, Lajal upset Opelka in straight sets. He served well, not offering any breakpoints.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Lajal is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Djere has never succeeded on grass courts and has not played any competitive matches on grass this season. On the other hand, Lajal dominated in Hertogenbosch this week, and we expect him to be a better player tomorrow.

That being said, Lajal winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Mark Lajal winning @1.62 @bet365
