ATP Queen’s Club Best Bets Including Rune vs McDonald

ATP 500 Queen’s Club 1/8-Finals

Bautista-Agut – Mensik: 18.06.2025 Time TBA
H2H: 0-1

Roberto Bautista-Agut has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Hertogenbosch, the Spaniard lost against Hurkacz in straight sets in the opening round. His last appearance in London was in 2016 when he lost in straight sets against Raonic in the quarterfinals. This week in London, the Spaniard defeated Borges in three tight sets after losing the opening set 6-7.

Jakub Mensik has lost three of his last five matches.  This is his debut campaign in London. In the opening round of the Queen’s Club, Mensik won against Norrie in three sets. After losing the second set 1-6, Mensik stepped up and dominated in the deciding set.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Mensik is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is young and a better player than Bautista-Agut. After adjusting to the surface, Mensik played his best tennis and defeated Norrie easily in the opening round. We expect a similar outcome tomorrow.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Jakub Mensik -2.5 games handicap @1.73 @bet365

Evans – Nakashima: 18.06.2025 Time TBA
H2H: 1-3

Daniel Evans has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Hertogenbosch, Evans lost against Humbert in the 1/8-Finals. Last season in London, the Brit lost in the opening round against Nakashima. This week, Evans defeated Tiafoe in the opening round in straight sets.

Brandon Nakashima has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Stuttgart, Zverev defeated him in the quarterfinals in tight straight sets. Last season in London, Nakashima lost against Musetti in the 1/8-Finals. This week, the American defeated Mpetshi Perricard in the opening round in three sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Nakashima is the favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. Evans enjoys playing on grass courts and dominated in the opening round against Tiafoe. We expect a tight match that could go either way.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Daniel Evans +2.5 games handicap @2.10 @bet365

Rune – McDonald: 18.06.2025 Time TBA
H2H: 1-1

Holger Rune has won three of his last five matches. His last match before the ATP Queen’s Club was at the French Open, where he lost against Musetti in the 1/8-Finals. This week in London, Rune defeated O’Connell in straight sets.

Mackenzie McDonald has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Hertogenbosch, the American lost against Khachanov in the second round. This week in London, he qualified for the main draw tournament, winning both matches in straight sets. He easily defeated Monfils in straight sets in the opening main draw round.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, McDonald is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He is a solid grass-court player with the weapons to keep this match tight tomorrow.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Mackenzie McDonald +3.5 games handicap @1.73 @bet365
