ATP 500 Tokyo 1/8 Finals
Ruud – Berrettini: 26.09.2025 10:30 Cest
H2H: 5-3
Casper Ruud lost three of his last five games. Ruud played in the Laver Cup last week, where he won consecutive singles against Opelka. This will be his fourth appearance in Tokyo. In Tokyo this week, Ruud defeated Mochizuki in three sets. After losing the opening 4-6, he improved his level, conceding only two games in the second and third sets. Last season in Tokyo, the Norwegian lost Thompson in a row.
Matteo Berrettini has lost three of his last five games. Last week in Hangzhou, Berrettini competed in her first competitive match since Wimbledon. In the first round, the Italian was frustrated by Svrcina during the blunt game. In Tokyo this week, Berrettini won her first match against Munar in a row. He was under pressure and saved all eight breakpoints. Last season in Tokyo, Berrettini played a mid-match against FILS in the first round.
The best choice
According to the gambler, Rud was a favorite in this game, and we agree. Berttini struggled with his body and injury throughout the season. Ruud, on the other hand, dominated the Mochizuki in the second and third sets. Currently, the Norwegian is in better shape and has more motivation in this game. He also led 5-3 in the face-to-face meeting and we hope he will hold his sixth face-to-face meeting tomorrow at Beretini.
Having said that, Rude wins is a value bet.

Brooksby – Darderi: Time TBA
H2H: First meeting
Jenson Brooksby won four of his last five games. His last game at the Tokyo ATP was at the U.S. Open, where he lost to Coboli in the second round. The British have not achieved any significant results on the hard court so far this season. In Tokyo this week, Brooksby defeated Hunbert in a row. He trailed 1-4 in the opening ceremony but turned around.
Luciano Darderi has won four of his last five games. Last week in Chengdu, Draderi lost Tabilo in the opening game of a row. A week ago, the Italian won the Genoa Challenger Championship on clay. In Tokyo this week, Darderi beat Nishioka in the first round in a row. He saved a fixed point in the opening ceremony. Darderi does not provide any breakpoints in the second group. Last season in Tokyo, Darderi lost to Navone in the first round. He hopes to achieve solid results to maintain his top 30.
The best choice
According to the gambler, Brooksby is a favorite of this game, and we agree. He is a better tenacious player than Darderi and we want him to dominate the rally. Darderi never succeeded on a tough court.
Having said that, Brooksby win is a value bet.
