ATP Roundup: Scores, Recaps, and Betting Takeaways
This slate had that classic early-round feel where the scoreline doesn’t always show you how close things were. Felix Auger-Aliassime handled business in Dubai, but it got tense late when match points started disappearing. In Santiago, Yannick Hanfmann blitzed his way through the opener, while Francisco Comesana needed a long grind and one saved match point to get out alive.

If you’re playing the next round, start with the board and work backward.

You’ll also see where the market is reacting to tight finishes without needing to chase narratives.
ATP Picks of the Day
Early rounds can be tricky because you’ll get clean scorelines that hide real volatility and messy scorelines that still had clear edges. That’s why I’d rather lean on matchup reads and how players handled pressure spots. For the next set of matches, grab today’s free tennis picks and compare angles before you lock anything in.
Top Takeaways
- Auger-Aliassime won in straight sets, but Zhang forcing extra pressure late matters. Five saved match points is a reminder that closing can get weird fast.
- Saving all four break points faced is a clean indicator of steadiness on serve from Auger-Aliassime, even with the late wobble in conversion.
- Mpetshi Perricard’s 29 aces in a long three-set match screams serve-driven volatility. That profile can swing sets quickly, especially in tiebreak-heavy matches.
- Hanfmann jumping out to seven straight games is the kind of start that can decide a match before the live market fully settles.
- Comesana surviving a match point in a nearly three-hour match is a stamina and composure note, but it also shows how thin the margin was.
ATP Game Recaps
Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Zhizhen Zhang Recap: Auger-Aliassime wins 6-3, 7-6 (4)
Auger-Aliassime opened his Dubai campaign with a 6-3, 7-6 (4) win over Zhang. He saved all four break points he faced, which is usually the backbone of a straight-sets result.
The tension came late. Zhang saved five match points, two in the 10th game of the second set and three more in the 12th to force a tiebreak. Auger-Aliassime still closed it in the breaker, but for bettors, that’s a real note about how a match can stretch even when one player is holding firm.
Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard vs Moez Echargui Recap: Mpetshi Perricard wins 7-6 (3), 6-7 (3), 7-6 (4)
Mpetshi Perricard edged Echargui 7-6 (3), 6-7 (3), 7-6 (4) to set up a meeting with Auger-Aliassime. He hit 29 aces in a two-hour, 36-minute match, and the scoreline tells you exactly what kind of day it was.
Three tiebreak sets is basically a full advertisement for serve control and coin-flip pressure points. There wasn’t a lot of separation, and that’s the betting angle. When it’s that tight, single mini-runs and one bad service game can decide the whole thing.
Jack Draper vs Quentin Halys Recap: Draper wins 7-6 (8), 6-3
Draper moved on with a 7-6 (8), 6-3 win over Halys. He had to survive a tight first-set tiebreak, then created enough separation in the second to finish clean.
That first set matters for how the match played. A long tiebreak can swing confidence either way, and Draper turning that into a more controlled second set is the practical betting read here. He didn’t let the match hang around.
Stan Wawrinka vs Benjamin Hassan Recap: Wawrinka wins 7-5, 6-3
Wawrinka took care of Hassan 7-5, 6-3 in an all-wild-card matchup. The first set was close on the scoreboard, but Wawrinka still got through it without needing a third.
The key for bettors is the gradual separation. A 7-5 first set can go either way, but once Wawrinka won it, the second set score suggests he carried the edge forward instead of resetting into another coin flip.

Yannick Hanfmann vs Dusan Lajovic Recap: Hanfmann wins 6-0, 6-3
Hanfmann came out flying in Santiago, winning the first seven games and beating Lajovic 6-0, 6-3. He posted a 22-9 edge in winners and got it done in 74 minutes.
That opening burst is the story. When someone grabs seven straight games, it often kills both the match and the opponent’s ability to settle in. Even with 24 unforced errors, Hanfmann had enough controlled aggression to keep the match one-way.
Francisco Comesana vs Pedro Martinez Recap: Comesana wins 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (4)
Comesana needed two hours and 51 minutes to escape Martinez 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (4). He also saved one match point in the third set to stay alive, which tells you how close this was to flipping.
The middle of the match turned when Martinez took the second set, and from there it became a grind where one swing point could decide the whole thing. Comesana surviving that match point, then winning the tiebreak, is the difference between a “tough loss” and a quarter-hour later you’re talking about a second-round matchup.
Andrea Pellegrino vs Alex Barrena Recap: Pellegrino wins 6-2, 2-6, 6-1
Pellegrino advanced in Santiago with a 6-2, 2-6, 6-1 win over Barrena. The scoreline reads like a match that changed shape twice, and the third set was decisive.
For bettors, the third-set 6-1 matters most because it shows who actually stabilized after the dip. Even with the second set going the other way, Pellegrino found a clean finish and didn’t let the match drift into another tight closing stretch.
ATP Picks and Handicappers
If you’re betting tennis daily, the biggest advantage is being able to compare multiple opinions without guessing who’s actually dialed in. Sportshub makes that easy with its roster of sports handicappers, plus a simple way to track performance on the picks leaderboard. I like having that in one place because tennis slates move fast, and you don’t want to be stuck tailing blindly.
There’s also value in having different entry points depending on how you bet. The free service plays hub is useful when you want quick volume, while the Bettor’s Handbook helps tighten your approach across tournaments and conditions. If you’re more reactive during matches, the live betting guide is built for those momentum swings that show up in tiebreak-heavy slates like this.
For bettors who want more content in one feed, the Sportshub blog is where these roundups live. And if you’re looking to upgrade your daily process, the pricing packages give you options based on how aggressive you want to be with pick volume.
