Here are our top best picks of the day, with a brief analysis on which player will rise to the occasion. Top Tennis Picks and Best Bets Tommy Paul vs.
Alex De Minaur (Paul +110) At the Hamburg Open, Tommy Paul will face Alex de Minaur in their seventh meeting, with Minaur leading their head-to-head 5-1. Paul advanced to the semifinals after beating Daniel Altmaier 6-2, 7-5, while De Minaur beat Luciano Darderi 6-0, 6-3. Both players have beaten each other on clay once previously.
While Paul has achieved a title on clay in Houston this year, De Minaur is yet to bag a trophy on the red surface. Both are known for their counter-attacking skills, and while De Minaur capitalizes on his exceptional footwork, Paul has a potent loose forehand that lets him swing the wall way behind the opponent’s baseline.

Learner Tien vs. Alexander Bublik (Bublik -155) Scheduled in Geneva is the second clash between Learner Tien and Alexander Bublik after Tien beat the Kazakh star on clay in their first meeting. Tien defeated Alex Michelsen in the quarterfinals 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, and Bublik beat Arthur Rinderknech 7-5, 6-4, 6-2 to reach the final four this week.
