Davis Cup Men’s Matchup: Germany vs. Chile – Best Bets

Potential Matchup 1: Yannick Hanfmann vs. Alejandro Tabilo

Yannick Hanfmann and Alejandro Tabilo are the top-ranked players for Germany and Chile, respectively. This match will take place indoors on hard courts. Hanfmann, who failed to qualify for this year’s US Open, secured a victory against Kovalik in three closely contested sets yesterday against Slovakia. On the other hand, Tabilo was eliminated in the first round of the US Open in straight sets. Although he performed well during the clay and grass court seasons, Tabilo has struggled in the latter half of the season, recently losing to Nakashima in three tight sets against the USA.

Despite this, we believe Tabilo is currently the stronger player compared to Hanfmann. After a solid performance against Nakashima, Tabilo is likely to secure a comfortable victory over Hanfmann, giving Chile their first win.

Potential Matchup 2: Maximilian Marterer vs. Nicolas Jarry

Maximilian Marterer and Nicolas Jarry rank as the second-best players for their respective teams. Marterer lost in the first round of the US Open to Zverev in four sets but won against Klein in straight sets yesterday against Slovakia. Meanwhile, Jarry has been struggling with form, having lost seven consecutive matches since his last win in Rome in May, where he finished as a runner-up against Zverev. His most recent defeat was against O’Connell in four tight sets at the US Open.

Despite his struggles, we believe Jarry has the potential to perform well against Marterer tomorrow. As a more accomplished hard-court player, he is expected to step up for Chile and secure a win in this match.

Potential Matchup 3: Krawietz/Puetz vs. Barrios Vera/Tabilo

The doubles match will likely feature Krawietz and Puetz representing Germany against Chile’s Barrios Vera and Tabilo. Krawietz and Puetz have a long history of playing together, reaching the US Open final last week, where they were defeated by Purcell and Thompson in straight sets. They won their doubles match in straight sets yesterday against Slovakia. Similarly, Barrios Vera and Tabilo have played numerous matches as a duo, winning a title in Santiago earlier this year on clay. However, they typically underperform on indoor courts.

The German duo is expected to perform better in these conditions. While Tabilo and Barrios Vera would have had a stronger chance on clay, the fast indoor setting is more favorable for Krawietz and Puetz.

Best Bet Recommendation

Without Zverev, Germany faces a challenging Davis Cup this year. Chile has the advantage in singles players, leading us to believe they will prevail in this matchup. Therefore, a value bet on Chile winning 2-1 looks promising.
