The ATP 500 tournament in Washington is heating up as the quarter-finals approach with some intriguing matchups scheduled for July 24, 2025.
In the first quarter-final, Daniel Evans faces Corentin Moutet. Evans, who has claimed victory in three of his last five matches, started strong in Washington by overcoming Bergs in a three-set battle after losing the first set. He continued his momentum by defeating Michelsen in the second round in straight sets. Moutet, on the other hand, has also won three of his last five matches and showcased his dominance by easily defeating Muller 6-0, 6-1 in the first round. Historically, Moutet leads their head-to-head encounters 2-0, making him the bookmakers’ favorite in this matchup. Based on his recent form, a bet on Moutet to cover the -2.5 games handicap seems wise.
Another exciting matchup will feature Brandon Nakashima against Cameron Norrie. Nakashima has also won three of his last five matches, showcasing his resilience this week by defeating Quinn in straight sets while saving all breakpoints he faced. Norrie, who has claimed four of his last five matches, displayed tenacity in his opening round, turning around a near deficit against Harris, and later besting Musetti after initial struggles in the second round. Norrie’s head-to-head record against Nakashima stands at 3-1, and many experts believe he has the edge, making a bet on him to win a valuable option.
The last quarter-final will see Ben Shelton take on Gabriel Diallo. Shelton has been in impressive form, winning four of his last five matches, including a straight-set victory against McDonald this week. He previously reached the semifinals in Washington last year. Diallo, competing in Washington for the first time, has secured his spot in the top-40 with three wins in his last five matches, including a straight-set win against Marozsan. This matchup appears closely contested with Shelton favored to win; however, Diallo’s confidence and recent success suggest he could keep the match tight, making a bet on him to cover the +2.5 games handicap appealing.
With the matches set to bring intense competition, fans can look forward to thrilling tennis action as the quest for the Washington title continues.
