ATP 250 Marrakech 1/8-Finals Previews
Vit Kopriva vs Alexandre Muller
Match Date: 02.04.2026 12:00 CEST
Head-to-Head: First meeting
Vit Kopriva’s recent form shows three losses in his last five matches. Last week in Naples, he was defeated by Forti in straight sets in the opening round. In Marrakech this week, Kopriva secured a hard-fought three-set victory over Medjedovic, recovering after dropping the first set 6-7.
Alexandre Muller also holds a 3-2 record in his last five outings. He reached the quarterfinals in Naples last week before falling to Medjedovic in straight sets. Muller, a finalist at this event in 2023, comfortably advanced in the opening round this year with a straight-sets win over Cina.
Our Best Bet
While oddsmakers view this as an evenly matched contest, we believe there’s a clear favorite. Kopriva endured a grueling three-set battle lasting nearly three hours in his previous match. In contrast, Muller demonstrated dominance in his opening round and historically thrives on the clay courts of Marrakech. Therefore, backing Muller for the win presents a strong value bet.
Rafael Jodar vs Tomas Machac
Match Date: 02.04.2026 13:30 CEST
Head-to-Head: First meeting
Rafael Jodar enters this match with impressive form, having won four of his last five matches. This marks his debut appearance in Marrakech, where he impressively defeated Lajovic in straight sets in the opening round. Jodar showcased strong serving, facing and saving only two breakpoints throughout the match.
Tomas Machac, conversely, has struggled recently, losing four of his last five encounters. His most recent outing was in Miami, where he was defeated by Moutet in three sets in the second round.
Our Best Bet
Despite oddsmakers positioning Machac as the slight favorite, we hold a differing view. Jodar’s excellent current form and effective serving, combined with his status as one of Spain’s most promising young talents, suggest he will be the stronger contender in this fixture. Consequently, a bet on Jodar to win offers good value.
Ignacio Buse vs Camilo Ugo Carabelli
Match Date: 02.04.2026 15:00 CEST
Head-to-Head: 0-1
Ignacio Buse has won three of his last five matches and is aiming for a strong performance this week to climb closer to the top 50 in the rankings. He achieved a significant upset in the opening round, defeating Berrettini in a grueling three-set match that lasted over three hours.
Camilo Ugo Carabelli also boasts a 3-2 record in his recent matches. His most notable successes last season came on clay courts. In Marrakech this week, the Argentine advanced by defeating Skatov in three sets, recovering from losing the first set 6-7.
Our Best Bet
While bookmakers predict a nearly even contest, we lean towards Buse. His excellent form and recent upset victory over Berrettini, coupled with two full days of rest, suggest he will be thoroughly prepared and competitive for this encounter. Therefore, wagering on Buse to secure the win presents a favorable value proposition.
