Ben Shelton has reached the summit clash at the BMW Open for a second consecutive year. He will face Italy’s Flavio Cobolli in Sunday’s final. Meanwhile, reigning Australian Open champion Elena Rybakina will take on Karolina Muchova in the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix final in Stuttgart.
Today, we will bring you amazing tennis picks, reliable predictions, and best bets from five summit clashes across the WTA and ATP circuits, including the BMW Open, the Stuttgart Open, the Barcelona Open, the Rouen Open, and the ATP Challenger in Busan, South Korea.
Top Tennis Picks and Best Bets From Today’s Matches
Flavio Cobolli vs. Ben Shelton: Cobolli Match Winner (+110)
Cobolli and Shelton will be facing each other for the sixth time on tour. Three of their meetings came in 2025, all on hard surface and all won by Shelton, and two in 2024, one of which was on clay in Geneva, both won by the Italian.
Cobolli became a giant killer by defeating the defending champion and No. 1 seed, Alexander Zverev, in the semifinals in an emphatic fashion, thereby causing a major upset.
On the other hand, Shelton defeated Alex Molcan in straight sets to reach his second ATP 500 final of the season after a poor display at home in the Sunshine Double and the Houston Open.
While both players have managed to play their brand of tennis in Munich, this one is expected to be a close affair. But we are still leaning towards the Italian to claim his second title of the season, as he is more agile and assertive on clay than Shelton.
Elena Rybakina vs. Karolina Muchova: Total Games Over 22.5 (-102)
The women’s World No. 2 is still looking for a WTA title this season since winning the inaugural Grand Slam in Melbourne in January. Rybakina has a massive opportunity to claim the title in Stuttgart.
Still, her Czech counterpart will not be making her life any easier, as she has produced amazing tennis this week, beating the likes of Coco Gauff and Elina Svitolina on her way to the summit clash.
While we predict the Kazakh to claim the title in Stuttgart today, it shouldn’t be a smooth ride to silverware as Muchova will be fighting fire with fire in an attempt to win her second WTA title of the year.
The Czech leads the head-to-head battle against Rybakina 2-1, with her most recent win coming at the Brisbane International. Expect a feisty three-setter today, with over 22 games.
Andrey Rublev vs. Arthur Fils: Total Games by Rublev Under 11.5 (-110)
Arthur Fils will face Andrey Rublev for the third time on tour, and this will be their first meeting in the final of an ATP event. Both players have been dominant from the outset at the Barcelona Open, cruising past their opponents with authority. The Frenchman is having an amazing year, reaching his second ATP final and causing major upsets along the way.
In contrast, Rublev has also showcased streaks of brilliance this season, but has been slightly inconsistent at major tournaments. The duo’s only previous meeting on clay came at the Monte Carlo Masters in 2025, where Fils thumped the Russian to secure a straight-sets victory.
Having already beaten Lorenzo Musetti in the quarterfinals, the Frenchman looks extremely agile and ruthless on clay, which is why we believe he is bound to secure a straight-sets victory against Rublev today, thereby claiming his first title of the year.
Marta Kostyuk vs. Veronika Podrez: Total Games Under 18.5 (-105)
This will be the first meeting on tour between the two Ukrainians. Marta Kostyuk has played her brand of tennis at the Rouen Open. At the same time, Veronika Podrez has been a surprise factor, reaching the maiden WTA 250 final in her still-nascent professional career.
The teenager has played amazing tennis all week, but Kostyuk just might be the biggest challenge she has faced in recent tournaments.
We expect a one-sided affair today, as Kostyuk should brush aside the teenage sensation in straight sets by registering multiple breaks of serve in both sets and restricting Podrez to under three games in each set, thereby making our pick highly lucrative.
Leandro Riedi vs. Yunchaokete Bu: Total Games Under 22.5 (-110)
Yunchaokete Bu has been in great nick at the ATP Challenger in Busan, South Korea. He has not dropped a single set on his way to the summit clash and has dominated the proceedings of every match from the outset. Leandro Riedi, too, has not yet lost a single set in the tournament and looks in great form.
This is expected to be an amazing clash between two players who have dominated the field in Busan in the past week, but we predict the 24-year-old Chinese to prevail in the summit clash and keep the total games under 22.
