Tennis tips today – Matches today from 18.06.
This week’s tennis schedule features a real classic: the 500-series tournament in Halle. In addition to Germany’s number one, Alexander Zverev, the world’s top-ranked player will also be on court these days.
He mastered his first-round match with flying colors, defeating Yannick Hanfmann in 91 minutes. Hanfmann failed to get off to a good start, just like Jan-Lennard Struff and Daniel Altmaier, which means that Zverev is already the last German tennis star in the field before his first day of the tournament.
He will start against Marcos Giron today. They already faced each other on grass last year, with the American having just as little chance as he did a few months later in Vienna, not even enjoying a break point in either match.
Does he have a better chance on Wednesday? I’ll provide you with the relevant odds from our betting providers for this and the other matches taking place in Halle. In addition to two round of 32 matches, the first round of 16 matches are already taking place.
Tennis tips today – June 18, 2025
In Stuttgart, Zverev once again failed to overcome the hurdle named “Taylor Fritz” in the final, who is not playing in Halle this week, but is instead serving in London. However, there is another opponent in the field who has also frequently caused Zverev problems.
We are talking about Daniil Medvedev, who has already recorded 13 victories against the best tennis player of all time who has never won a Grand Slam title. Fritz has won five matches against Zverev, Medvedev three. The next direct duel could take place in the semi-finals.
First, the Muscovite wants to get the job done against Quentin Halys, who is likely to put pressure on the favored number three seed with his fast game.
I’m also looking forward to the matches between Alex Michelsen and Stefanos Tsitsipas and Karen Khachanov and Zizou Bergs. The latter made it to the final in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, but ultimately missed out on his first career title against Gabriel Diallo.

Tennis tips today, June 18: Bergs – Khachanov (11:30 a.m.)
Khachanov has already achieved some notable highlights in his career, including winning the silver medal at the Olympic Games in Tokyo. In addition to a good serve, he plays a courageous game with lots of balls towards the baseline.
Bergs faces a difficult task and has had a much more strenuous week in the tournament. Like Khachanov, the Belgian lost to Diallo. He currently has the best win rate on grass and Khachanov is not in top form. One or two sets are likely to take longer here!
Our expert tip: Tiebreak in the match
Tennis betting today 18.06.: Giron vs. Zverev (1:00 p.m.)
Zverev will then take to the center court in Halle for the first time this year. He has reached the final here four times, twice in doubles with his brother Mischa and twice in singles, where he faced a certain Roger Federer, among others.
In my detailed analysis of the match, I have explained exactly why I am convinced that Zverev will win easily. In short, Giron simply lacks the playing skills, especially the speed, to pose a threat to Zverev. I expect a mirror image of their previous encounters.
Our expert tip: 2:0 Zverev
Tennis betting today 18.06.: Halys – Medvedev (2:30 p.m.)
Even! Halys and Medvedev are tied 1:1 in their head-to-head, but the Frenchman’s victory was over ten years ago. Medvedev triumphed in the round of 16 in Miami in 2023. And what can we expect from the first grass court match between these two players, who are both over 1.90 meters tall?
The number of breaks should be limited. Like the bookmakers, I see Medvedev in the lead, mainly because of his good counterplay. However, he already had problems with Opelka’s fast serves. He showed an improvement in performance at the start of the tournament in Halle against Daniel Altmaier.
Our expert tip: Tiebreak in the match
Tennis betting today 18.06.: Michelsen – Tsitsipas (4:00 p.m.)
Tsitsipas is now only playing at world-class level in individual tournaments. In Paris, the former world number three was knocked out in the second round and is now ranked 25th. Reaching the quarter-finals of the Masters in Monaco in March was his biggest highlight since March.
He struggled to get through the first round against Luciano Darderi. Michelsen took on the bigger name in the field in Francisco Cerundolo, even though the Argentine is not as strong on grass as he is on clay. The 20-year-old has a clean slate against Tsitsipas.
Our expert tip: Michelsen to win
