The ATP and WTA Tours are currently in full swing, as the women are playing a 1000-level event in Doha and the men are competing in 500-level tournaments in Rotterdam, Buenos Aires, and Dallas. With that in mind, we have a lot to cover over the next couple of days. I\u2019ll be writing up my tennis best bets from Monday to Friday, then I\u2019ll post my championship picks on the VSiN Pro Picks page on Sunday. That said, keep reading for my tennis best bets for Thursday, February 12.<\/p>\n
RELATED: Check out the VSiN picks page for picks and best bets from all of our talented VSiN hosts and analysts! <\/a><\/p>\n NOTE: Gill Alexander, host of A Numbers Game, posts a bunch of tennis plays to the VSiN picks page. He does a great job handicapping tennis. That page is also where I post all of my Challenger-level picks + plays for all of the tournaments I\u2019m not writing up daily. <\/p>\n Jaume Munar vs. Karen Khachanov \u2013 Rotterdam<\/p>\n Khachanov can be awesome when he\u2019s playing his best tennis, but we don\u2019t normally see his best stuff early in the year. In fact, just last match, Khachanov really struggled to defeat Jesper De Jong. That was his first match after a disappointing loss to Luciano Darderi at the Australian Open. <\/p>\n With Khachanov not playing the cleanest tennis in the world, Munar should have a good shot at winning this match. The Spaniard continues to get better and better on hard courts, where he has added a more imposing offensive game to go along with his world-class baseline defense. He also continues to get better as a server. <\/p>\n From the back of the court, keep an eye on the backhand-to-backhand exchanges. I normally love Khachanov\u2019s two-hander when he\u2019s ripping it down the line, but that\u2019s not something he goes to when he isn\u2019t feeling extremely confident. That said, we could see Munar do well when they\u2019re trading blows from that wing, and I think the Spaniard will do a good job of hunting opportunities to blast his forehand. <\/p>\n I just like all of the skills Munar brings to the table here. He should find a way to frustrate Khachanov, making this closer to a 50-50 than the odds suggest.<\/p>\n Bet: Munar ML (+122)<\/p>\n Mariano Navone vs. Camilo Ugo Carabelli \u2013 Buenos Aires<\/p>\n Navone has taken a sizable tumble in the rankings, as he was world No. 29 back in June 2024. However, this is still a very dangerous clay-court player, and he has to feel pretty good about beating his fellow countryman here. <\/p>\n Ugo Carabelli has played some good tennis since the start of 2026, and he\u2019s actually coming off a Challenger title in Rosario last week. However, you do have to wonder if playing this many clay-court matches in such a short period of time will get to him. This is one of the most physically-demanding surfaces there is, as the rallies can really grind you down. Well, Navone is going to look to test his opponent\u2019s legs here. <\/p>\n Navone also has quite a bit of firepower from the back of the court, and he also possesses a good all-court game on top of that. If he can just turn in a decent serving performance here, he should end up coming away with a victory. That\u2019s because Navone is a top-five returner in the world on this surface, and Ugo Carabelli isn\u2019t good enough with the ball on his racquet to easily run through service games. <\/p>\n Bet: Navone ML (-120 \u2013 1.5 units)<\/p>\n 2026 ATP\/WTA Record: 116-120 (+24.14 units) <\/p>\n Added Plays<\/p>\n I usually have A LOT MORE on the Pro Picks page<\/a>. Those plays count towards my record and have been a big part of my success this season. Make sure you check them out. I\u2019ll probably add a few more over there, so refresh that page throughout the day if you\u2019re looking for action.<\/p>\n Tennis Links\u00a0<\/p>\n VSiN Tennis Betting Splits<\/a><\/p>\n
