Bet on Vit Kopriva vs Hugo Gaston on Tennis

Bookmakers slightly favor Hugo Gaston to win against Vit Kopriva with recent market odds typically around 1.70 for Gaston and 2.10 for Kopriva, reflecting Gaston’s higher peak ranking and stronger record on hard courts over the past month. Gaston has also faced tougher ATP-level opposition recently, while Kopriva’s best results have come mainly on clay, which tilts the probabilities in the Frenchman’s favor with DexWin - Best Odds on Your Favourite Sports.

The match between Vit Kopriva and Hugo Gaston in the Auckland event is scheduled to start at 10:00 PM UTC on January 10, 2026. This corresponds to 11:00 PM CET in central Europe and 12:00 PM NZDT on January 11 in Auckland local time, allowing both European and New Zealand audiences to follow the encounter live.

The match will be played in Auckland, New Zealand, at the ASB Tennis Centre, a hard-court venue that hosts the city’s primary ATP tournament each January. The complex features outdoor plexicushion courts with seating of roughly 3,500–4,000 on the main show court, known for relatively quick conditions when the weather is warm and dry.

Given Gaston’s recent form on hard courts and higher tour-level experience, he is a slight favorite, with implied probabilities around 58–60 percent based on odds near 1.70, compared to Kopriva’s 40–42 percent at roughly 2.10. However, Kopriva’s solid baseline game and fitness make an upset possible, and value bettors might also look at over-games markets if both players protect serve better than their season averages.

Official head-to-head records in the past month do not show any recent meetings between Vit Kopriva and Hugo Gaston at ATP or major Challenger level, suggesting this is likely their first professional encounter. With no direct matchup data to draw from, analysts must rely more heavily on surface-specific performance, current form, and ranking trends rather than historical clashes.
