Jannik Sinner Betting Preview

Jannik Sinner is coming off a straight set win over Jack Draper that took 33 games to decide. In the victory, Sinner won 77 percent of his first serve points and 74 percent of his second serve points. Sinner won 76 percent of his total service points and converted on 4 of his 11 break points. Sinner got 65 percent of his first serves in play and hit 43 winners. Sinner has dropped just two sets this tournament and is now 3-0 in tiebreaks. Sinner has won each of his last 10 played matches, and 6 of those wins were decided in straight sets. 

Sinner looks to win his second career grand slam title and first at the US Open. Sinner is 5-0 in final appearances this year, 15-4 in final appearances overall, and 13-4 in final appearances on hard court. Sinner has won 11 straight matches on hard court.

Taylor Fritz Betting Preview

Taylor Fritz is coming off a 5 set win over Frances Tiafoe that took 49 games to decide. In the victory, Fritz won 75 percent of his first serve points and 65 percent of his second serve points. Fritz won 71 percent of his total service points and converted on 6 of his 11 break points. Fritz got 58 percent of his first serves in play and hit 42 winners. Fritz has played 13 sets of tennis in his last 3 matches and nearly 7 hours of tennis in his last 2 matches alone, so conditioning could be a factor in this match for the American. With that said, Fritz is 4-1 in his last five 5 set matches. 

Fritz looks to win his first grand slam title, his third title this year and the ninth title of his career. Fritz is 8-6 in career final appearances and 5-5 in final trips on hard court. Four of Fritz’s titles have come in the United States. Fritz has 25 career wins over top-10 players, and 6 of those wins have come this year. Two of those wins have come in this tournament (Ruud and Zverev). Fritz has won 7 of his last 9 matches on hard court.

Jannik Sinner vs Taylor Fritz H2H

The previous two meetings have been split, as Fritz won 2021 Indian Wells in straight sets and Sinner won 2023 Indian Wells in 3 sets. This will obviously be the third meeting on hard court.

Jannik Sinner vs Taylor Fritz Prediction

Sinner should be favored in this match, considering he was probably the guy to beat from the beginning. However, the price is kind of nuts. Sinner has found ways to win recent matches, but he has yet to put together great performances, and that includes a combined 72 unforced errors in his last two matches. Sinner had serious trouble with his forehand in the semifinal, he was just able to outlast Draper physically, who was throwing up throughout the match. Fritz will have windows where he can take advantage of a sloppy Sinner, and of course that serve gives him an even stronger punchers chance. There’s also the home crowd, which gives Fritz even more of a shot.

Assuming Fritz doesn’t break down due to the amount of tennis he’s played in his last three matches, this is a winnable match. Give me the American and a chance to make three times my money.

Jessica Pegula Betting Preview

Jessica Pegula is coming off a 3 set win over Karolina Muchova that took 25 games to decide. In the victory, Pegula won 58 percent of her first serve points and 52 percent of her second serve points. Pegula won 56 percent of his total service points and converted on 5 of her 13 break points. Pegula got 67 percent of her first serves in play and hit 17 winners. Pegula found her game in the later parts of the match after losing the first set in 7 games and being down a break in the second. Pegula has dropped just one set this tournament, and she’s now won 5 straight matches that have gone the distance. 

Pegula looks to win her first grand slam title, her third title this year and the seventh title of her career. Pegula is 6-7 in final appearances for her career and 5-5 on hard court. Pegula has 21 career wins over top-10 players, and two of those wins have come this year. Pegula has won 9 of her last 10 matches on hard court.

In the victory, Sabalenka won 74 percent of her first serve points and 45 percent of her second serve points. Sabalenka won 65 percent of his total service points and converted on 3 of her 6 break points. Sabalenka got 68 percent of her first serves in play and hit 34 winners. Sabalenka got shaky toward the end of the second set but found her game in a tiebreak that lasted just 9 points. Sabalenka has lost just one set this tournament and has won her last 8 sets overall. Thirteen of Sabalenka’s last 14 wins have been decided in straight sets. 

Sabalenka looks to win her first US Open title and her third career grand slam title. Sabalenka is 2-1 in grand slam final appearances and 15-14 in final appearances overall. Sabalenka is 2-3 in final appearances this year and 13-6 in finals on hard court for her career. Sabalenka has won 11 straight matches on hard court.

Jessica Pegula vs Aryna Sabalenka H2H

Sabalenka has won 5 of the 7 meetings against Pegula, including the most recent match this year in Cincinnati. Pegula’s last win over Sabalenka came last year in Cancun. Six of the 7 matches were decided in straight sets. The 4 matches on hard court have been split down the middle. The only other grand slam appearance was in the 2020 French Open, which Sabalenka won in straight sets.

Jessica Pegula vs Aryna Sabalenka Prediction

As I mentioned previously, Sabalenka should be favored, as she’s been the best player pretty much all year. When Sabalenka is hitting her spots, there’s not much anybody can do to counter her power. However, we did see Sabalenka get shaky toward the end of her semifinal match, and it was a reminder of what happened in this venue last year. The crowd clearly has an impact on Sabalenka, and New York will be behind the American Pegula. Also, Pegula has had success against Sabalenka on hard court, winning 2 of the 4 matches. Pegula has played a clean game all tournament, and her ability to speed up her opponent has given opponents trouble. Sabalenka will not win this match if she tries to calm her nerves by going bigger than the last shot.

Sabalenka should be favored, but Pegula can not be slept on in this match. Getting nearly 2.5 times my money, I have to take a shot on Pegula at this price. This will be a competitive match.

Jannik Sinner Betting Preview

Jannik Sinner is coming off a 4 set win over Daniil Medvedev that took 32 games to decide. In the victory, Sinner won 76 percent of his first serve points and 61 percent of his second serve points.

Sinner absolutely dominated the match, losing a combined 7 games in the 3 sets he won, and he’s dropped just 2 sets this tournament.

Sinner looks to make his second career grand slam final appearance, and he’s 1-2 in grand slam semifinal matches. Sinner looks to make his sixth final appearance of the year and his 20th career final appearance overall. A win here would give Sinner 13 final appearances since February of last year. Sinner has won 10 straight matches on hard court.

Jack Draper Betting Preview

Jack Draper is coming off a straight set win over Alex De Minaur that took 29 games to decide. In the victory, Draper won 84 percent of his first serve points and 49 percent of his second serve points. Draper won 69 percent of his total service points and converted on 6 of his 20 break points. Draper got 56 percent of his first serves in play and hit 40 winners. Draper has yet to drop a set this tournament, and he’s the only player in the remaining field who can say that. At 22 years old, Draper should be fresh, but he did receive a medical timeout in the quarterfinals and had his leg wrapped, which is something to watch early.

Draper has a chance to make his first career grand slam final and his fourth career final appearance overall. With final trips at the Adelaide International and Stuttgart Open, a win here would give Draper 3 final appearances this year. Draper has 4 career wins over top-10 players, and 2 of those wins have come this year. Draper has won 8 of his last 9 matches on hard court.

Jannik Sinner vs Jack Draper H2H

Draper won the only match against Sinner, which was 2021 London. The match was decided in straight sets and 26 games. Draper won the combined tiebreaks by a score of 15-8. Obviously this will be the first meeting on hard court.

Jannik Sinner vs Jack Draper Prediction

Draper is going to have some confidence entering this match considering he hasn’t lost a set and beat Sinner a couple of years ago. Draper also has nothing to lose because nobody expected him to be here in the first place. You can talk yourself into a chance to make 4 times your money. The problem is Draper doesn’t do anything special that’s going to scare Sinner, the best player in the world who does everything at an above average level. Draper would have to serve out of his mind and have to work long rallies, something he doesn’t want to do. There’s also the experience factor, and who knows how Draper handles this moment. There’s a lot going against Draper in this match.

While I’d love to be wrong and see a competitive match, Sinner should make quick work of this contest. Give me Sinner in straight sets.

Taylor Fritz Betting Preview

Taylor Fritz is coming off a 4 set win over Alexander Zverev that took 45 games to decide. In the victory, Fritz won 81 percent of his first serve points and 53 percent of his second serve points.

Frances Tiafoe Betting Preview

Frances Tiafoe is coming off a 4 set win over Grigor Dimitrov that took 36 games to decide. In the victory, Tiafoe won 74 percent of his first serve points and 67 percent of his second serve points. Tiafoe won 70 percent of his total service points and converted on 6 of his 14 break points. Tiafoe got 50 percent of his first serves in play and hit 26 winners. Tiafoe played three hours of tennis and didn’t have to finish the match due to Dimitrov retiring 5 games into the fourth set. Tiafoe has played a lot of tennis to get here, so the extra day of rest should help. Tiafoe has won 8 of his last 11 matches that have gone longer than three sets.

Tiafoe looks for his first grand slam final appearance, and he lost his only other semifinal trip in the 2022 US Open. Tiafoe looks for his third final appearance of the year and the 10th of his career. Tiafoe has never made three final appearances in a single year. Tiafoe has won 9 of his last 10 matches on hard court.

Taylor Fritz vs Frances Tiafoe H2H

Fritz has won 6 of the last 7 matches against Tiafoe and each of the last 6 overall. Tiafoe’s only win over Fritz was in 2016 Indian Wells. The most recent match was 2023 Acapulco, which Fritz won in straight sets. Four of the 7 matches were decided in straight sets. The only other match in a major was 2022 Australian Open, which Fritz won in straight sets as well. Every previous match was on hard court.

Taylor Fritz vs Frances Tiafoe Prediction

Taylor Fritz is the rightful favorite given his game is more consistent, his serve is more reliable, and he’s absolutely dominated the H2H. Six straight wins, and a lot of those matches were one-sided. Fritz should win. However, this is New York where Tiafoe plays his best tennis and plays to the crowd better than Fritz. The crowd should be neutral given its two Americans, but Tiafoe does do a better job of working the people, while Fritz is more introverted and just plays his game. If things get tense and the crowd gets rowdy, it can flip things for Tiafoe and even make Fritz a little uncomfortable.

Again, Fritz should win, but there’s value with Tiafoe and a chance to make two times your money. I’ll take Tiafoe at this price.

Navarro looks to make her first career grand slam final appearance and second final appearance overall. Navarro’s only other final appearance came this year in the Hobart International. Navarro has 4 career wins over top-10 players, and 3 of those wins came this year. Navarro has won 7 of her last 8 matches on hard court.

Emma Navarro vs Aryna Sabalenka H2H

The previous two meetings have been split, as Navarro won 2024 Indian Wells in 3 sets, while Sabalenka won 2024 French Open in straight sets.

Emma Navarro vs Aryna Sabalenka Prediction

Navarro beat Sabalenka on US hard courts earlier this year, and that makes the plus money worth a look. She’s going to have the crowd behind her, and her defense has been solid all tournament. With all that said, Sabalenka has been money all year and is tough to bet against. Sabalenka also has the pop to hit through Navarro and take the racket out of her hands. There seems to be something in the air for US players this tournament, but the Belarusian has been arguably the best player in the world this year, and I’m not stepping in front of her and that power.

Give me Sabalenka in two competitive sets.

Mertens looks to make the fourth round of a grand slam for the fifth time since 2022 and the first time since last year’s French Open. Mertens is 4-1 in US Open third round matches. Mertens has won 4 of her last 6 matches on hard court.

Madison Keys vs Elise Mertens H2H

Keys has won 3 of the 4 matches against Mertens, but it was Mertens who won the most recent match in 2023 Cincinnati. Keys won the 2017 US Open, 2019 Australian Open and 2021 Wimbledon, all of which were decided in straight sets.

Madison Keys vs Elise Mertens Prediction

Mertens hasn’t been able to string together wins all season long, so it’s fair to doubt her here. Mertens hasn’t won 3 straight matches in over 7 months. Keys has looked sharp in her first two matches and is hitting her spots without racking up the unfired errors. If Keys is going to continue to play clean tennis, she’s somebody that could be a dark horse title contender. Of course, Keys will have help from the home crowd as well.

I like Keys to cruise to the fourth round, and I’ll back her in straight sets to shave down the price.

Gauff is 2-1 in US Open third round matches and 12-2 in grand slam third round matches overall. Gauff has won 5 of her last 8 matches on hard court.

Elina Svitolina vs Coco Gauff H2H

The previous two meetings are split, as Svitolina won 2021 Australian Open in straight sets, while Gauff won 2024 Auckland in 3 sets.

Elina Svitolina vs Coco Gauff Prediction

I wouldn’t be mad at you if you wanted to take a shot with Svitolina and the plus money. Gauff has been an error machine through two matches, and simply couldn’t find her serve at all in the second round. If that continues, a player like Svitolina will take advantage. With that said, I still think Gauff can do just enough to scrape by, but it won’t be easy. The American crowd will play its part and that could be the difference for Gauff to make the fourth round of the US Open for a third time.

Give me CoCo in 3 sets.

Djokovic has won all three matches against Popyrin, including the most recent match this year in Wimbledon, which was decided in 4 sets. The other meetings were 2019 Tokyo (straight sets) and 2024 Australian Open (4 sets). 

Alexei Popyrin vs Novak Djokovic Prediction

Popyrin has a shot in this match considering his play over the last few weeks, which includes a Canadian title. Popyrin was also competitive against Djokovic in past meetings, and Novak better get his first serve in play at a higher percentage if he hopes to make a title push. With that said, experience and track record matters. Djokovic nearly never loses early in a grand slam, while Popyrin is 0-6 in grand slam third round matches. At some point, you have to show me something before I can put my money on you.

Give me Djokovic in 4 sets.

Ben Shelton vs Frances Tiafoe H2H

Shelton won both matches against Tiafoe. The matches were the 2023 US Open, which lasted 4 sets and 2024 Houston, which was decided in 3 sets.

Ben Shelton vs Frances Tiafoe Prediction

This is a hell of a third round match and the atmosphere should be nuts in New York. I’m not mad at Tiafoe and the plus money based on his success at the US Open over the years. However, Shelton is the rightful favorite and should be the pick. Shelton has been more consistent with his shot making and his service game overall. Tiafoe has had some spotty games here and there, and that includes facing 13 break points already. Shelton is playing the cleaner tennis, and getting the better of Tiafoe through two matches doesn’t hurt either. Shelton hit 50 winners against Tiafoe in New York last year, and his power gives him control of a lot of these points.

Still, this will be one of the highlights of the tournament and is a must-watch. I’ll side with Shelton.

Tiafoe won 70 percent of his total service points and converted on 3 of his 6 break points. Tiafoe got 50 percent of his first serves in play and hit 13 aces. Tiafoe pulled off a miracle comeback after trailing the third set 2-5, and it’s going to be interesting to see how he responds from such an emotional win.

Jannik Sinner vs Frances Tiafoe H2H

Sinner has won 3 of the 4 matches against Tiafoe, including the most recent match in 2023 Vienna. Tiafoe’s only win over Sinner was 2021 Vienna. Only one of the four matches was decided in straight sets.

Jannik Sinner vs Frances Tiafoe Prediction

Sinner is the rightful favorite as he’s flexing his muscle as the best player in the world, he owns the H2H, and he has far and away more big match experience. However, we’re getting nearly three times our money with Tiafoe. One, Tiafoe isn’t the same player he was a couple of years ago, and three of the matches were in 2021 or later. Tiafoe also plays some of his best tennis on the biggest stages or when he has the crowd behind him. That’s the case here.

Will Sinner win? Probably. But I do want to take a shot in the dark with Tiafoe at these odds. On US soil, he’s a live dog.

Pegula is 3-1 in final trips in a WTA 1000 and 5-4 in final trips on hard court. Pegula has won 8 straight matches on hard court.

Aryna Sabalenka vs Jessica Pegula H2H

Sabalenka is 4-2 against Pegula, which includes wins in 4 of the last 5 meetings. The last meeting was won by Pegula last year in Cancun, which the American won in 19 games. The last five meetings were decided in straight sets. The only match to go the distance was the first match in 2020 Cincinnati, which Pegula won.

Aryna Sabalenka vs Jessica Pegula Prediction

Pegula is capable of winning this match, obviously, and she’ll have the home crowd behind her, which helps. The problem is, Pegula has way too many drop-offs in her game and is hard to trust. Pegula will get off to a fiery start and then lose 3 or 4 games in a row. It’s why Pegula has found herself in back to back 3 set matches. Against a more consistent and highly motivated player like Sabalenka, those drops in her game would lead to a quick day at the office. Sabalenka should also have a lot of success against Pegula’s second serve.

I like Sabalenka to win her second title of the year, and I’ll back her in straight sets to shave down the juice.

Cristian won 62 percent of her total service points and converted on 4 of her 13 break points. Cristian got 62 percent of her first serves in play and hit 4 aces. Cristian pulled off a nice upset, especially after dropping the first set, and you could argue it’s the biggest win of her career. Cristian hasn’t had a lot of success in big tournaments, so beating a top-25 player in the Olympics is huge. Cristian has a chance to win two matches for the third straight tournament. Cristian has won 5 of her last 7 matches on clay court.

It’s Kerber’s first win since Rome a little over two months ago. While Kerber’s form wasn’t great entering this event, we can’t forget she made the quarterfinals in the 2012 Olympics and won the silver medal in 2016. Kerber clearly enjoys representing Germany and can’t be slept on moving forward. Kerber has won 4 of her last 6 matches on clay court.

Jaqueline Cristian vs Angelique Kerber H2H

There’s no match history between Jaqueline Cristian and Angelique Kerber.

Jaqueline Cristian vs Angelique Kerber Prediction

Cristian deserves all the credit in the world for beating Garcia, and if she’s capable of that, she’s capable of winning this match. Kerber hasn’t been right the last couple of years and entered the Olympics in rough shape. However, Kerber has thrived in previous Olympic Games and is off to a fine start here. Also, Kerber has head and shoulders more experience in big events and big matches. Cristian just hasn’t had much success in main tournaments, and we have to question how she’ll handle the pressure as she advances.

I trust Kerber’s experience. I’ll lay the reasonable price.

Lulu Sun vs Donna Vekic H2H

There’s no match history between Vekic and Sun.

Lulu Sun vs Donna Vekic Prediction

This should be a fun match because Vekic and Sun are power hitters and had success this tournament by being aggressive and controlling the pace. There should be a lot of fun rallies between these two. With that said, I have to give the edge to Vekic because of the experience. Vekic has been in grand slam quarterfinals before, while Sun was just crying during her interview after her round four victory. At the business end of the tournament, nerves tend to be a factor and experience matters.

Give me Vekic to make her first ever grand slam semifinal.

Navarro has won 7 of her last 8 matches on grass court.

Jasmine Paolini vs Emma Navarro H2H

Navarro has won all 3 matches against Paolini, including the most recent match this year in Miami. Two of the three matches were decided in straight sets. This will be the first match on grass.

Jasmine Paolini vs Emma Navarro Wimbeldon Prediction

Navarro is going to be favored because she’s won all 3 matches against Paolini, and she absolutely crushed the favorite to win the tournament. Paolini is also probably a little lucky to be here as she had several chances to lose to Keys, and who knows how that match turns out if the American didn’t get hurt. With all that said, Paolini was playing great tennis before the fourth round, and she’s a little firecracker who plays with a feisty attitude and gives underdog prices a fighting shot. Paolini is not going to go down easily and in an expected close match I want the better price.

Give me Paolini in a minor upset.

Medvedev won 65 percent of his total service points and converted on 2 of his 3 break points. Medvedev only had to play 35 minutes in the fourth round, as Dimitrov retired after falling down.

Jannik Sinner vs Daniil Medvedev Wimbledon Prediction

Sinner is favored because he’s been the guy to beat in this tournament from the start, and he hasn’t shown much for that to change. I get it. However, in terms of value, you can make a case for Medvedev and a chance to make more than three times your money. Medvedev has looked good out there, and he’s hitting his spots with confidence. Medvedev also hasn’t had to play much tennis to get to this point, so fitness shouldn’t be an issue. Also, while Sinner has won the last 5 matches against Medvedev, let’s not forget it was Medvedev who won the first 6 matches against the Italian. Sinner should be favored, but I’ll take a shot with the big plus money and Medvedev.

Alcaraz and Paul have split the previous 4 matches. Alcaraz won 2023 Cincinnati and 2023 Miami. Paul won 2023 Toronto and 2022 Montreal. Three of the four matches were decided in straight sets.

Carlos Alcaraz vs Tommy Paul Wimbledon Prediction

Alcaraz is going to get the benefit of the doubt because he’s Alcaraz. With that said, it’s fair to say Paul has played the better tennis this tournament, and he’s been ridiculous on grass this year overall. Paul also has the confidence knowing he’s beat Alcaraz twice, and he’s been competitive even in losses. Alcaraz is piling up the unforced errors, and he had serving issues in his last match. This is a winnable match for Paul, and the fact we’re getting three times our money… Give me Paul based on the value.

Leylah Fernandez vs Daria Kasatkina Prediction

Fernandez and Kasatkina have had issues with their serve at times and could’ve easily lost their semifinal matches, so this match should be interesting. With that said, despite the struggles recently in final appearances, Kasatkina is the more trustworthy player and should win this match. Kasatkina had little issues with Fernandez in the past and there’s more to her offensive game which allows her to dictate more of the points. Kasatkina is also a fan of slower courts, so this is an ideal surface for her to end her title drought.

I like Kasatkina to win her first title in nearly two years.

Alexander Zverev vs Carlos Alcaraz H2H

Zverev has won 5 of the 9 matches against Alcaraz, but it was the Spaniard who won the most recent match this year in Indian Wells. Zverev won the other match this year in the Australian Open. Zverev beat Alcaraz in the 2022 French Open, but Alcaraz won 2 of the 3 matches on clay overall. Six of the nine matches were decided in straight sets.

Alexander Zverev vs Carlos Alcaraz Prediction

I’ve picked against Zverev a few times in this tournament, and he’s made me look foolish, so I wouldn’t be shocked if that happens again. However, what’s picking against him one more time going to hurt? As well as Zverev has played up to this point, he has had issues on the big stage, particularly against highly rated players. And while he may be changing the narrative a bit, I’m not ready to say he’s a new man. Alcaraz has positioned himself to become the new king of clay, and it does feel like he beat the biggest threat left in Sinner. Alcaraz has won two of the three matches against Zverev on clay, and he’s just more comfortable on this surface from a movement standpoint.

Zverev and decent sized plus money is attractive, but I’m rolling with the Spaniard to win his first French Open title. Give me Alcaraz in 4 sets.

Iga Swiatek vs Jasmine Paolini H2H

Swiatek has won both matches against Paolini in straight sets. The matches were a 2018 ITF match and 2022 US Open.

Iga Swiatek vs Jasmine Paolini Prediction

Paolini is enjoying her breakout year at 28 years old and deserves all the credit in the world. It’s been a highly successful season for Paolini, who is also in the doubles final at the French Open. I’m not taking anything away from Paolini. However, nobody on the current tour can beat Swiatek when she’s playing like this. Forget losing matches or sets, Swiatek has barely lost games in her last four matches. There’s not much you can do when Swiatek is dialed in like this. There’s also a massive experience edge between Swiatek and Paolini, and at some point you’re just waiting for that shoe to drop.

Give me Swiatek in straight sets.

Casper Ruud vs Alexander Zverev Prediction

Zverev got needed rest after playing a ton of tennis in previous matches. However, Ruud is as fresh as ever after not having to play since Monday. Ruud comfortably beat Zverev in this same spot last year. Ruud has won the last two matches against Zverev, including a win in these conditions. It’s going to come down to how consistent Zverev is serving, as he’s been dominant at times, but he did have issues in the quarterfinals. Like the first semifinal match, this has a chance to be a long, physical match. The value is with Ruud and the even money.
