Lehecka – Coric: 24.08.2025 20:30 CEST
H2H: 1-0
Jiri Lehecka has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Cincinnati, Shelton outlasted Lehecka in the 1/8-Finals. Last season in New York, the Czech lost to Rublev in the third round in straight sets. This will be his fifth appearance at the US Open.
Borna Coric has four straight matches. His last win was over three months ago on clay, when he won the Challenger title. Last week in Winston-Salem, the Croat lost to Blanch in the opening round in straight sets. In the past two US Open editions, Coric lost both times in the opening round.
According to the bookies, Lehecka is the heavy favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. Coric is in terrible form, but he has had several solid results at the US Open throughout his career. On the other hand, Lehecka never succeeded in New York. We believe Coric will keep this match tight.
That being said, Coric covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Borna Coric +5.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365
Thompson – Moutet: 24.08.2025 22:00 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Jordan Thompson has won three of his last five matches. His last match was in Cincinnati, where he lost to Mannarino in the opening round in straight sets. Last season at the US Open, the Australian lost to de Minaur in the fourth round. Reaching the fourth round has also been his best result at the US Open.
Corentin Moutet has lost three of his last five matches. His last match was in Cincinnati, when he lost to Michelsen in the second round in three tight sets. The Frenchman has never made it past the fourth round here.
According to the bookies, Thompson is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. If both players deliver their best tennis, this will be a 50-50 matchup. Thompson has tons of experience, and we expect him to keep this match close.
That being said, Thompson covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Jordan Thompson +4.5 games handicap @1.91 @bet365

Learner Tien has won three of his last five matches. His last match was in Cincinnati, where he lost to Rublev in the second round in straight sets.
According to the bookies, Tien is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. The American is having his breakthrough season. On the other hand, Djokovic has not played any competitive matches since Wimbledon. We expect Tien to keep this match tight.
That being said, Tien covering the games handicap is a value bet.
