ATP US Open 1/64-Finals

Borges – Holt: 26.08.2025 22:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Nuno Borges has lost four of his last five matches. Last week in Winston-Salem, Borges lost to Majchrzak in the opening match. Last season in New York, Borges lost against Medvedev in the fourth round in straight sets.

Benjamin Holt has lost four of his last five matches. Last week in Winston-Salem, Holt lost against McDonald in the opening round in three tight sets. His best result at the US Open hap pened three years ago, when he upset Fritz in the opening round.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Borges is the favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. An American playing at the US Open is always dangerous. Borges needs to find his best tennis to win tomorrow. He is in terrible form, and we believe Holt will be able to keep this match tight with the help of the crowd.

That being said, Holt covering the games handicap is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Benjamin Holt +4.5 games handicap @1.91 @bet365

Fucsovics – Shapovalov: 26.08.2025 17:00 CEST
H2H: 2-2

Marton Fucsovics has won six straight matches. Last week in Winston-Salem, the Hungarian played his best tennis, which resulted in him win ning his third ATP title of his career. He only dropped one set.

Denis Shapovalov has won three of his last five matches. The last match he played was in Cincinnati, where he lost against Nardi in the opening match. He has never made it past the quarterfinals in New York. Last season, Shapovalov lost against Van de Zandschulp in the opening round in straight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Fucsovics is coming into this tournament fully confident after recently winning the title in Winston-Salem. On the other hand, Shapovalov often disappoints at the Grand Slam level. We believe Fucsovics is a bet ter player and will handle the pressure better than Shapovalov.

That being said, Fucsovics winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Marton Fucsovics winning @2.00 @bet365

Bublik – Cilic: 26.08.2025 18:30 CEST
H2H: 0-3

Alexander Bublik has won eight straight matches. After winning back-to-back titles in Gstaad and Kitzbühel on clay, the Kazakh took some time off to rest and prepare for the upcoming US Open. His last hard-court match was in March in Miami.

M arin Cilic has won three of his last five matches. The last match he played was at Wimbledon, where he lost against Cobolli in the 1/8-Finals. The Croat was a champion here in 2014. In his last appearance in 2022, Cilic lost to Alcaraz in the fourth round in five tight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Bublik is the slight favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. Cilic always performs his best tennis at the Grand Slam level. Bublik has not played any competitive matches for the past few weeks. Cilic leads 3-0 in head-to-head meetings, and we expect him to keep this match close.

That being said, Cilic covering the games handicap is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Marin Cilic +3.5 games handicap @1.80 @bet365
