ATP US Open Best Bets Including Djokovic vs Struff

ATP US Open 1/8-Finals

Djokovic – Struff: Time TBA
H2H: 7-0

Novak Djokovic has won four of his last five matches. This week, the Serb defeated Tien in the opening round in straight sets. In the second round, Svajda won the opening set 7-6. However, after that, Djokovic turned the match quickly around. In the third round, Djokovic defeated Norrie in four sets easily.

Jan-Lennard Struff has won six straight matches. This week in New York, the German qualified for the main draw of the tournament. In the opening main draw round, the German turned the match around against McDonald, winning in four sets. Struff upset Rune and Tiafoe in the second and third rounds.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Djokovic is the clear favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Struff has no answer for his game. Djokovic leads 7-0 in head-to-head meetings and has dropped only one set in those past seven meetings. We expect him to dominate and win easily.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Novak Djokovic -6.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365

Machac – Fritz: Time TBA
H2H: 0-2

Tomas Machac has won three of his last five matches. This week in New York, Machac defeated Nardi, Fonseca and Blanche all in straight sets en route to the 1/8-Finals.

Taylor Fritz has won four of his last five matches. This week in New York, Fritz defeated Nava in straight sets in the opening round. He saved all four breakpoints he offered. In the second round, Fritz defeated Harris in four sets, after losing the opening set 4-6. Kym fought hard in the third round, but it just was not enough. Fritz won in four sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Machac is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He played his best tennis this week in New York and has yet to drop a set. On the other hand, Fritz had some problems in the early rounds. We expect Machac to keep this match close.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Tomas Machac +4.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365

Rinderknech – Alcaraz: Time TBA
H2H: 0-3

Arthur Rinderknech has won three of his last five matches. This week in New York, Rinderknech won the opening match against Carballes Baena in four tight sets. In the second round, Rinderknech upset Davidovich Fokina in five tight sets. After losing the opening set against Bonzi in the third round, Rinderknech quickly turned the match around.

Carlos Alcaraz has won nine straight matches. This week, the Spaniard defeated Opelka, Bellucci and Darderi all in straight sets en route to the 1/8-Finals. He looks unstoppable.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Alcaraz is the big favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is in great form and the biggest favourite to win the title this week. We expect him to dominate against Rinderknech and win easily.

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

Value bet/ the best odds: Carlos Alcaraz -8.5 games handicap @2.10 @bet365
