USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center (New York).
Medvedev got off to a great start in New York, so we’re hoping for a similar continuation, the more so because Daniil’s third-round opponent is not at all top-seeded Spaniard Pablo Andujar, the 74th-ranked world champion.
Pablo Andujar’s current form
After Wimbledon and before the US Open, Pablo played two matches at two tournaments. At the Olympics, the Spaniard lost to Umber, in Germany’s Ludenschild to Basic. We didn’t have much faith in the Spaniard in New York, but he made it to the third round, which is very good for the 74th ranked player in the world. True, the Pyrenean was lucky with the seeding. Kukushkin and Kohlschreiber are pretty easy to bear, even for the 74th-ranked in the world. But it is doubtful that we will see the Spaniard in the third round. We doubt if Pablo will beat Daniil in even a single set.
Daniil Medvedev’s current form
Gasquet was beaten in two hours, and Köpfer took even less, one hour and 50 minutes. Medvedev’s excellent form is pleasing. Daniil is a clear contender for the American Majors title. Let’s not forget that before the US Open, Daniil triumphed in Toronto and was a semi-finalist at the Masters in Cincinnati.
Expert Betting Tips
We bet on a sure win for Medvedev in the first two rounds, and both times we were right. We see no reason to change the position because Andujar is not a top tennis player, but by and large, not a hardcourt player either. The Spaniard likes clay. Otherwise, how else to explain that he played a clay tournament in Germany instead of playing a few tournaments on hard court before the USO, where he lost in the first match anyway. In general, we don’t think Medvedev will have big problems with Andujar. We bet on a fast game and a confident victory of the second racket of the world. Here are the following bets: Total Under (26.5) for 1.64, Handicap 2 (-10.5) for 1.94.
