LiontipsAndy Murray vs Stefanos Tsitsipas. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP US Open (August 30, 2021).
Command Analysis
Murray is currently ranked 114th in the ATP world ranking. He definitely could have been much higher, but health problems prevent him from playing too often. Murray has played only four matches in the last two months. In Cincinnati, he defeated Richard Gasquet (6-4, 6-4) and lost to Hubert Hurkacz (6-7, 6-3). In Winston-Salem, the Briton showed similar results: after defeating Noah Rubin (6-2, 6-0), he was eliminated by Frances Tiafoe (6-7, 3-6).
Three weeks ago, Tsitsipas became the World№3. This is his best achievement so far. In the ATP world rankings, the Greek tennis player has passed Rafael Nadal, who hasn't performed well recently due to health problems. However, the latest performances of Tsitsipas haven't been entirely convincing. In Toronto and Cincinnati, he was eliminated in the semifinals, losing to Reilly Opelka and Alexander Zverev, respectively.
