LiontipsCasper Ruud vs Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP US Open (August 30, 2021).
Command Analysis
Ruud has played almost perfectly on clay this season. The Norwegian tennis player prefers clay to any other surface, but we have seen a lot of improvement in his performance on hard courts, too. For instance, at the recent Masters in Toronto and Cincinnati, Ruud got to the quarterfinals. But it is still hard to predict how far he will progress at the US Open.
Tsonga is having a terrible season. He has suffered many injuries, therefore lacks practice just before the start of the Major. He hasn't appeared at any tournaments for two months, and hasn't won a match for even longer: Tsonga is on a seven-match losing streak. Tsonga's best result at the US Open is reaching quarterfinals.
Trends
СтавкаTie-break - yes
Ruud has played 2 tie-breaks in the last 5 matches.
Ставка1st set: total over 9.5
More than 9.5 games were played in the first set in 3 of Tsonga's last 5 matches.
Tip and bets
We don't expect any sensations here. Seven defeats in a row and two months without playing practice - it is hardly worth betting on Tsonga. Ruud is the clear favourite of the match and should get an easy victory.
Our prediction - Ruud to win with a handicap of (-7) games.
Tsonga is out of shape and has suffered too many injuries lately. This year he played nine matches and won only one of them. This looks like a three-set win for Ruud.
Second wager - total under 33 games.
