LiontipsJiri Vesely vs Kevin Anderson. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP US Open (August 30, 2021).
Command Analysis
Vesely is having a poor year. He dropped down to 89th place in the ATP world rankings, and might even lose a position in the top100. The Czech tennis player didn't have playing practice before the US Open. His last official appearance was in Kitzbuhel on clay, where he reached the second round of the tournament. He passed Ernests Gulbis but then was defeated by Jozef Kovalík.
Anderson has recently shown brilliant play at the tournament in Newport, where he won the trophy. The South African tennis player defeated Jenson Brooksby in the final. However, that was on grass, and hard courts are a different story. Anderson doesn't show such great results on this surface. Before the start of the US Open, Anderson played at three tournaments on hard. He was ousted in the first round in Atlanta and Washington, and in Cincinnati he successfully passed the qualification, winning over Lorenzo Musetti and Steve Johnson, but then lost to Karen Khachanov (2-6, 4-6).
