Roberto Bautista Agut vs Nick Kyrgios. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP US Open (August 31, 2021).

Command Analysis

At the beginning of the year, Bautista Agut showed excellent results on hard. The Spaniard reached the final of the Doha tournament and the semifinals in Miami. Bautista Agut didn't have success on clay, and we hoped that he would once again deliver after returning to hard courts. However, so far his achievements were modest. In Toronto, Bautista Agut reached the quarterfinals, where he lost to Reilly Opelka (3-6, 6-7), and in Cincinnati, he lost to Grigor Dimitrov (3-6, 4-6).
Bautista Agut doesn't have an impressive record at the US Open. His best result is the last 16 in 2016. In recent years, he hasn't made it past the third round.

Kyrgios seems to have grown tired of tennis. He doesn't often appear at ATP tournaments, for instance, we didn't see the Australian tennis player at all between the Australian Open and Wimbledon.
Due to the lack of playing practice, Kyrgios cannot boast of good results. He has got only one victory in the past month when he defeated Kevin Anderson (7-6, 6-3) in Atlanta. That win was followed by three defeats: Kyrgios lost to Cameron Norrie (1-6, 4-6), Mackenzie MacDonald (4-6, 4-6), and Reilly Opelka (6-4, 6-7, 4-6).
Trends
Ставка2nd set: total under 10.5
Kyrgios played under 10 games in the second set in 3 of his last 4 matches.
Ставка1st set: Kyrgios to win
The Australian tennis player won the first set in 5 of his last 7 matches.
Tip and bets
We don't think that either of the players can get an easy victory in this match. Despite both Bautista Agut and Kyrgios being great tennis players, the first one is out of form and the second one seems to not take tennis seriously anymore. The opponents will probably exchange winning sets, so we suggest betting on the total over.
Our prediction - total over 38 games.
Bautista Agut is the favourite, but Kyrgios can put up a good fight. The Australian is very talented, and even when he is out of form he can create problems for almost any opponent.
Second wager - handicap (+4.5) games to Kyrgios.
