LiontipsAlbert Ramos Vinolas vs Lucas Pouille. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP US Open (August 31, 2021).
Command Analysis
Ramos Vinolas looked fantastic at the beginning of the year on clay courts. The Spaniard was the runner-up at the tournament in Cordoba and won the competition in Estoril. But on hard, he is not doing so well. In total, he played eight matches on this surface in 2021 and got two victories. However, in the most recent matches, Ramos Vinolas managed to win sets from Marin Cilic and Matteo Berrettini and also defeated Taylor Fritz.
Pouille hasn't found his game since returning to the tour. The former World№10 was eliminated in the first or second round of every tournament this year, except for the Monte Carlo Open, where he reached the third round. Pouille's last appearance was at Winston-Salem, where he successfully passed the qualifying rounds and defeated Darian King and Noah Rubin. In the main draw, the French tennis player won over Feliciano Lopez in the first round (6-1, 6-4), but then was defeated by Daniel Evans (6-3, 4-6, 1-6).

Tip and bets
Pouille is in poor form, and Ramos Vinolas never performs well on hard. We think that neither player will be able to get an easy pass to the next round. An exchange of winning sets seems likely, so we suggest betting on the total over. In 4 out of 5 head-to-head meetings, the opponents played the maximum number of sets.
Our prediction - total over 35.5 games.
Ramos Vinolas is a very inconvenient opponent for Pouille. Even in his best years, he lost to the Spaniard. Pouille is out of form, and we think that Ramos Vinolas can eke a win here.
Second wager - Ramos Vinolas to win.
