LiontipsAlexander Zverev vs Sam Querrey. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP US Open (August 31, 2021).
Command Analysis
Last year, Zverev came very close to winning his first Grand Slam title, but in the final match of the US Open, he lost to Dominic Thiem. They will not meet in New York this year: Thiem isn't participating. Zverev approaches this Major in excellent shape. He is on a winning streak of 11 matches, which include his stellar performance at the Tokyo Olympics, where he won the gold medal, and the Cincinnati Masters, which Zverev also won. During all this time, Zverev lost only two sets (to the world's best players - Novak Djokovic and Stefanos Tsitsipas).
Querrey used to be one of the best players on the planet. The American tennis player had ranked 11th. Even now, when he is over the hill, he has a huge serve. It helps him quite a lot on grass courts but doesn't give Querrey an advantage on hard. After the end of the grass stretch of the season, Querrey has not won a single match. He was defeated by Brandon Nakashima (3-6, 4-6), Peter Gojowczyk (6-4, 6-7, 6-7), and Kei Nishikori (4-6, 3-6).

Tip and bets
Zverev is on an impressive winning streak, but it can make him overconfident. Querrey should not be underestimated, he has a power serve and home-court advantage, and won't give up easily.
Our prediction – total over 31,5 games.
Querrey lost to Zverev in two head-to-head meetings, but these victories were difficult for the German. The American will put up a fight, and he can make the favourite nervous.
