LiontipsAlex Molchan vs Diego Schwartzman. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP US Open (September 3, 2021).
Command Analysis
Molchan has never spent much time playing on hard courts. The Slovakian tennis player prefers clay, and this year he played 50 matches on clay against 10 matches on hard. Despite this, Molchan easily defeated his opponents at the US Open. In the qualifying matches, Molchan passed Kimmer Coppejans, Zdenek Kolar, and Gastao Elias. In the main draw, he ousted Cem Ilkel and Brandon Nakashima.
Lately, Schwartzman could not boast of successful results, but the Argentine looks very good at US Open. Schwartzman won his opening matches with ease. First, he left no chances for Ricardas Berankis (7-5, 6-3, 6-3), and then passed Kevin Anderson (7-6, 6-3, 6-4). In 2017 and 2019, Schwartzman successfully performed at this Major, reaching the quarterfinals. He might be able to advance that far this year, too.
