LiontipsAlexei Popyrin vs Daniel Evans. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP US Open (September 3, 2021).
Command Analysis
Popyrin looks decent at the current tournament. We can't say that the Australian is in perfect shape, but he ousted his first-round opponent Radu Albot in four sets (6-3, 6-7, 6-3, 6-3), and then looked confident against Grigor Dimitrov, who withdrew from the match during the third set (7-6, 7-6, 4-0). Popyrin has played at the US Open only once before, and then he was eliminated in the third round.
Evans isn't demonstrating his best tennis at the current tournament, but still, he managed to outplay two serious opponents. In his opener, Evans defeated Thiago Monteiro (6-3, 6-7, 6-4, 6-1), and in the second round, he beat Marcos Giron (6-4, 7-6, 2-6, 6-3). Before the start of the competition, Evans didn't show good results on hard but he seems to have found his game at the Major.
