LiontipsIlya Ivashka vs Matteo Berrettini. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP US Open (September 4, 2021).
Command Analysis
Ivashka is currently on a winning streak of eight matches. Last week, he won the tournament in Winston-Salem, and at the US Open Ivashka continues to demonstrate solid tennis. He hasn't lost a single set in New York. In the first round, Ivashka eliminated the American tennis player Tennys Sandgren (7-6, 6-3, 6-4), and in the second round, he defeated Vasek Pospisil (6-3, 6-4, 7-6).
Berrettini is not in his optimal form. The Italian tennis player had certain problems at the Masters in Cincinnati, but it looked like he would be able to gain momentum at the US Open. Yet, Berrettini was unconvincing in his first two matches in New York. In the first round, Berrettini got the upper hand against the Frenchman Jeremy Chardy (7-6, 7-6, 6-3), and then spent a lot of energy in a duel against Corentin Moutet ( 7-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3).
