LiontipsAlexander Zverev vs Lloyd Harris. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP US Open (September 8, 2021).
Command Analysis
Last year, Zverev had a real chance to win the US Open, but in the final match, he failed to beat Dominic Thiem. This year the Austrian tennis player doesn't take part in the Major, but if Zverev advances to the semifinal, he will probably have to face Novak Djokovic.
Zverev is approaching the quarterfinal match in excellent form. He hasn't lost since Wimbledon where he was eliminated from the last 16 by Felix Auger Aliassime. At the US Open, Zverev defeated Sam Querrey, Albert Ramos, Jack Sock, and Jannik Sinner. He lost only one set in four matches.
Few people believed in Harris before the start of the US Open, but the South African athlete has been quite impressive. He looked really great against Ernesto Escobedo and Denis Shapovalov and coped with Reilly Opelka's huge serve. In the previous round, Harris played beautifully at the return and broke Opelka's serve six times.
Harris' most difficult fixture at the US Open was against Karen Khachanov. He needed five sets to defeat the Russian tennis player.
