LiontipsCressy vs Herbert. US Open match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Cressey beat Zsombor Piros (6-4, 3-6, 6-3) in the first round of US Open qualifying. Maxim hit ten aces, converted three break points and lost two games on his serve in the match against the Hungarian. For the American, this was his 15th win on open hard courts this season, with ten losses.
Professional qualities
Nothing has changed in Cressey's game. The American still relies heavily on his serve, which has been intermittent this season. If the first serve doesn't fly, then it's unlikely that Maxim will win the game.
Current indicators in the tour
Cressey left the top 50 of the world rankings due to a hand injury and is currently ranked 162. This season, Maxim demonstrated his best results on his specialty hard court - in April-May, he reached the semifinals of the Challenger in Morelos and Guangzhou. During his career, the American has won seven titles, one of which is ATP.
Interesting facts for betting
Cressey has only played one tiebreak in his last five matches.
Current form
Herbert broke the resistance of Benjamin Hassan (6-7, 7-6, 6-3) in the first round of the US Open qualification. Pierre-Hugues served eight aces, converted seven break points and lost six games on his serve in the match against the Lebanese representative. For the Frenchman, this was the second victory on open hard courts this season after two defeats.
Professional qualities
Herbert is good on fast courts. This season, he won the indoor title in Montpellier. The Frenchman has a good serve and knows how to play at the net - skills he has retained from his doubles match with Nicolas Mahut.
Current indicators in the tour
Herbert is currently ranked 133rd in the world, although he was once ranked 36th. Pierre-Hugues has one title to his credit this season - he won the Challenger in Quimper. For the Frenchman, this was the 11th title in his career.
