LiontipsGaubas vs. Gasquet. Betting Tip and bets on the match US Open
Command Analysis
Current form
Gaubas won the first round of the US Open qualification against Daniel Rincon (6-3, 6-2). Vilius hit four aces in the match against the Spaniard, converted three break points and did not lose a single game on his serve.
Professional qualities
Gaubas is a clay court specialist. He feels most confident on slow surfaces, where he can drag out rallies and use his tactical endurance. Fast courts are not his element, as he does not have powerful shots either on the forehand or the backhand, which makes him less dangerous on these surfaces.
Current indicators in the tour
Gaubas is ranked 188th in the world. Vilius demonstrated his skills on clay courts this season, winning the title at the Cordenons Challenger, where he beat Carlos Taberner in the final. The victory gave the 19-year-old Frenchman his fifth career trophy.
Interesting facts for betting
7 of Gaubas' last 10 matches have gone to straight sets.
Current form
Gasquet broke the resistance of Denis Kudla (6-4, 7-5) in the first round of the US Open qualification. Richard served 14 aces, converted four break points and lost two games on his serve in the match against the American.
Professional qualities
Gasquet, despite being 38, still has a solid baseline game. Although he is not as fast as he once was, his one-handed backhand is still a delight and a joy to watch. It has been the Frenchman's signature shot throughout his career.
Current indicators in the tour
Gasquet was once ranked 7th in the world, but is currently ranked 126th. In February, Gasquet reached the final of the Manama Challenger, losing to Mikhail Kukushkin in the final. In addition, on open hard courts this year, Rishal reached the quarterfinals of the Noumea Challenger.
Interesting facts for betting
In 4 of Gasquet's last 5 matches, more than 9.5 games were played in the first set.

1.66Tip and bets
Gasquet certainly has many years of experience on his side, but the 38-year-old veteran's physical condition is not what it used to be. We believe that 19-year-old Gaubas will chase the Frenchman around the court and, perhaps, will be able to cling to a positive handicap.
Our prediction is a victory for Gaubas with a handicap of (+3) games at odds of 1.83
Bet on total
Gaubas and Gasquet have already met each other this season. They played a face-to-face match in the clay challenger in Verona. That meeting was played in three sets with two tie-breaks. We expect that the next meeting between the tennis players will also be a "top" one.
The second betting tip is total over 22 games for odds of 1.84
