LiontipsKaratsev vs Polmans. US Open match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Karatsev beat Enzo Coco (6-3, 6-1) in the first round of US Open qualification. In the match against the Frenchman, Aslan hit three aces, converted five break points and lost one game on his serve. For the Russian, this was the third victory on open hard courts this season with five losses.
Professional qualities
Karatsev is not particularly stable. Over the past two years, Aslan has lost his form and it is difficult to predict how his upcoming matches will go. The Russian still serves well and hits well with his forehand, but there is no consistency in his game.
Current indicators in the tour
Karatsev was in the top 20 in the world rankings two years ago, but now he has dropped to 99th place due to a knee injury. This season, the Russian is just returning to action after an injury, so he has not yet had any special results this year. Karatsev has won 13 titles in his career, three of which are ATP titles.
Interesting facts for betting
This season, Karatsev has not reached further than the second round in any tournament.
Current form
Polmans won the first round of the US Open qualification against Matteo Martino (6-1, 6-1). Mark converted five break points in the match against the Italian and did not lose a single game on his serve. For the Australian, this was the seventh victory on open hard courts this season with 12 losses.
Professional qualities
Polmans is from Australia, which means he likes to play on hard courts. It is difficult to single out any particular features in Mark's game. Polmans is a solid middling player who fights for every ball. His serve, forehand and backhand are not at the highest level.
Current indicators in the tour
Polmans has never been in the top 100 of the world rankings in his career. Now Mark is outside the top 200. This season, the Australian has played a quarterfinal at his home tournament in Burnie and a semifinal on clay in Sarasota. Polmans has won 13 trophies in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Polmans has only played in the main draw of the US Open once in his career.

2.32Tip and bets
Karatsev quite unexpectedly beat Coco in two sets in the first round of qualification. It looks like Aslan is set to get into the main draw of the US Open. We expect that the Russian will deal with Polmans as easily as he did with the Frenchman.
Our prediction is Karatsev's victory with a handicap of (-4) games for odds of 1.82
Bet on total
Karatsev won the opening match in the qualification against a rather difficult opponent in two sets. We believe that the Russian will also win the next match in the US Open qualification with a comfortable score for himself.
The second betting tip is total under 22 games with odds of 1.89
Bet on the first set
Three of Polmans' last five matches have seen the first set go to fewer than 9.5 games. We expect Mark's upcoming encounter with Karatsev to also start with a low-scoring first set.
