LiontipsVarvara Gracheva vs. Cori Gauff. US Open match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Gracheva has been performing with considerable ups and downs both throughout the season and at hard pre-Slam tournaments. Varvara had a quality tournament in Cincinnati, where she qualified, made it to the second round of the main draw and even won a set against Swiatek (0-6, 7-6, 2-6). At the same time, in Cleveland, the representative of France lost at the start to the far from formidable Busas Maneiro (6-4, 3-6, 2-6).
Professional qualities
Gracheva's tennis is quite straightforward - at the first opportunity she tries to hit hard with her forehand. It is easy to adapt to this style of play, especially since Varvara is not at all impressive in other components, and is not distinguished by stability.
Current indicators in the tour
Throughout the season, Gracheva played mostly on clay. On open hard, she has negative statistics - 7 wins and 10 losses. In the world ranking, Varvara occupies only 66th place.
Interesting facts for betting
Only one of Gracheva's last five matches saw more than nine games played in the second set
Current form
Gauff is the current winner of the US Open and is clearly betting on defending serious ranking points. At the same time, the prerequisites for a second consecutive title in New York are not the most serious. The thing is that Cori has failed the last hard tournaments. In Toronto, she lost to Schneider in the second match (4-6, 1-6), and in Cincinnati she did not cope with Putintseva at the start (4-6, 6-2, 4-6).
Professional qualities
Gauff covers almost the entire court thanks to her speed and ability to move quickly. She has a decent backhand in her arsenal, and with the support of the fans, she is able to catch the courage and drag literally all the balls on the back line.
Current indicators in the tour
Gauff has a solid 38 wins and 14 losses this season and is third in the world rankings. However, not long ago she was the world's second racket, but she lost this position due to her recent failures. It should be noted that exactly half of her 14 losses were on open hard courts.
Interesting facts for betting
A year ago, on her way to the title in New York, Gauff played seven matches and lost sets in four of them

1.90Tip and bets
After unsuccessful performances in Toronto and Cincinnati , Gauff will clearly aim not just to win today, but to do it as confidently as possible. The opponent is suitable for this. Gracheva does not have a strong enough serve in her arsenal, she plays quite straightforwardly. At the beginning of the year in Oakland, Cory crushed Varvara with a score of 6-1, 6-1, which we do not exclude today in New York.
Our prediction is Gauff's victory with a handicap of (-6.5) games with odds of 1.80
Bet on total
In the main betting tip, we expect the favorite to win today without problems. It is unlikely that without a more or less stable serve, Grachev will be able to score at least seven games.
The second bet is total under 19 games for 1.58
Bet on the first set
There may be some intrigue at the start, given Gauff's statistics. In the American's four previous matches, more than nine games were played in the first set.
