LiontipsBaez vs Dardery. US Open match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Baez played three matches on North American hard courts ahead of the US Open - he left the Masters in Cincinnati after the second round, and at the start he hung up his racket at the tournament in Winston Salem. On open hard courts this year, Sebastian has four wins and seven losses.
Professional qualities
Baez is a clay court specialist who wins his matches with solid baseline play. Sebastian is not particularly powerful and his serve is average due to his short stature of 1.70 meters.
Current indicators in the tour
Baez is currently ranked 23rd in the world. This season, Sebastian won two clay court tournaments - one after another, he won in Rio de Janeiro and Santiago. The Argentine has won six ATP trophies in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Four of Baez's last five matches on outdoor hard courts have ended in straight sets.
Current form
Dardery played in Winston-Salem last week, where he exited in the first round to David Goffin. He lost to Flavio Cobolli in the second round of the Cincinnati Masters the week before. The Argentine has just one win in six games on outdoor hard courts this season.
Professional qualities
Darderi plays his best on clay. This season, let us recall, he won two titles on this surface. But on hard, things are going badly for Luciano - this year he has only won one victory in six matches on hard. The Italian lacks the power for faster courts.
Current indicators in the tour
Dardery is ranked 37th in the world. The Argentine has two titles to his name this season - he won in Cordoba and won the Challenger, which was held in Perugia. Luciano has six trophies to his name in his career.

1.68Tip and bets
Dardery, with a record of one win on open hard court this season and five losses, is unlikely to count on anything serious at the US Open. Especially since his first-round opponent is Baes, who has the last face-to-face meeting.
Our prediction is a victory for Baez with odds of 1.78
Bet on total
The last face-to-face encounter between the tennis players took place this season at a tournament in Hamburg. That match was played in three sets. Most likely, the next face-to-face meeting between Baez and Dardery will also be a "top-heavy" one.
The second betting tip is total over 37 games for odds of 1.83
Bet on the first set
Three of Dardery's last five matches have seen the first set go to fewer than 9.5 games. Expect Luciano vs. Baez to start with a low first set as well.
Betting Tip - total under 9.5 games in the first set for odds of 2.37
