LiontipsCherundolo vs Ofner. US Open match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Cerundolo played only two matches on North American hard courts ahead of the US Open - following the opening match, he left first the Masters in Cincinnati, and then the competition in Winston-Salem. On open hard courts, Francisco has only three wins and eight losses this season.
Professional qualities
Cerundolo is a specialized clay court and it is on this surface that the Argentine feels most comfortable. Francisco has a strained relationship with hard courts - this season he has won only 3 victories in 11 games on hard courts.

Interesting facts for betting
Cerundolo has won just three of his 11 matches on outdoor hard courts this year.
Current form
Ofner last took to the court in an official match at the Paris Olympics. As a reminder, Sebastian hung up his racket at the end of the second round of the Olympic Games. This season, the Austrian has six wins and seven losses on open hard courts.
Professional qualities
Ofner has a powerful serve. His height of 1.91 meters allows him to put the ball into play well. However, in terms of mobility on the tennis court, Sebastian is inferior to many of his opponents.

Three of Ofner's last five matches have seen the first set go to fewer than 9.5 games. We expect Sebastian's upcoming match against Cherundolo to also start with a low first set.
