LiontipsKecmanovic vs Musetti. US Open match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Kecmanovic took revenge for his recent defeat to Nishioka at the tournament in Cincinnati. At the US Open, the Serbian looked much better. He terrorized the small Japanese with his powerful blows. Yoshihito could not stand it and got injured. At the beginning of the fifth set, the "samurai" gave up the fight.
Professional qualities
Kecmanovic was predicted to be Djokovic's successor, but he never became one. The Serb was hampered by instability and lack of character. Miomir cannot be called a fighter. He does not always demonstrate his best qualities and loses the game to his opponents.
Current indicators in the tour
Kecmanovic has traditionally performed well on hard courts, but not this season. In 2024, Miomir has 12 losses in 21 matches on this surface. Because of these results, he fell outside the top 50 and is currently ranked 54th in the world.
Interesting facts for betting
As a rule, Kecmanovic loses to the tennis elite at the Majors. In 20 matches against players from the top 20, he won only one victory. In all this time, he has not found a countermeasure against the actions of top tennis players.
Current form
Musetti has improved greatly in recent times. At Wimbledon, the Italian representative reached the semifinals, and at the Olympics, he won a bronze medal. At the US Open, Lorenzo is considered one of the main contenders for victory. He confirmed his status with a confident game in the first round, when he defeated Reilly Opelka in four sets.
Professional qualities
Previously, Musetti lacked the strength to successfully play on hard, but after his confident performance at Wimbledon, we can say that Lorenzo is ready for this. Musetti has significantly improved his physical condition and has become less prone to injuries.
Current indicators in the tour
Musetti's recent success has moved him up to 18th in the world rankings. However, this is not his best result, as he was once ranked 15th in the world. If Lorenzo performs well at the US Open, he will significantly improve his position.
Interesting facts for betting
Musetti has been successful in matches against players outside the top 50. At the Majors, for example, he has won 83% of such matches.

We believe that he will not be able to force a fight on the Italian and Miomir will easily give him the victory.
