LiontipsKruger vs Lehechka. Betting Tip and bets on the match US Open
Command Analysis
Current form
Krueger beat Hugo Grenier (4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-5) in the first round of the US Open. Mitchell served ten aces, converted five break points and lost three games on his serve in the match against the Frenchman. For the American, this was his 27th victory on open hard courts this season, with 11 losses.
Professional qualities
Kruger is not particularly original on the court. Mitchell holds the ball well on the back line - this is what his entire game is built on. The American knows how to attack sharply, but he does it extremely rarely.
Current indicators in the tour
Kruger is currently ranked 179th in the world, although he was once ranked 135th. Mitchell has won two trophies this season - he won open hard courts at two Challengers held in the United States. The American has won nine trophies in his career.

Current form
Lehečka advanced to the second round of the US Open after Marton Fucsovics retired from the match at 6-1, 4-6, 3-6, 0-3. In 2 hours and 20 minutes of play, Jiri hit five aces, converted four break points and lost two games on his serve. For the Czech, it was his 14th victory on open hard courts this season, with seven losses.
Professional qualities
Lehečka is a versatile tennis player who can play on any surface. Last season, Jiri began collaborating with Tomáš Berdych, where he improved his serve and gained confidence in his play on the back line.
Current indicators in the tour
Lehečka was forced to miss several months this season due to a leg injury, which is why he is currently ranked 38th in the world. Jiri has a trophy to his credit this season - he won in Adelaide at the beginning of the year. It was his first ATP title in his career.

Krueger has little experience of playing in such major tournaments as the US Open. Lehechka looks preferable in this pair. Especially since the only face-to-face meeting between the tennis players ended with a victory for Jiri.
Our prediction is Lehechka's victory with a handicap of (-5) games at odds of 1.79
Bet on total
The only face-to-face encounter between the tennis players was played last season in the Winston-Salem tournament and ended in three sets. We expect that the next face-to-face meeting between Kruger and Lehechka will also be a "top-heavy" one.
