LiontipsShevchenko vs. Tiafoe. Betting Tip and bets on the match US Open
Command Analysis
Current form
The US Open ended Shevchenko's losing streak, which consisted of five matches. The last time the representative of Kazakhstan won was at the tournament in Hamburg, when he dealt with Rudolf Molleker in three sets. However, at the US Open, Alexander managed to show a good game. This time he defeated another German tennis player - Dominik Koepfer.
Professional qualities
Despite his short stature, Shevchenko can boast a good serve and powerful strikes. Thanks to these components, the representative of Kazakhstan occupies a place in the middle of the first hundred of the world ranking. Alexander's weaknesses include instability in the game on the back line.
Current indicators in the tour
Last season Shevchenko won almost 50 matches, but now his results are not so bright. So far his balance of victories and defeats is negative - 17:29. Despite this, in the world ranking he is in 61st place.
Interesting facts for betting
For the second time this season, Shevchenko reached the second round of a Major. Before that, he pulled off something similar at Roland Garros. On fast surfaces, Alexander looks unconvincing, so it is unlikely that this tennis player will succeed.
Current form
Tiafoe made a splash in two tournaments before the US Open. In Washington, the US representative reached the semifinals, and in Cincinnati, he played in the decisive match. However, Francis failed to become champion, as he lost to Jannik Sinner.
At the US Open, Tiafoe also started with a confident victory, defeating Alexander Kovacevic in four sets.
Professional qualities
Tiafoe is an athletic and powerful tennis player with a great serve and solid shots. He does not always prepare for matches seriously, so sometimes he demonstrates extremely inconsistent play. However, with the right attitude, he can make life difficult for many top opponents.
Current indicators in the tour
Tiafoe has no championship titles in 2024. In addition to the final in Cincinnati, he also played at a similar stage in Houston. Despite all the failures, Francis is ranked 20th in the world.
Interesting facts for betting
The US representative performs well at the Majors. He finds it very easy to fight opponents who are outside the top 50. He beats such opponents in 90% of cases.
