Done Deal: Jannik Sinner Has Signed Four Year Contract With…………………….read more.
Alejandro Tabilo has faced a tough stretch, losing three of his last five matches. Two weeks ago in Cincinnati, he was defeated in the first round by Darderi in straight sets. A week earlier in Montreal, Tabilo made it to the Round of 16 but was again beaten in straight sets, this time by Sinner. The Chilean is aiming for a strong performance at the Grand Slam level to break into the top 20 rankings. He’s been consistent throughout this season. However, last year in New York, Tabilo fell in the first qualifying round to Millman, also in straight sets.
3David Goffin, on the other hand, has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Winston-Salem, he advanced to the semifinals before losing to Sonego in straight sets. A week earlier, Goffin also reached the semifinals at a Challenger tournament in Cary. These recent performances have boosted Goffin’s confidence heading into the US Open. Last year, however, he was knocked out in the first qualifying round by Novak.
**Best Bet Recommendation**
Bookmakers see this match as a 50-50 contest. Alejandro is currently the stronger player on hard courts compared to Goffin, though his lack of experience at the highest level could be a concern. Still, we believe Tabilo will prevail against Goffin, making his victory a valuable bet.
Jannik Sinner is on a five-match winning streak. Last week, he captured the title in Cincinnati, defeating Tiafoe in the final after beating top players like Rublev and Zverev along the way. Entering this tournament, the world number one is one of the top favorites. However, a recent failed drug test could weigh on him mentally. Last year in New York, Sinner was eliminated in the fourth round by Zverev after a grueling five-set match.
Mackenzie McDonald has won three of his last five matches but failed to qualify for the main draw in Cincinnati last week. This season has been inconsistent for McDonald, causing him to drop out of the top 100 rankings. He has struggled at the Grand Slam level, with no wins so far this year, and has managed just one main-draw tour-level victory all season. His best results have come on the Challenger Tour. Last year in New York, McDonald reached the second round but was defeated by Gojo in straight sets.
**Best Bet Recommendation**
Bookmakers consider Sinner the heavy favorite in this matchup. While we expect Sinner to win, McDonald is a dangerous opponent, especially on home soil. Given the pressure on Sinner due to his recent failed drug test, he might be more nervous, which could keep the match close. Meanwhile, McDonald, with no pressure on him, might make it a tight contest.
