At the age of 26, David Goffin is looking for an unprecedented appearance in the US Open 4th round. Known as one of the best counter punchers in the game, Goffin holds an outstanding 68.57% winning record over the last 12 months on Hard Court. Despite his lack of success in recent weeks, David is slowly returning to his best level with a five-set win over Guido Pella in the previous round.
Playing in Flushing Meadows brings great memories to Gael Monfils after reaching the semi-finals in 2016. However, the last months haven’t been easy to Monfils with several physical problems. Adding to this, the 31-year-old was far from impressive in his previous two matches in New York. Looking now at Gael’s campaign on this event, the French reaches this stage of the competition after a 6 – 3 6 – 7 6 – 4 2 – 6 7 – 5 victory against Donald Young.
Despite their unquestionable quality, neither of the two seems to be in their best physical condition. Nevertheless, Goffin ended the match against Pella at a very good level after a slow start. With this in mind, the value is definitely on the Belgian\’s betting odds to win this match at 29/20 at 5Dimes while Gael is available at 33/50 at Pinnacle.
Best Play: David Goffin ML at 29/20 at 5Dimes
Against all expectations, John Millman is the last Australian player remaining in competition at the US Open. Playing on Hard Court brings the best out of Millman with the 28-year-old winning 62.50% of the matches played on that surface over the last 12 months while overall record on other surfaces is only 33.33%. Adding to this, John reaches this stage of the competition after an impressive straight sets win over Malek Jaziri.
Philipp Kohlschreiber continues to pursue a place in the second week of a Grand Slam event since the 2014 US Open. Known as one of the most talented players in the game, Kohlschreiber is going through a great moment in his career with an outstanding 10 – 1 record since his defeat in the opening round of Wimbledon against Marin Cilic.
This should be a very interesting contest between two players who have been playing at a very good level on this event. Despite Millman’s undeniable quality, it won’t be easy for the Australian to overcome such a dangerous player as Kohlschreiber. For that reason, Philipp deserves to be the main favourite to win this match at 9/25 at Coral while Millman is available at 23/10 at William Hill. For those who want to take a higher risk, Kohlschreiber’s -1.5 Set Handicap at 3/4 at SBOBet is also an interesting approach for this encounter.
