Regardless of this Sunday’s outcome, Diego Schwartzman already secured his career-high ranking with an unprecedented appearance in the top 30. Even though Diego is far from a Hard Court expert, the 25-year-old holds an outstanding 75.00% winning record in the US Open Series. Nevertheless, Schwartzman’s serve is a major liability with the Argentinean winning only 77.60% of his service games on this event.
Playing on the big stages brings the best out of Lucas Pouille with an incredible 14 – 5 record in his last five appearances on majors. After so many withdrawals and early upsets, Lucas knows that this is a great opportunity for him to reach his first Grand Slam final. Taking a look now at Pouille’s campaign on this tournament, the 23-year-old reaches this stage of the competition after a four-set win over Marin Cilic.
Despite Diego’s brilliant campaign in Flushing Meadows, it’s hard to ignore the Argentinean’s poor numbers on serve. On the other hand, Pouille is the most experienced of the two on the big events. Therefore, the value is definitely on the French’s betting odds at 83/100 at Pinnacle while William Hill offers 11/10 for Schwartzman’s victory.
Best Play: Lucas Pouille ML at 83/100 at Pinnacle
Against all expectations, Mischa is the last Zverev standing in competition after Alexander’s surprising defeat against Borna Coric in the second round. Known as one of the few serve & volley players in the game, the 30-year-old is always a dangerous opponent. Adding to this, Zverev pulled off a major upset in the previous round with a straight sets win over John Isner.
The world no.21 – Sam Querrey – is trying to become the first American player to reach the US Open final since Andy Roddick in 2006. At the age of 29, Querrey is going through the best moment in his career with two ATP World Tour titles this season and his first ever appearance in the semi-finals of a Grand Slam event in Wimbledon. Moreover, the American is enjoying great success on this event with an impressive average of 1.00 ace per service game.
As mentioned above, Mischa is always a tough match-up with his serve & volley game style. Nevertheless, the 29-year-old American is playing some of his best tennis ever and it won’t be easy for Zverev to break his serve. With this in mind, Querrey is the man favourite to win this match at 1/2 at Pinnacle while the German is available at 7/4 at Bet365. For those who want take a higher risk, Sam’s -1.5 Set Handicap at 97/100 at SBOBet is also a great approach for this encounter.
