Regardless of this Friday’s outcome, Juan Martin Del Potro already secured his return to the top 25 for the first time since October 2014. Known as one of the most dangerous player on the ATP World Tour, the Argentinean giant reaches this stage of the competition after a shock win over Roger Federer. Nevertheless, the 36-year-old Swiss was far from his best with too many unforced errors on pressure points.
Rafael Nadal continues his impressive run in Flushing Meadows. Despite slow start, the two-time US Open champion didn’t drop a single set on the last two rounds against Alexandr Dolgopolov and Andrey Rublev. Famous for his exceptional return to serve, Nadal won 54.87% of the points on Rublev’s serve in the quarter-finals. On the other hand, the Spaniard only allowed one break of serve to his opponent in the previous round.
Despite Del Potro’s brilliant win over Federer in the quarter-finals, Nadal is a completely different match-up. With this in mind, it’s not surprising to see the Spaniard as the main favourite to win this match at 9/25 at Pinnacle while Del Potro is available at 5/2 at BetVictor. Due to the low price on Nadal’s moneyline, our suggestion is for you to place a bet on his -1.5 Set Handicap at 3/4 at SBOBet.

Against all expectations, Pablo Carreno Busta reached his first Grand Slam semi-finals at the US Open. Adding to this, the 26-year-old didn’t drop a single set so far on his successful campaign in Flushing Meadows. Considering now Pablo’s numbers on this event, the highlight definitely goes to his performance on pressure points. Besides winning 75.70% of the points when facing break points, Carreno Busta converted 59.50% of his break point chances.
Playing in New York City brings the best out of Kevin Anderson. Known as one of the best servers on the ATP World Tour, the fast court conditions at the US Open are perfect for Anderson’s powerful serve. Adding to this, the South-African holds an outstanding 11 – 2 record on his last three appearances in Flushing Meadows. Taking a look now at Anderson’s campaign on this event, the 31-year-old reaches this stage of the competition after a four-set victory over Sam Querrey.
This should be an exciting contest between two players who are looking for their first Grand Slam final. Even though we agree with Kevin’s favouritism, it’s impossible to find any value on his current price at 2/5 at William Hill. On the other hand, 5Dimes offers 11/5 for Carreno Busta’s victory. Besides the value on Pablo’s betting odds, placing a bet on the Over 39 at 4/5 at Pinnacle is also a great betting approach for this encounter.
