Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+4) for Cerundolo – 1.63.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 38 – 1.81.
Cerundolo plays aggressive tennis. Even on the hard court, he can cause problems for Murray. It is very likely that this meeting will not be easy for Murray.
It is unlikely that the encounter between Cerundolo and Murray will end quickly. Andy is currently too unstable, especially at the Grand Slam tournaments. Andy has failed to score a convincing win at any of the Majors this season. It is very likely that his encounter with Cerundolo will also be a long one.
Cerundolo made it to the main draw of the US Open for the first time in his career.
He didn’t even have to qualify. Thanks to his recent success, Francisco is ranked 27th.
In mid-July, Cerundolo won the tournament in Bostad. There, he defeated Casper Ruud, Aslan Karatsev, Pablo Carreno-Busta and Sebastian Baez.
Right after that, he reached the semi-finals in Hamburg. Here’s most significant achievement was beating Andrey Rublev in the second round.
That was on clay. On hard court, Cerundolo is not as successful after all. He lost immediately in Montreal to Karen Khachanov, and in Cincinnati, he lost to Roberto Bautista-Agut.
That said, Murray must have noticed that Cerundolo sensationally reached the semi-finals in Miami in the spring.
Cerundolo has lost four meetings in a row at Grand Slam tournaments.
Murray, meanwhile, has not been very convincing in recent tournaments in North America.
Despite his best efforts, Andy is still far from always able to play at a high level, also because of his physical condition.
At the Washington tournament, Murray lost in his first match to Mikael Ymer. Mikael took the third set 6-1.
In Montreal, the former world #1 lost by a resounding score to Taylor Fritz.
In Winston-Salem, Murray struggled to defeat Stan Wawrinka before losing to Cameron Norrie.
Murray won the US Open in the 2012 season.
Murray has had at least 4 sets in 5 of his past 6 games at the US Open.
In 4 of Murray’s last 5 matches, no tie-break has been played. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – No” with odds of 2.02.
