Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+5) for Johnson – 1.57.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 37 – 1.80.
Dimitrov is not the best preparation for the US Open. It is about the physical condition of Grigor. He has failed in the last few tournaments and last week he did not complete his first-round match in Winston-Salem due to poor health. We believe that Johnson has a good chance of reaching the second round of the US Open.
Almost all personal meetings between the tennis players have been tightly fought, so we expect it in the upcoming encounter as well.
Dimitrov’s current playing conditions are questionable, as he has not been able to get past the second round at any tournament since his return to the hard court.
In Winston-Salem, Grigor did not even manage to complete his opening match against Dominic Thiem, complaining of a sore leg. It is therefore difficult to judge Dimitrov’s readiness for the US Open. He left the US Open last season after a second-round match in which he lost to Alexey Popyrin.
Dimitrov has lost 5 of his last 6 matches in the United States.
Johnson only managed a decent performance ahead of the US Open in Los Cabos, where he managed to reach the quarter-finals.
In Cincinnati, Johnson failed in qualification and then reached the third round in Winston-Salem where he lost to Richard Gasquet. Last year, Johnson left the US Open in the second round where he lost to Gaеl Monfils.
Johnson has lost 7 of his last 8 matches as an underdog.
In 3 of Johnson’s last 5 matches, less than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 2.15.
