Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-5.5) for Khachanov – 1.74.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 35 – 1.71.
Khachanov hasn’t shown much since his return to the hard court, but Kudla is playing even worse. Denis has only 2 wins in his last 10 matches. It is obvious that Denis is in mediocre playing conditions at the moment, so we believe that he will leave the US Open quickly.
They met at the Australian Open this season and played a tight four-set match. This match will be a tightly fought one as well. Khachanov is the favourite, but his recent tournament play is questionable, so Kudla should be able to take at least one set against Karen.
Khachanov has not shown much since his return to the hard court at any tournament he has played. He left Washington at the end of the second round and dropped out in Montreal at the same stage of the competition. In Cincinnati, Karen lost to Sebastian Korda in the first round.
At the same time, for the season, Karen has positive statistics for his performances on the hard courts. At the beginning of the year, he managed to reach the final in Adelaide, in which he lost to Gael Monfils.
In four of Khachanov’s previous 5 matches at the US Open, all five sets have been played.
Kudla has not looked like himself lately, although he has been playing quite well and producing good results in the first half of the season.
For example, in March, Denis won the Challenger in Phoenix, beating Daniel Altmaier in the final. A little later, he reached the final on the Challenger in Surbiton. Denis has only two wins in his last ten matches so far, leaving Montreal and Cincinnati after qualifying in the first round.
Kudla has lost in 7 of his last 10 matches.
In 3 of Kudla’s last 5 matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.65.
