17.30: Hubert Hurkacz v Egor Gerasimov – Tie Break in Match (Yes)

This looks like a straightforward encounter which will likely see Hubert Hurkacz brush Egor Gerasimov aside easily. The value here seems to be a Tie Break in the match. Hurkacz’s last three matches have featured four Tie Breaks in seven sets of tennis and similarly Gerasimov’s last two matches with five sets of tennis featured three Tie Breaks. Gerasimov will look to settle into the match by holding serve and will find it tough to break the serve of Hurkacz.

20.00: Sebastian Korda v Nikoloz Basilashvili – S Korda 3-0 Set Betting

The up and coming Seb Korda will look to make a statement on home soil in the first round against Nikoloz Basilashvili. Korda has been holding his form well since Wimbledon and has bumped into Jannik Sinner and Stefanos Tsitsipas in his last two tournaments. It is time for Korda to show the world of tennis just how good he is and can be and there is no better place to do so than at his home slam. A straight sets win looks value.

17.00: Alexander Zverev v Sam Querrey – Zverev -7.5 Game Handicap

There’s no hotter player on tour at the moment than Alexander Zverev. The Olympic champion is playing some fine tennis. He only dropped one set en route to winning Cincinnati and dropped one set in Tokyo also. He looks the biggest threat to Novak Djokovic and will look to continue to ride the wave he is on at present. It’s four tournaments since Sam Querrey won a first-round and it doesn’t look at all likely here that he will bounce back to form. Zverev should win in straight sets and is value to cover the -7.5 game handicap.
