Dan Evans Preview – Can Evans upset top Russian?
Dan Evans has finally done it, he has broken through the Third Round barrier at the US Open for the first time.
This is just the second time in his career that he has been to the Fourth Round of any Slam.
After back to back 3-1 success in the first two rounds of action at the US Open 2021, Evans went up against Australia’s Alexei Popyrin in the Third Round.
Evans was in big trouble at 2-0 down in the match but found some renewed energy from somewhere.
After levelling up the match, Evans again had to go to the well to find energy in the final set tiebreak.
Evans got the tie-breaker done 7-1 to move through.
That was an exhaustingly long match for the Brit however, the last thing he needed ahead of facing Medvedev.
In the match outright for tennis betting, Evans is a quote of 10/1 to pull off what would be a seismic upset* (odds taken 19:55 GMT on 4th September 2021 at 888sport)t.
Evans had his summer badly disrupted by injury and health issues, even forcing him to miss the Olympics.
So this run has been a very welcome return to form for him.
But all that extra time on court so far at Flushing meadows has to pile up against him in having to take on the Number 2 seed.
Evans is going to be under immense pressure and Under 29.5 Games, supporting a comfortable win for Medvedev is at 4/5* (odds taken 19:55 GMT on 4th September 2021 at 888sport).
You imagine that Evans has to come up with a strong start from somewhere.

So far at the US Open 2021, Daniil Medvedev has been in top form, pretty much unplayable.
He has raced through all three of his matches. Medvedev hasn’t dropped more than eight games in a match so far.
In the last round, he powered past Pablo Andujar 6-0 6-4 6-3 at an absolute canter.
In the match outright for tennis betting, the win for Medvedev is at a quote of 1/20 odds-on* (odds taken 19:55 GMT on 4th September 2021 at 888sport).
Will this be just as easy for him?
Without question, along with being the better player of the two, he has much fresher legs.
This will be the first meeting between Evans and Medvedev.
