Felix Auger Aliassime Preview – Can young Canadian take his chance?
Canada’s Felix Auger Aliassime was handed a little bit of a boost in the Quarter Finals on Tuesday.
He faced young Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz who had stunningly eliminated third seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Third Round.
But Alcaraz retired early in the second set of his Quarter Final against Auger Aliassime.
So that will help Auger Aliassime with energy levels, having spent such a short time on the court.
In the match outright for US Open tennis betting, however, Felix Auger Aliassime is the big 4/1 underdog* (odds taken 17:48 GMT on September 8th 2021 at Betfair)
Earlier this year, the young Canadian recorded his best-ever Grand Slam finish.
He took a Quarter Final place at Wimbledon.
So now he has immediately gone at least one stage better by hitting the final four in New York.
The previous best effort that Auger Aliassime came up with at the US Open, was a Fourth Round finish twelve months ago.
Felix Auger Aliassime just has the look of being a future Grand Slam champion, can it come as early as this year?
He has, incidentally, yet to win an ATP Tour title.
Just before the US Open, he reached the Quarter Finals at the Western & Southern Open but had been struggling on the hard court a little bit before that.
Auger Aliassime looks to be back in the groove. But this hasn’t been a clean run for the Quarter Finals from him.
The 12th seed has dropped a set in three of his four completed matches, so has had some gruelling tests.
It means that his defensive side has been shown up.
This is going to be a tough one for him.
In US Open tennis betting Under 35.5 Games is at 5/6 odds* (odds taken 17:48 GMT on September 8th 2021 at Betfair).
Daniil Medvedev Preview – Medvedev to get back to the Final?
In 2019 at the US Open, Russia’s Daniil Medvedev reached his first Grand Slam Final.
He couldn’t get across the line, however, as he was beaten to the title by Rafael Nadal.
Last year, he lost at this semi-final stage.
But he’s a clear threat and is the second seed for the 2021 US Open.
In the match outright for tennis betting, Medvedev is at 1/6 odds on* (odds taken 17:48 GMT on September 8th 2021 at Betfair).
He has not really been under any kind of pressure at the tournament this year.
There has been only one set dropped by him, which was in his Quarter Final match against qualifier Botic van de Zandschulp.
Medvedev just looks very sharp right now and the title at Flushing Meadows could well be within reach.
