Frances Tiafoe Preview – Can American cause a major upset in the fourth round?
This is the sixth appearance in the main draw of the US Open for American Frances Tiafoe.
He had never been past the second round in any of those previous entries. So he has punched above his weight this year.
Tiafoe is ranked at 82nd in the world at the moment. There was really no hint that this run was coming.
He lost his first-round match at the Western & Southern Open, played in the week before the US Open, to Andy Murray.
Before the start of the US Open 2020 Tiafoe has only taken a W2 L6 match record for the 2020 season.
He is the 6/1 underdog for this contest and that is more than reasonable* (odds taken 02:35 GMT, Monday 7th September).
This is going to be some feat if he managed to pull this off, and he has lost his two previous meetings with Daniil Medvedev.
In the first round of this US Open campaign, Tiafoe beat Andreas Seppi in four sets and then needed five sets to get past John Millman.
Things were a little more straight forward for the American against Marton Fucsovics in the third round as he collected a straight-sets victory.
Considering the gulf in class between these two players at the top level then a Medvedev 3-0 option in Set Betting is at 8/11* (odds taken 02:35 GMT, Monday 7th September).
Daniil Medvedev Preview – Plain sailing for Medvedev so far
It has been smooth waters so far for Daniil Medvedev at the US Open 2020 as he hasn’t dropped a set yet.
He has powered past his three opponents, without looking challenged and that will just raise his threat in the overall tournament outright.
With Novak Djokovic having departed the draw at Flushing Meadows, Medvedev is now the 15/8 favourite to collect the title* (odds taken 02:35 GMT, Monday 7th September).
He was last year’s runner up to Rafael Nadal, having put on a tremendous show of quality in that final, but falling just short.
The Russian is increasingly becoming a major threat in the Grand Slam events. He reached the fourth round at the Australian Open earlier this year.
Medvedev is the 1/10 odds-on favourite in the match outright here* (odds taken 02:35 GMT, Monday 7th September).
