The headlining act from a British point of view for Today’s Tennis betting tips is going to be Emma Raducanu’s Second Round match.

The action from the US Open trundles on and Raducanu is the match outright favourite to make it through to the Third Round.

We look at the young star’s match against Shuai Zhang and make two other picks for today’s tennis betting.

 

Best Tennis Betting Tips Today: Emma Raducanu v Shaui Zhang

Tennis betting tips today starts with Emma Raducanu’s second-round match from Flushing Meadows.

She looked very confident in her First Round win over Stefanie Voegele.

Despite a wobble of nerves in closing out the match, understandably so, Radaucanu still delivered a 2-0 match win.

That was on her overseas Grand Slam debut.

Raducanu reached the final of a Challenger Chicago event as preparations for the US Open.

Then she got through three rounds of US Open qualification without dropping a set. The form is there.

Earlier this summer, Raducanu did meet Shuai Zhang in San Jose in a hard court match.

Zhang prevailed 2-0. She won her First Round match at this year’s US Open by the same scoreline.

The Chinese player has won three of her last five Second Round matches at the US Open.

But we think there’s a reasonable chance of the tables being turned.

Raducanu looks aggressive and positive.

With debut nerves out of the way, there’s a chance for the young Brit.

Emma Raducanu to win at 5/6

Tennis Betting Picks Today: Ajla Tomljanovic v Petra Martic

Tennis betting for today stays in the women’s draw at the US Open.

Alja Tomljanovic picked up a comfortable 2-0 in the opening round, a pick of form that she needed.

Things haven’t quite been going the way of the Kiwi on the Hard Court recently.

She lost in the Second Round at the Olympics and San Jose, before retiring from her first-round match at WTA Montreal.

Next up for Tomljanovic is Petra Martic who is ranked higher in the world than Tomljanovic.

There has been next to no form from her either since the North American swing of the season came along.

She is W2 L3 in five Hard Court matches.

In the opening round of the US Open, Martic won 2-0 in an easier contest than this.

Martic has won the two previous meetings with Tomljanovic and both of those were on hard court surfaces.

The underdog may be worth a shout.

Martic to win at 11/10

Tennis for Today: Gael Monfils v Steve Johnson

Today’s Tennis betting tips flicks over to the men’s draw for the final pick of the day.

Crowd favourite Gael Monfils is in Second Round action and is favourite in the match tonight for tennis betting in this one.

After a first round exit at the Olympics, Monfils won a couple of matches at both ATP Masters 1000 events in Toronto and Canada.

He opened comfortably with a straight-set victory in the first round of the US Open on Tuesday as well.

Australia’s Steve Johnson did drop a set in his opening round match.

Johnson does have a decent bit of hard court form going, winning 5 of his last eight thanks to a burst of form last month in Washington.

But the head to head says it all for us.

Monfils has won all three previous meetings with Johnson, two of those happening on hard court surfaces as well.

But he did drop a set in each against Johnson, so we are backing the trend to continue.

Monfils 3-1 set betting at 3/1
