ATP US Open 1/32-Finals
Lehecka – Etcheverry: 28.08.2025 17:00 CEST
H2H: 1-2
Jiri Lehecka has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Cincinnati, Shelton outlasted Lehecka in the 1/8-Finals. Last season in New York, the Czech lost to Rublev in the third round in straight sets. This will be his fifth appearance at the US Open. In the opening round, Lehecka defeated Coric in four sets.
Tomas Martin Etcheverry has won three of his last five matches. This week in New York, the Argentine defeated Ugo Carabelli in straight sets. Besides losing his serve once, Etcheverry served well throughout the match.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Lehecka is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Etcheverry is a clay-court specialist. However, Lehecka is a stronger hard-court player and is likely to dominate in this matchup.
That being said, Lehecka covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Jiri Lehecka -5.5 games handicap @1.91 @bet365
Djokovic – Svajda: 27.08.2025 17:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Novak Djokovic has won four of his last five matches. His last match before the US Open was at Wimbledon, where he lost to Sinner in the semifinals in straight sets. He has won the US Open four times already. This week, the Serb defeated Tien in the opening round in straight sets.
Zachary Svajda has won four of his last five matches. This week in New York, the American qualified for the main draw tournament by winning all qualifying matches in straight sets. In the opening main draw round, Svajda defeated Piros in straight sets as well.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Djokovic is the heavy favourite in this matchup, and we agree. His experience and skill set are way above Svajda’s. We expect Djokovic to dominate and win easily.
That being said, Djokovic covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Novak Djokovic -7.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365
Collignon – Ruud: 27.08.2025 18:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Raphael Collignon has won three of his last five matches. This week in New York, Collignon won against Galan in straight sets. He was great under pressure, saving five out of six breakpoints.
Casper Ruud has won three of his last five matches. The last match he played before the US Open was in Cincinnati, where Rinderknech upset him in the opening match. Ruud was the finalist here in 2022. This week, Ruud defeated Ofner in the opening round in straight sets. Last season, Ruud lost against Fritz in the fourth round in four sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Ruud is the heavy favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He demolished Ofner in the opening round and enjoys playing in New York. We expect him to dominate and win easily tonight.
That being said, Ruud covering the games handicap is a value bet.
