US Open August 31st, Tips and Previews
US Open Men's Day 2 Best Bet
August 31st
Andy Murray vs. Stefanos Tsitsipas
Veteran Andy Murray continues his sojourn into the twilight of his career as he prepares to face French Open finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas in Round 1.
Murray eased his through the lead-up tournaments and, while he could only manage Round of 32 finishes at both the Cincinnati Masters and Winston-Salem Open, he has shown good form this season.
His 23-year-old Greek opponent reached the semi-finals of the Canadian Open and the Cincinnati Masters in a sign that he is in good nick head into another grand slam.
Interestingly, both men are yet to face each other in a professional ATP match.
Murray has the experience on his side and will have a point to prove with his flat, hard-hitting style that might trouble the number three ranked player in the world.
Tsitsipas is in the best form of his career and should win, but Murray can take this to four or even five sets.

Total games over 36.5 at $1.90

US Open Women's Day 2 Best Bet
August 31st
Ash Barty vs. Vera Zvonareva
If a Wimbledon crown was enough for Ash Barty in the approach to her tilt at a maiden US Open crown then the Cincinnati Masters capped off what has been a spectacular two months for our Australian queen.
The world number one will face a tricky test first-up when goes against Russian veteran Vera Zvonareva.
At the age of 36, Zvonaerva has saved herself for what is likely to be one of her last grand slam tournaments.
She pulled out of the Cleveland Championships after defeating Ulrikke Eikeri in the Round of 32.
This is the first time the two ladies will duel against each other and this should be a straight sets victory to Barty who is in irresistible form.
Belinda Bencic vs. Martina Trevisan
Olympic gold medal champion Belinda Bencic looks to continue her winning form when she faces Martina Trevisan.
The 24-year-old Swiss looked dominant when winning gold at Tokyo and followed it up with a quarter-final finish at Cincinnati a week ago.
Trevisan, meanwhile, was bundled out of the Cleveland Champions in the Round of 32 and that form is no where good enough to challenge Bencic here.
SUGGESTED BET:
Multi bet - Ash Barty 2-0 into Belinda Bencic 2-0 at $1.80
- Suggested Mega Day 2 Women's Multi:
- Leg 1: A. Barty 2-0 vs. V. Zvonareva
- Leg 2: B. Bencic 2-0 vs. M. Trevisan
- Leg 3: M. Sakkari head to head vs. M. Kostyuk
- Combined odds = $2.32
