Could This Be the Day the Favourite Gets Pushed to the Limit?

Our Tips

Across the day’s schedule, there is a noticeable split between those who have been gathering momentum in recent weeks and others still seeking to fine-tune their games before the US Open.

Hamad Medjedovic’s clash with Carlos Alcaraz is one of the most anticipated encounters. Both arrive here off contrasting performances in the previous round, and with no prior meetings between them, there is an air of uncertainty about how each will adapt tactically. Elsewhere, Frances Tiafoe faces Ugo Humbert in a battle between aggressive shot-making and controlled baseline rallies, while Arthur Rinderknech takes on Felix Auger-Aliassime in a duel where serve-and-volley may meet all-court counterplay. Adrian Mannarino will try to use his flat, skidding strokes to blunt the dynamism of Tommy Paul, and Gabriel Diallo looks to extend his breakthrough run against the in-form Jannik Sinner.

The conditions are expected to reward big servers and quick first-strike tennis, though those capable of resetting rallies will not be without chances. With so many players arriving here in vastly different rhythms, today’s order of play could easily deliver surprises, long battles, and some key markers for who might be a threat deep into the week.

Best Bet for the Day – Hamad Medjedovic to Win a Set vs Carlos Alcaraz

Here at bettingtips4you, we prioritise precision over quantity, providing just one top selection per event. That way, our readers know exactly where our strongest insight lies, without sifting through multiple picks. It also means we can accurately assess our long-term performance and ensure every recommendation is made with conviction.

Medjedovic’s serving power has been a defining feature of his campaign so far, with only one service break conceded across two matches in Cincinnati. Against Tallon Griekspoor, he delivered heavy groundstrokes and handled pressure moments with maturity, stepping up when faced with set points against him. His ability to produce clutch play in critical games suggests he can avoid being swept aside, even by a player of Alcaraz’s calibre.

Alcaraz’s last match, a laboured three-set win over Damir Dzumhur, exposed moments of inconsistency, particularly against an opponent whose serve lacked the venom Medjedovic possesses. The Serb’s 29 aces across his first two matches highlight just how difficult he is to read on this surface. With this being their first meeting, it may take the Spaniard time to adjust to the pace and placement of the Medjedovic delivery, creating an opening for the underdog to snatch at least one set.

The court speed also tilts slightly in the Serb’s favour, allowing him to shorten points and neutralise Alcaraz’s return skills early in rallies. Given the combination of current form, match-up dynamics, and surface conditions, backing Medjedovic to claim a set feels a calculated play rather than a speculative gamble.
