Tennis betting tips: US Open Day 3 Predictions for Tuesday August 26

Can Tabilo Disrupt the Rhythm or Will Zverev Stamp His Authority in New York?

• Zverev has a consistent record of advancing past the first round in New York since his debut over a decade ago.
• Tabilo, though out of form this season, has the weapons to challenge top-tier players, especially when his forehand is firing.
• According to the BettingTips4You Expert Rating, Zverev holds a considerable edge in efficiency and baseline control, particularly against left-handers.

Our Tips

Among the standout names stepping onto the court today are Jannik Sinner, Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff, all aiming to commence their campaigns with authoritative wins. While Swiatek and Gauff will command attention on the women’s side, the men’s draw is equally fascinating, not least for the tactical encounters scattered throughout the day.

Matches such as Jaqueline Cristian against Danielle Collins, and Matteo Arnaldi’s showdown with Francisco Cerundolo, each carry unique narratives, as fitness questions and recent form present opportunities for value in the betting markets. Anastasia Zakharova also looks to build on recent momentum against Elina Avanesyan, in a contest that pits one player in strong rhythm against another who has barely found her footing since early spring.

Meanwhile, there is growing curiosity surrounding young talents like Tristan Schoolkate, who takes on the experienced Lorenzo Sonego, and a resurgent Alexei Popyrin facing off against Emil Ruusuvuori—who is returning after a prolonged absence. Also of interest is Hamad Medjedovic’s meeting with Daniel Altmaier, with the Serbian looking to reverse the result from their French Open encounter. On the women’s side, Sonay Kartal will test Beatriz Haddad Maia’s dwindling form, while Leandro Riedi and Pedro Martinez provide a classic clay-versus-hard-court contrast that’s attracting plenty of analytical attention.

Best Bet for Tuesday at the US Open

Alexander Zverev to Win & Both Players to Win a Set – 11/5

Here at BettingTips4You, we focus on providing a single, standout prediction for each day of action. Rather than overwhelming readers with countless options, we believe in offering one carefully considered tip that stands out for its value, logic and accountability. That way, there’s no confusion about where we stand, and our track record is transparent and measurable.

Today’s recommended selection revolves around the clash between Germany’s Alexander Zverev and Chile’s Alejandro Tabilo. The pick: Zverev to win the match, with both players taking at least one set, currently priced at 11/5.

Zverev enters the match with the pedigree and court confidence that make him a consistent presence in the early rounds of Grand Slams. His serve remains a powerful weapon, and his ability to absorb and redirect pace—particularly off his backhand wing—gives him the kind of control that typically dismantles more one-dimensional opponents. That said, there’s reason to believe this won’t be entirely one-way traffic.

Tabilo, while inconsistent this year, retains the kind of explosive shot-making that can take a set off elite opponents when his rhythm clicks. His forehand, in particular, is capable of generating short points, and his comfort on hard courts, shaped by a Canadian upbringing, gives him the tools to exploit any early nerves or lapses in Zverev’s concentration. Analysts have noted that while Zverev usually comes through these openers, he doesn’t always do so in straight sets, and the mental tightness of a first-round match at a Slam can often lead to a dropped set, even in victory.

Thus, a competitive four-set win for Zverev feels entirely plausible—one where he asserts his superiority, but not without conceding a set along the way. This bet offers a stronger return than simply backing Zverev to win, without requiring a major upset.
