Our pick: Krueger M. – Lehecka J.: More than 3.5 sets

28.08.2024 17:00

Jiri Lehecka is a strong favourite for the US Open second round match against home team Mitchell Krueger. However, he said after his match with Marton Fucsovics that he expects a rather tough match and a long battle, as Krueger is a specialist on hard surfaces and he plays on home soil.

Vít Kopřiva has already felt the American’s qualities in the qualification round, when he lost twice 3:6 to Krueger in the opening round of the main competition. Subsequently, Krueger managed to win two more matches and advance to the main tournament, where he defeated Frenchman Hugo Grenier in the opening round.

Lehecka is well aware of the qualities his upcoming opponent possesses. Despite the fact that he is ranked only in the second 100 in the world. But as the Czech tennis player aptly noted, Krueger traditionally manages to embarrass the favourites at home tournaments in the United States and is playing much better tennis than he should given his ranking.

What to bet on:

There is no need to speculate that Jiří Lehečka is a big favourite to advance to the third round. Krueger, however, will not sell his skin cheap. A bet on a higher number of games or, for example, that at least four sets will be played can be recommended.

Confidence:

7/10
