Tip and bets
Medvedev was lucky with the draw. He didn't have difficult opponents yet. It is likely that he will win this round in three sets, as well. Not only is Medvedev a stronger tennis player, but van de Zandschulp must be quite tired by now: he has already spent over 19 hours on the courts of New York at the current Major.
Our prediction - handicap (-9) games to Medvedev.
Van de Zandschulp is having a solid tournament. He defeated Ruud and Schwartzman, which speaks of his excellent form. But he spent too much energy in the previous matches and we don't believe that he can put up a fight against Medvedev. The Russian tennis player should get a three-set win.
Second wager - total under 29 games.
