US Open Day 8 Betting Tips: Three bets for Monday's action

The first week of the US Open is officially over, now we're down to the round of 16 on both the men's and women's sides.

Tennis tipster Max Saakyan looks ahead to the action on Day 8, honing in on Britain's final hope in the singles: Jack Draper.

The first match we'll look at is Jack Draper taking on Andrey Rublev.

The Brit has played some stellar tennis in New York, winning his first two matches in straight sets, then he beat Michael Mmoh comfortably in four sets in the third round.

This is the furthest he's ever been at a Grand Slam, and has always struggled in these Best-of-Five formats. His fatigue and struggle with humid weather has seen him retire many times.

With this being said, I think if Draper is to win, he’ll need to get it done quickly. I can’t see him winning in five sets, and the odds on him winning by two sets or more is showing great value.

Draper can be backed at 12/5 to win the match and is 4/1 at -1.5 Sets.

The second match-up looks intriguing as Alexander Zverev takeson Jannik Sinner.

Both players have looked really convincing, and the Italian will be hoping he can reach his previous best run from last year when he reached the quarter-finals, before losing out to Carlos Alcaraz.

Zverev, on the other hand, has gone on a couple of deep runs at the US Open.

In 2020, he made the final where he was two sets up against Dominic Thiem.

A year later, he made the semi-finals before losing to Novak Djokovic who eventually won the title.

The over games here seem to offer great value, as both players are serving exceptionally well, indicating the likelihood of tightly contested sets, with Over 39.5 Games available at 87/100 with UniBet.
