This USO will be remembered as the edition where the big 4 finally lost their grip.

I just love Caro Garcia, the best social media name of all pro athletes outthere. #Flywithcaro and we should fly with her.

The Tiafoe from last match should show up which is only his usual self but in that last match the Nadal from all his great achievements didn't show up and that happens from time to time and I was expecting Nadal to go out in this edtion of USO sooner or later and it came sooner. So no big surprises there but I would be surprised if Tiafoe gets an equally turned off opponent again this time. Because Nadal has been turned off in winning mood since he won RG this summer. Don't think Wimby helped him much either to achieve something big yet again this season and I don't expect much from Nadal for the rest of this season. It did defenitely help Tiafoe to get the win in round 4 when facing a Nadal who wasn't really up for the task. Ever since this tournament started Nadal has been playing bad period.

I really think Francis Tiafoe has a very good chance to beat Nadal. The man is ridiculously strong, and I think working with Wayne Ferreria has helped him a lot. Now it is just a question of belief. I think he may fall just short, but should take a set, which probably wins you the +6.5 handciap bet.
For the rest, I think the card is brutal today. Just one to watch and maybe take an in play bet.
I think Karolina Pliskova is going to beat Azarenka. My big indicator is just how well she did in the Canadian open, beating Kejcikova, Anismova, Sakkari. I think the 1st strike, power tennis, is not an opponent style that suites Azarenka. She may get blown off the court in a stop-start no rhythm type match. Azarenka also has not played that much, cancelled in Canada, Lost 2nd match in Cinicinnati and then against 3 weak opponents that really suited her style in US open.

Just watched a simulated match between André Agassi and Carsten Ball. These two played at the same time for a short period but never met in reality. Ball was cruising in first set serving for the set at 5-2.
However off to something real now...
Have seen Carlitos play this USO and he's explosive like no other player this USO and it's gonna take a lot to convince me that he wont reach the final beating Nadal in the semi.

I didn't like her too much either @four-leaf, hopefully it comes in for you. Losing a set against Krueger is certainly not a sign of good form!

Marta Kostyuk to beat Vika at 2.25 with Betfair
I don't like Azarenka at all nowadays so this is more a bet against her.

However I'll be going for the following.
Nadal -9.5 games over Rinky Hijikata at 1.86
Borna Coric -7.5 games v Enzo who? at 2.00
Ashlyn Krueger +6.5 games at 1.60
Acca at 5.95 all with Unibet

First thought: Ashlyn Krueger to beat Vika at 7.00 with Betsafe, somehow I feel that Vika might play her last match at Flushing Meadows tonight.
Second thought: Borna Coric -7.5 games at 2.00 with Unibet
Enzo who?

To qualify for the final: Borna Coric at 15.00 with Betsafe
Can beat both Alcaraz and Nadal in an eventual clash. Will be all up to him. If he turns up playing like in Cincy and how he's done throughout his career I'm nailed on this bet to come in.

I would be careful with the Coric bet. Enzo could keep it closer than that.

Yeh I decided against it, just as well. Thankfully my Bonzi bet came in although he made hard work of it. 

tsitsipas getting destroyed by galan out of all people might be the weirdest thing I ve seen since I ve started watching tennis

Well, what a day one it was!
Tsitsipas and Fritz must've demolished plenty of those low-priced accas that so many casual bettors love. 
On the women's side, we had Halep falling to Snigur and Trevisan losing against Rodina, who hasn't played for god knows how long.

Cachin figures mainly on clay and lacks the experience that Bedene has from his years as an eatablished ATP player and hard is not Cachins best surface as it is clay he plays on.
Aljaz Bedene to beat Pedro Cachin at 2.20 with Betsafe

Three more first round bets that I have found of interest and other than following my fellow wise Tennis tipsters on here that will do me fine for the tournament.
US Open Men's
Filip Krajinovic 4.00 Bet365
Plays opponent De Minaur. I feel the odds are slightly too big here for Filip as the last time these guys played each other on the same surface De Minaur won 2-1 yet Krajinovic didn't get trounced, in fact he won his set 6-0 against De Minaur. As always lets see how it plays out.
US Open Women's
Laura Siegemund 3.20 Bet365
Plays opponent Cirstea. Again, slightly surprised at the price here given that Siegemund beat Cirstea 2-1 when last playing on this surface.
Magdalena Frech 2.20 Bet365
Plays opponent Marino. Marino has admittedly been in decent form lately though here she plays Frech who is preferably a lot fresher and holds two wins over Marino on this surface. They have been close contests both times so expect a delightful battle of tennis tactics and wits in this fascinating matchup.

Agree with @CzechPunter

A over 3.5 sets accumulator might be of interest, with several matches where the players are fairly evenly matched. At first glance I think Draper Russuvori, Halys Rinderknech and Wawrinka Moutet could all go four sets or more. Any thoughts folks? 

If you see a price the bookies have set that doesn't seem to match with reality you better look closer and see what ever you can find out about a strange price like this dutchman. Often the bookies knows something when they put something like this out.
