US Open Betting Preview

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga comes with the aim of winning the U.S. Open 2017, but he has to first negotiate the challenge of Marius Copil. The eight seed takes on Marius Copil in the Court 17 on August 28th. This first-round game will see the Romanian trying to cause a major upset – and it may be a first even with regard to US Open men predictions – at the start of the 2017 US Open Grand Slam.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga - Stats & Current Form

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga comes into the event ranked 10th in the world and is one of the favourites for this game in the eyes of the US Open men predictions. He has been a huge disappointment when it comes to Grand Slam events after failing to win any of the Grand Slam despite having come close on several occasions. The Frenchman has reached the final of the Australian Open in 2008. He has been to the semifinals of the French Open and Wimbledon on two occasions. However, US Open ATP odds are aware that he has never been able to get past the quarter-finals of the U.S. Open – after managing the same result in the last two editions.

Marius Copil - Stats & Current Form

Marius Copil has never been able to win a major title in his career. He is ranked 86th in the world. A similar statistics in the WTA game will not be enough to be considered as a potential for success in the US Open betting tips. Hence, it is not surprising that US Open predictions do not place the 26-year-old as one of the favourites for this encounter.

The Romanian comes after having been knocked out of the Vancouver Challenger by John Millman in the first round. He has been able to get past the first round of the competition only once in the last five competition appearances. Such statistics result in poor US Open ATP odds.

US Open Betting Tips

Games Handicap Jo-Wilfried Tsonga -6.5 @ 8/11 Betway

The US Open betting odds for a win for Tsonga are available at 1/7 with Betfair (best odds), but we won't go with this market since it offers low returns. We are choosing to go for the Games Handicap market: Jo-Wilfried Tsonga -6.5, which happens to offer a great price considering the gulf in class between the two players.

Tsonga may not have won a Grand Slam in his career, but he has been going through a reasonably positive run of form when it comes to players ranked lower than him. We are backing the Frenchman for a win in our US Open ATP betting tips but with a handicap.

Betting on a handicap in this case means Tsonga is favoured over Copil. Betway offers a good price at 8/11 for a handicap of sets to level the playing field. Even though Marius Copil will offer resistance, Tsonga is simply too strong. This pick is excellent for low riskers and Betway also offers a stunning 100% Matched Bonus.

Set 1 Total Over 9.5 @ 5/6 Ladbrokes

Picking US Open betting odds for the match to end with more than 9.5 games within the first set is also a great choice. Marius Copil won't be able handle a lot but we are going to find out when the two play. We suspect Marius Copil will quickly realise he's not in the same league as Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, but the first set will be for accommodation and it will probably take longer. This selection can be backed at 5/6 with Ladbrokes. They offer the best tennis live odds.
