Tennis Tips & Predictions: US Open Men's Finals

Summary

The ultimate stage of the US Open is about to commence and there is serious heat emanating from the racquets of the last two finalists.

Both Carlos Alcaraz and Casper Ruud have done immensely well to get to this stage of the tournament, and there is one final match to determine not only who gets their first Grand Slam trophy, but also the world number one ranking.

After Daniil Medvedev’s early fall in round four, the top spot in the world will belong to either one of these men, depending on the result this Sunday.

Many of the most coveted athletes have won this Championship and to add it to their resumes at such an early age would be a huge feather in the cap for both the Norwegian and Spaniard.

Although the field of this year’s US Open was not necessarily the brightest, there were several shining spots in the draw this season.

Breakout performances from players like Frances Tiafoe, Nick Kyrgios, and many more helped entertain the fans and bring new eyes to the tennis world.

This Sunday will be a nervy event for sure, but there is so much on the line for both of these men, still so young in their careers.

Match Betting Previews

Casper Ruud’s hard-court gameplay has been under severe criticism by many tennis fans around the world.

The Norwegian is looking down the barrel of a top one ranking, and at worst number two after this tournament ends.

Ruud has used every bit of his talent and potential during these past two weeks at the USO and no one can say otherwise.

Although his game may not be the biggest on the scene, his consistency and ability to damage opponents using grinding rallies is top-notch.

Ruud employs so many different strategies that can tilt the balance his way, even when the times get rough.

Breaking serve on the hard courts is something that both players excel at and something that Ruud will be looking to take under his advantage.

If he can get some soft points on return and put balls into play, there is always a chance of a break.

Holding serve himself will be key and limiting the scoreboard pressure needs to happen.

Ruud’s confidence over the past five matches will help greatly in his final endeavor against fellow world number one competitor, Carlos Alcaraz.

Carlos Alcaraz is currently tennis’ most exciting youngster and for good reason. The Spaniard now finds himself in a huge spot to get the monkey off his back and win his first Grand Slam.

An all-court game for the ages, Alcaraz has a powerful backhand, forehand, and displays variety with his shots. He can shoot you down from anywhere on the court and can easily adapt his game style to different opponents.

Alcaraz has the bigger power meter when compared to Ruud and hopes to employ some big shots to put his opponent away.

Although just a mere nineteen years of age, Alcaraz plays like a veteran and has the defense of no one you’ve ever seen before. The motor is going for this kid, and he believes New York is his time to shine.

Betting Prediction - Carlos Alcaraz to routinely wipe Casper Ruud by a possible three sets to one.
