Madrid Open Betting Tips
One of the biggest clay courts events of the season gets underway in Madrid with…
America’s Frances Tiafoe faces off against the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov in the quarter-finals of the 2024 US Open on Tuesday, 3rd September.
After emphatic wins for both players in their previous matches, this is set to be a fantastic game of tennis and potentially the one of the tournament so far.
Ahead of the match, our betting experts have been checking the latest odds to put together some top tips and predictions for readers ready for the tie.
An enthralling six-setter last time out against the Russian Andrey Rublev, the 33-year-old Dimitrov showed age is just a number as he went on to win 6-3, 7-6, 1-6, 3-6, 3-6. He won an incredible 80% of his first serve points, hitting 17 aces; however, with lots of unforced errors and double faults, Dimitrov will need to focus on the accuracy of his serve should he want to cause a tournament upset and beat the American.
Up against the man who sent last year’s US Open champion packing, Alexei Popyrin struggled to put up the same fight against last year’s quarter-finalist, Tiafoe. Not phased by who he knocked out previously, Tiafoe was up for the fight. With the overwhelming support of his home crowd, the 26-year-old won the tie 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), 2-6, 6-3, booking his place in this year’s quarter-finals. After coming so close last year and edging past the player who ended his 2023 US Open already, Tiafoe will do everything he can to get to the semi-finals and see off the experienced Bulgarian.
These two great players have played four times, with the Bulgarian leading 3-1. Their most recent encounter was at Wimbledon 2023, in which Dimitrov won. Prior to this, the pair met twice in 2018 and once in 2019. Tiafoe’s only victory over his opponent was in 2019 at the Australian Open fourth round.
Here at Betting Online, the expert tipsters are backing the homeboy Tiafoe to come out on top, but not without a fight from his opponent taking the match all the way.
