In the later semifinal, I&#8217;m betting on Taylor Fritz to win dominantly over Frances Tiafoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my top US Open men&#8217;s semifinal picks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">US Open men&#8217;s semifinal picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Visit full US Open <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/tennis\">betting markets<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best Bet: Sinner vs. Draper over 35.5 games (-106)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:93755\">Embed: #93755<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe these two have been the best players at the US Open so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sinner has been doing Sinner things, winning all but two sets on the path to the semifinal. His 28-2 record on the outdoor hard courts is outrageous and he&#8217;s deservedly the big favourite in this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Draper has been phenomenal in his own right, striking down four of five opponents in straight sets. A good way to see how good the Englishman has been is by looking at his time on court at the US Open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His 9:14 of playing time is much lower than the average of 12:45 the other three competitors have spent on the court. That includes Sinner, who&#8217;s played 11:17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 22-year-old should have more than enough legs left to make the world&#8217;s No. 1 player work for this win. Draper has held 59-of-62 break points (95.2%) at the US Open, so I don&#8217;t see his serve getting broken easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To hit the over on this games total, four sets should do the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> These two have played 26 games against each other and split them almost evenly at 14-12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fritz -1.5 sets (-141):<\/strong> This wager is mostly backed by the recent history between these two players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:93756\">Embed: #93756<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fritz has taken six straight matches off Tiafoe since losing their first career meeting. Five of those victories came on outdoor hard courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 18 total sets played against one another, Fritz has won 14. He&#8217;s simply dominated this matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m also going to go back to the fatigue argument for this bet. Tiafoe has logged more hours on court than anyone else left at this tournament (15:01).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compare that to Fritz&#8217;s 12:09 of playing time and it&#8217;s easy to think he will have the cardio advantage at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 11:25 a.m. on 09\/06\/24<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two semifinal matches take place at the US Open on Friday.
