Wild-card entrant Zachary Svajda is tasked with pulling off a massive upset against the Serbian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out my U.S. Open best bets for Aug. 27 below, featuring a pick on Gabriel Diallo and Jaume Munar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">US Open best bets: Aug. 27<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Best bet: Diallo -2 games (-120)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diallo&#8217;s first-round win was far from comfortable, as the Canadian needed four sets and a tiebreak to knock off Damir Dzumhur, 7-6, 6-4, 7-5, 7-5.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I was impressed by his grit and dialled-in serve, as Diallo smashed 17 aces versus just two double faults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That serve is Diallo&#8217;s not-so-secret weapon. The 6-foot-8 rookie ranks 19th in service rating on the ATP Tour, and if he can stay hot, he could go on a run in this event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diallo isn&#8217;t in &#8220;top form&#8221; right now, going 5-5 across his last 10 matches. But four of those losses came against Ben Shelton, Taylor Fritz (twice) and Jannik Sinner. That I can forgive. If we look at his matches against players outside of the top-20, the results are much prettier:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>8-2 in his last 10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>13-3 in his last 16<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A win at the 2025 Libema Open<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Munar, ranked ATP No. 44, has struggled on hard courts with a 50.67% career win rate. The Spaniard is also 0-2 against Diallo, failing to cover this spread in both matchups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Diallo beat Munar at the U.S. Open last year by four games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.com\/sportsbook\/sports\/tennis\/matches\/48h\">Full US Open betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best bet: Djokovic vs. Svajda<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Svajda +7.5 games (-134):<\/strong> Do I think Djokovic will lose this match? No, but I believe Svajda will put up a strong enough fight to cover this massive number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his first round battle against Learner Tien \u2014 and his first competitive match in six weeks \u2014 Djokovic laboured physically and had to receive treatment following the second set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Well, I started great,&#8221; Djokovic told reporters. &#8220;Then some long games in the second set &#8230; I was really surprised how bad I was feeling in the second physically &#8230; I don&#8217;t have an injury or anything. I just struggled to stay in long exchanges and recover after points.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Djokovic made 20 unforced errors in the second set alone but still got past his 19-year-old opponent, who seemed nervous in his own right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Svajda cruised through qualifying without dropping a set and then won his opening-round match 6-4, 6-2, 7-5. The American is now 17-2 in his last 19 matches with a pair of Challenger Tour wins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obviously, Djokovic represents a monstrous step up in talent. But Svajda&#8217;s confidence should be sky-high, and I expect him to make the 24-time major champion work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>U.S. Open betting picks made at 10:33 a.m. on 08\/26\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Open second round begins on Wednesday with plenty of star power in action.
