Matteo Berrettini vs Taylor Fritz US Open Prediction, Odds, Pick – 8/28/2024

Matteo Berrettini will face Taylor Fritz. Our US Open odds series has Berrettini-Fritz predictions and picks. Find out how to watch Berrettini-Fritz.

This is a great preliminary round match US Open. Matteo Berrettini is a former Wimbledon finalist and a player who has made it to the fourth round and quarterfinals at major tournaments many times, including a few semifinal results. Taylor Fritz reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals this year and is one of the top 15 professional players on the ATP Tour. The two are not facing off in the fourth round or quarterfinals but in the second round, known as the round of 64. Getting such a great matchup so early in a major tournament is a great treat for tennis fans as well as American sports fans who are getting ready for the football season but watch the US Open every year to get a taste of tennis.

Some will wonder why Berrettini has not reached a major final since playing in the 2021 Wimbledon final against Novak Djokovic. To be honest, injuries have hampered his game. Berrettini has established himself as a mentally strong player; his body has betrayed him. He gave Jannik Sinner a good fight at Wimbledon this year. Since Berrettini’s ranking has dropped due to an injury at the start of the year, he is facing higher ranked players first in important tournaments. The Italian will need to win a few matches like this and have some good runs so that he can gain ranking points and improve his position on the leaderboard. That’s the law of the jungle in tennis: win, gain points, build rankings and get easy draws in tournaments as a result. Berrettini needs a breakthrough so that he can climb the ranking ladder.

Why will Matteo Berrettini win?

Berrettini has been a better major-tournament player than Fritz, and it’s not even that close. Berrettini has had some really great runs, while Fritz has never reached a major semifinal. He came close at Wimbledon, but still lost to Lorenzo Musetti. Berrettini can use his major-tournament experience to help here. Keep in mind that Berrettini is getting 3.5 games. He could lose the match, but still cover. As long as Berrettini can get into a couple of tiebreakers and take the match to at least four sets – meaning he wins at least one set – he should cover. Fritz could win the match by a score of 7-6, 4-6, 7-6, 6-4, and Berrettini would cover. This scoreline would give Fritz a plus-2 margin.

Why will Taylor Fritz win?

Taylor Fritz has had a lot of success in head-to-head matches against Berrettini. He leads 3-0. That’s not a huge pattern, but it’s still impossible to ignore. Fritz is playing in his country’s major, and it’s easy to see him hitting big serves and playing with confidence.

Final Matteo Berrettini-Taylor Fritz prediction and selection

We’re leaning towards Berrettini against the spread, but this is hardly a lock, so we’d stay away from him. If you think this match will go to at least four sets, as we believe it will, then going by the totals of games won for each player would be a solid play. However, a match can go to four sets and a player still not win very many games. If that player loses a set 6-2, the match could go to four sets and that player could only win 16 or 17 games. So the best bet isn’t specific to any one player. Just go by the total games played. If the match goes to four sets, it’s likely that at least 41 games will be played. There will probably be at least one set that goes to 12 games (7-5) or 13 (7-6).
