Tennis Prediction Basavareddy vs Luka Mikrut: US Open

🇺🇸 Basavareddy +1.5 sets x 🇯🇵 Sakamoto 1.65 | 0.75u

• Basavareddy is ranked 148th in the world, with 23 wins and 11 losses this season, and in May he defeated Taylor Fritz in the first round of Roland-Garros, 7-6 7-6 6-7 6-1. The first top 10 player he has beaten in his career.

• And the American is coming off a really convincing R1 win in 3 sets against Moïse Kouamé, where he finished with 71% of points won behind his 1st serve.

• On the other hand, Luka Mikrut is 184th, with 9 wins and 8 losses. His only real streak of the year was 4 consecutive wins on the clay courts of Bad Rappenau, in June.

• Basavareddy remains a much more complete player on hard outdoor courts, unlike the Croatian player (who has only played 12 matches in his career on hard courts), and I see him getting the better of a Croatian player who is likely to be caught off guard today.
