US Open – fixtures and betting tips for Friday: Williams, Medvedev, Gauff and Murray serve

At the US Open in New York, the first round of sixteen finalists are being sought. Serena Williams’ next appearance is awaited with great excitement.

The American meets Ajla Tomljanovic from Australia in round three. The audience can once again look forward to the 23-time Grand Slam winner in the Night Session.

Daniil Medvedev, Matteo Berrettini, Andy Murray and Coco Gauff are also targeting the next round.

The US Open will take place in New York from August 29th to September 11th. Eurosport is on TV every day Eurosport 1 and Eurosport 2 live there. Eurosport is also broadcasting the US Open live discovery+ and in Eurosport Player.

Betting Tips:

Andy Murray (GBR) – Matteo Berrettini (ITA / 13)

Murray (51) and Berrettini (14) are far apart in the ATP ranking, but the balance of power is not that clear. Murray, who is in the third round of New York for the first time since 2016, presented himself in the first two rounds like in his best times and says of himself: “I’m moving better than I have in a long time.” Although Berrettini won the only direct duel with Murray in 2022 in the final in Stuttgart, he failed at his opening hurdle at the two Masters in Montreal and Cincinnati in the run-up to the US Open. A favorite fall seems anything but impossible. Betting tip: Andy Murray.

Ajla Tomljanovic (AUS) – Serena Williams (USA)

The Williams Festival in New York continues! The 40-year-old was still a bit rusty in the opening match against Danka Kovinic, but she really blossomed against the number two in the world, Anett Kontaveit, in the second round. With “her” audience behind her, she is now one of the favorites for the title on her farewell tour. But beware: Williams is entering new territory against Tomljanovic. She has never been on the court against the Australian. Betting tip: Serena Williams.

Nick Kyrgios (AUS/23) – JJ Wolf (USA)

With 31:9 wins, Kyrgios has an impressive record in 2022. In Wimbledon he marched to the final, in Washington he won the title in singles and doubles. Despite the spit scandal in the second round in New York, the Australian looks more mature and calm than in previous years. He is the clear favorite against Wolf, who is only in the third round of a Grand Slam for the second time in his career. It is also the first meeting on the tour for Kyrgios and the American. Betting tip: Nick Kyrgios.
