Analyst Confidence: 4/5
Jakub Mensik and Learner Tien meet in an exciting third-round US Open clash between two of the sport’s brightest young players. Tien has reached this stage without dropping a set, while Mensik has also looked sharp, winning his opening two matches in New York.
Their only previous meeting was won by Tien, but it was a five-set Next Gen ATP Finals battle under the shorter Next Gen scoring format. Tien is also coming off a strong straight-set victory over Gael Monfils, while Mensik has shown excellent hard-court form.
With both players possessing the level to challenge each other and Tien’s recent form suggesting he can push Mensik, Over 3.5 Sets looks like an attractive selection.

Alexander Zverev faces 25th seed Alejandro Tabilo in the third round of the US Open. Zverev is the clear favorite, but his route to this stage has been anything but comfortable, with back-to-back five-set victories over Lorenzo Sonego and Quentin Halys. His latest battle lasted 4 hours and 33 minutes.
Tabilo is a dangerous left-hander with the weapons to trouble Zverev, particularly if the German’s level drops after two consecutive marathons. Zverev’s recent inconsistency makes it difficult to see this being another straightforward win, while the matchup is being played on the fast New York hard courts.
With Zverev’s fatigue and Tabilo’s ability to challenge top players, Over 3.5 Sets looks like an attractive selection.
