Betting tip: US Open double!
Tien has looked good but Khachanov serves should give him at least one set. And Zverev has been struggeling while darderi has looked solid.
Match: Khachanov vs Tien + Zverev vs darderi
League / Competition: US Open
Our Pick: Over 3,5 sets in both matches
Odds: 3.05
Market: Over/Under
Analyst Confidence: 4/5
This Round of 16 matchup has all the ingredients for a long contest. Tien arrives after a five-set battle against Jakub Mensik, winning 6-3, 1-6, 6-7, 6-3, 6-4, while Khachanov has shown strong resilience in New York, including a four-set upset of Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Tien is the slight favorite, but Khachanov’s experience and powerful game should make this difficult for the young American. They have never faced each other at tour level, adding another layer of uncertainty.

Zverev enters the fourth round in strong form after beating Alejandro Tabilo in straight sets, but his first two US Open matches were both five-set battles. Darderi has already proven he can trouble Zverev, beating him in Rome earlier this year in three sets.
With Darderi’s aggressive game capable of putting pressure on Zverev and their previous meeting going the distance, this has the potential to be another competitive contest. Over 3.5 sets looks like the best angle.
