[Tennis- US Open] 29.8/ 17:00 H.Hurkacz- J.Thompson
For today's pick, I'm going with Jordan Thompson to beat Hubert Hurkacz in the second round. Thompson got off to a good start in the first round, beating Constant Lestienne 6-1, 6-3, 6-2 as he was never broken and never really looked to be in trouble. This followed a solid Cincinnati performance where he beat Humbert and Baez, though he had to give Sinner a walkover in the third round. Overall, Thompson has been at his best on hard courts this season, as he returns well and seems to be a natural mover on the surface. Meanwhile, Hurkacz has been winning matches since his return from injury, but none of them have come easily, with his first-round win against qualifier Skatov being his first straight-sets win since his return. Hurkacz played well against Skatov, who is a good server with a powerful baseline game and solid volleys, but all of the sets were fairly tight, with two of them being tiebreaks. His serve is incredible as always, but he does make errors from the baseline that I think Thompson should be able to capitalize on. He had a good hard court season earlier this year and it makes sense that he's the favorite, but I really think Thompson should be able to keep this close. I expect Thompson to return well, stay focused on serve, and take the opportunities Hurkacz gives him, which is why I like him at plus money to win this match.
