Blockx, Alexander — Trungelliti, Marco

Looking at the match between Alexander Blockx and Marco Trungelliti at the US Open. Let's start with the match model and expected score. Blockx is showing impressive form, having 10 consecutive wins, including recent confident victories like 3:0 against Barrios Vera and 2:0 against Mariano Navone. His current record on hard courts stands at 13-7 this season, indicating his ability to adapt to tournament conditions.

Trungelliti, on the other hand, has a more modest record of 28-23 this year and only 6-5 on hard courts. He is also not as stable as Blockx: for example, he lost to Daniil Medvedev with a score of 0:2 and just barely secured a win against Duncheng Shan with a score of 3:2. This creates a certain imbalance between the players.

Speaking of rankings, Blockx is ranked 34th in the world, while Trungelliti is in 83rd place. This also highlights the difference in class between the players. Considering their first meeting on the main tour, one can assume that Blockx will dominate on the court.

Additionally, it should be noted that Blockx has every chance for a comfortable victory with a margin in games. Given his current form and results against lower-level opponents, betting on a -6 handicap looks quite justified. Verdict on the line — let's take the bet at odds of 1.79.

Bet: Game handicap - Blockx -6.
