Best Bets For Thursday Morning’s US Open Second Round Matches

  • Aslan Karatsev is -250 on the moneyline against Jordan Thompson.
  • Jenson Brooksby has -130 odds to beat Taylor Fritz.
  • The betting total for Novak Djokovic and Tallon Griekspoor is set at 25.0 games with the OVER being a slight favorite.

NEW YORK – The first round of the US Open has been completed as the field has already been cut in half. Thursday will bring the latter half of the second round to the courts and some of the matches have pretty intriguing betting odds.

Aslan Karatsev Vs. Jordan Thompson

Aslan Karatsev moved past Jaume Munar in the opening round and could’ve done so by an even bigger margin. He only broke on five of his 14 chances but the bigger takeaway may be that he had 14 break points in general. Karatsev will now face someone who only puts in 62% of his first serves and wins just 49% of his second serves, which means more break points may be on the way.

Karatsev vs. Thompson Moneyline Odds

  • Aslan Karatzev -250
  • Jordan Thompson +210

Online sportsbooks have Karatsev favored to win but it would look to be by too small a margin. He has -120 odds to cover the 4.5-game spread against Thompson, which could also draw interest, but Karatsev’s moneyline still holds enough value to garner a wager.

Jenson Brooksby Vs. Taylor Fritz

Jenson Brooksby and Taylor Fritz will meet one another in the second round as one of the two young Americans will move past the other. Brooksby is lower in the ATP rankings but is favored in the meeting.

Brooksby vs. Fritz Moneyline Odds

  • Jenson Brooksby -130
  • Taylor Fritz +105

This is Brooksby’s first season as a professional and he has come out hot with an 85% rate on service games but is nearly matched by Fritz’s 82% in the 2021 season. Those betting on tennis can find value for either athlete as it is the closest match of the day according to the odds posted.

Novak Djokovic Vs. Tallon Griekspoor

Although Novak Djokovic is -20000 on the moneyline against Tallon Griekspoor, there may actually be some reasons to fade him. The total is set at a spot that anticipates complete domination and while Djokovic shouldn’t be in any danger to lose, sports betting sites may be overhyping his abilities a bit.

Djokovic vs. Griekspoor Total Odds

  • OVER 25.0 -120
  • UNDER 25.0 -110

In order for the UNDER to hit, Djokovic would need to win each set by 6-2 or better. In his first-round matchup, Djokovic lost a set. Griekspoor wins just 9% of his return games and will likely struggle to break Djokovic more than once but putting a total of 25.0 games on any match seems a little steep.

Griekspoor has played top talent before, losing to Alexander Zverev in 26 games, showing he at least has the capabilities of pushing the match past a total of 25.0 games.
