2018 was the first time Austria’s Dominic Thiem made a Grand Slam final and it was unfortunate he ended up meeting Rafael Nadal on clay in the French Open, where Thiem ended up losing in 3 sets. In French Open 2019, Thiem made his second slam final but this time, he stretched Nadal into a 4th set. In the Australian Open 2020 final, Thiem loses to Djokovic in a 5-set thriller!
The 27-year old reached his fourth grand slam final and he’s more prepared and steady than ever before and he’s strong favourites to go on to beat Alexander Zverev in the 2020 US Open final. Zverev on the other hand has made his first major final and the last time he made a semi final in a grand slam was earlier this year where he lost in 4 sets to Thiem itself!
It’s a battle of the millennials where either way, we’re going to see a new US Open champion, a first-time slam winner and it’s going to be the first time we’re going to witness a 1990s champion! Thiem has been our favourite all along and while we’ve got odds of 15+ to win the tournament in earlier stages, he’s at super low odds for the final which aren’t worth playing on, at odds of 1.26 pre-match with BetWinner!

We’ll have to be creative and look for other live betting options if we want to make a profit out of this game. For one, Thiem beat Medvedev in straight sets in the semi-final when it was least expected. He was slight underdog in that game and still won in straights, which could be repeated today, considering he’s dropped only one set in the 2020 US Open. A 3-0 win is up at 2.58 odds with BetWinner.
US Open 2020 so far
Coming into the semi final, Thiem had dropped only one set – against Marin Cilic – and it stayed that way as he beat Medvedev 3-0 in what was easily his best game yet. A big part of his success has been his service games as he’s not even on the list for double faults in the US Open 2020 while Zverev is sadly, the tournament leader in terms of number of double faults (49).

A major reason for this however is because Zverev strives for excellence in his serves, also at the top for Aces (116) in this tournament while Thiem is way behind him (41) looking for consistency over Aces. Zverev has dropped a few sets this tournament but he’s shown character, especially in his semi final game where he was trailing two sets down against Pablo Carreno Busta before winning the next three to make the US Open 2020 final!
Thiem vs Zverev head to head
Between 2016 to now, these two have payed each other on 9 different occasions and Thiem leads the head-to-head count 7-2! The only times Zverev has ended successful against Thiem were on clay in Madrid (2018) and on a hard court once in Beijing (2016). Overall, Thiem leads 3-1 in head-to-head games on hard surfaces and he also has won all of their last 3 encounters!
In previous Grand Slam encounters, Thiem leads 3-0. He beat Zverev at the Australian Open in 4 sets earlier this year and beat him twice at the Roland Garros in the past too. What we’re saying is that while we’re not ruling out Zverev, all signs point towards Thiem becoming the first Austrian to win a US Open title! 5 sets at 3.1 odds with BetWinner!
