The US Open 2021 is heating up now, down to the final 8 in the men’s and final 8 in the women’s tournament as well. There’s a lot at stake and today, we’re going to talk about one of the men’s quarter finals which promises to be a cracker of a game. With the likes of Thiem, Nadal, Federer and others not taking part, it always meant we’d see some new stars and that’s exactly what has happened in 2021 US Open.
On one side of today’s contest, we have someone who has been growing steadily over the last couple of years but the 24-year old German is yet to get a Grand Slam title under his belt. We’re talking about #4 seed Alexander Zverev from Germany who has had a flawless US Open 2021 so far. In US Open 2020, he reached the final and will be looking to go one step further this year, now 3 wins away from the title.
However, he’s up against a good match in today’s encounter, in South Africa’s Lloyd Harris. The unseeded player has stunned quite a few in the tournament and caused a lot of people to rake in the big money in US Open 2021 betting markets. He’s a clear underdog but we’d like to see him do well and continue this spirited run, up at very attractive pre-match winner odds of 6.00 with ComeOn.
US Open 2021 so far
For Zverev, it’s really been a cake walk. We usually see him struggle in a couple of games early on in a Grand Slam but no, not here. In the US Open 2021 so far, he’s only dropped one set, in his third round game against USA’s Jack Sock. Apart from that, he’s only been taken to a tie-breaker situation once in this tournament, which he won in the final set in his Round of 16 game against Italy’s Jannik Sinner.

It’s been a slightly tougher route for Harris so far in the 2021 US Open. A 5-set thriller against #25 seed Karen Khachanov set up the tournament for him in Round 1 and after a couple of straight set wins, he lost the opening set against Reilly Opelka before winning the next three sets in his last game. Expect him to win at least a set and we think the 1st set could be a tie-breaker, at odds of 2.95 on ComeOn!
Zverev vs Harris head to head
The two have met only twice before head to head, once in 2020 in Germany and the next in 2021, with Zverev leading the head to head count, 2-0. The most recent encounter in Cincinnati saw Zverev winning in straight sets while the first time they met, a close game of 3 sets ensued, and we think we’re in for a thriller here today.
