We’re down to the final 8 players in the men’s draw of the 2022 US Open in New York. It’s the final grand slam of the year and everyone wants to bow out for the year in style. A good thing for the lower ranked players is that three of the top four men’s seeds were knocked out early, giving way for potentially new grand slam champions. Today, we have a quarter final featuring the new Spanish kid on the block, Carlos Alcaraz.
The 19-year old will face off against another youngster from Italy in Jannik Sinner, who is just 21 years old but he’s been termed early in his career as a giant killer. In this battle of the young blood at US Open 2022, one will go on to make their maiden grand slam semi final. You can use various sports betting websites for betting on this game, but remember to read below our Jannik Sinner vs Carlos Alcaraz betting preview…
US Open 2022 quarter final – Jannik Sinner vs Carlos Alcaraz
Jannik Sinner has already made three quarter finals in his grand slam career, and he will be looking to progress to his first ever semi final too. In fact, he’s made two quarters this year too, progressing to Round 4 and above in all the four slams played this year. He’s the number #11 seed and is up against a very agile and talented player, so Sinner begins as underdog, at pre-match betting odds of 2.60 with ComeOn Sport.
Alcaraz has made his third quarter final here, making one more earlier this year and getting to Round 3 and beyond in all four slams this year too. In terms of talent and current form, he’s miles ahead of his opponent but Sinner seems to have been getting better results at the bigger stage, so we wouldn’t bet on Alcaraz at pre-match odds of 1.50. If you think he will win though, maybe enter if he loses the first set and you get higher value.
US Open 2022 so far
The Italian has spent a lot of time on court at the US Open 2022, with a couple of 5-set games against Daniel Altmaier (Round 1) and Ilya Ivashka (Round 4). His second game of the tournament was a 4-set game and has had only one straight sets win so far, having lost the first set on two of those occasions. We’re expecting 3.5+ sets for sure in this encounter and Sinner to go behind at least once, so we’re expecting good value on him in live betting on this game.

As for Alcaraz, he stormed through his first three games in straight sets before having a 5-set battle against Marin Cilic in Round 4. He’s spent way less time on court and he hasn’t lost the first set of any game yet, so we’re backing him to win the first set here. Overall though, we think he may not be as mentally strong as his opponent, and we’re predicting a 3-2 victory for Sinner, at odds of a whopping 6.90 with ComeOn.
Jannik Sinner vs Carlos Alcaraz – head to head
Sinner vs Alcaraz has happened on three previous occasions. The first was at ATP Masters Paris in 2021 where Alcaraz won in straight sets. The next two encounters were at Wimbledon 2022 and Umag 2022 in Croatia, both of which were won by Sinner, so he leads the head-to-head count 2-1. He didn’t even either of those games in straight sets, so we know it’s going to be a well-fought game.
