Nedovyesov – Hewitt

Lleyton Hewitt last US Open preview

As Lleyton Hewitt enters his last ever US Open, Aleksandr Nedovyesov will look to be the one who ends his Flushing Meadows career – but the Australian veteran will draw confidence from the beating he gave to the Kazakh player a couple of months ago in the Davis Cup.

Despite being an accomplished player on hard courts, Nedovyesov chose to stay on clay prior to the US Open and has not played a single preparation tournament on this surface. It didn`t help him much. Aleksandr lost the previous three matches he played in straight sets against poor opponents and he`s not quite in his best form right now – actually pretty far from it, it seems, according to his recent results on tour.

Lleyton Hewitt looked pretty sharp in the two events he played after Wimbledon. The Australian was the hero in the Davis Cup tie against Khazakhstan, bringing home the decisive point against today`s opponent, Nedovyesov, in a one sided three setter. He went to Cincinnati next, where he defeated JP Smith in two easy sets before fighting neck and neck with an in form Feliciano Lopez – who went on to reach the quarterfinals. Hewitt showcased a little bit more power on serve compared to Wimbledon, where he played some vintage tennis but looked a bit spent.

The Davis Cup meeting was the only H2H clash between the two and it was on grass. However, considering that it was barely two months ago, it surely has relevance and will also give Hewitt a confidence boost, as he was all over Nedovyesov in that match and it was a 3 out of 5 match, which is important looking at Hewitt’s age and injury problems.

Lleyton should win this. His play in Cincinnati was the best we saw of him all season and he really showed glimpses of his old self at times. Obviously he will have huge motivation to get one more win in the US Open, but most of all it`s the fact that Nedovyesov is not a great player, he`s out of form and he has zero match practice on hard courts. Obviously the previous H2H meeting is also a plus to Hewitt – no match is similar to the other, but it`s hard to see Lleyton losing this considering how he utterly dominated that clash.

All in all, my tip is Lleyton Hewitt to win with a 1,5 set handicap. I reckon it`s the best bet, because if the match goes to 5, Hewitt will lose all edge and Nedovyesov will have at least equal chances given his younger age (though Hewitt’s experience would also count). Prediction: Aleksandr Nedovyesov – Lleyton Hewitt 5-7 2-6 6-2 4-6.

    • I recommend the best odds available, from our recommended bookies. I don`t always bet at those bookies. Most of my bets are at Betfair (can`t recommend odds from Betfair, because they are moving second to second). Personally, I won this bet at Betfair.
