Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. Daniel Altmaier: A Tale of Two Tired Tourists
The US Open’s latest installment of “Will This Match Ever End?” pits Stefanos Tsitsipas (1.30-1.32 implied win probability) against Daniel Altmaier, a man who recently survived a five-set odyssey that probably left him questioning his life choices.
The Stats:
- Tsitsipas: 3-5 form, but fresh off a four-set escape after losing the first set. Bookies love him, giving him a -4.5 games line at 1.83 (54.6% implied).
- Altmaier: 3-5 form too, but his opener was a five-set war that would make a gladiator weep. He’ll need to dig deeper than a Wimbledon clay court to cover +4.5 games at 1.83.
The Spread:
Tsitsipas is favored to win by ~5 games, but analysts predict a 4-set victory. If history repeats, Altmaier might be the “ugly” underdog who forces a decider. Bet the line, but brace for a marathon.
Totals:
The over/under is 38.5-39.5 games, with even odds. Given Altmaier’s five-set opener and Tsitsipas’ shaky form, “over” feels like the bookies’ way of saying, “We’re not touching this with a 10-foot rally.”
Player Props:
- Altmaier to win the match: 3.40-3.63 (28.3%-29.9% implied). A long shot, but if Tsitsipas naps, the German could capitalize.
- Tsitsipas to cover -4.5 games: 1.83 (54.6% implied). Realistic, but don’t expect a laugher.
Verdict:
Tsitsipas should win, but Altmaier’s “I’ve survived worse” energy makes him a spicy +4.5 underdog. Take the spread with a grain of salt and a bottle of ibuprofen—this one might test your patience.
Final Prediction: Tsitsipas in 4, but Altmaier will make you question why you didn’t bet on “number of times Tsitsipas faceplants while serving.” 🎾💥
