He has rediscovered his form in New York though and was similarly brutal in dispatching Jaume Munar in the last round.<\/p>\n<p>However, his run likely ends now \u2013 he\u2019s lost both previous matches against his compatriot in straight sets. A repeat here is 4\/6. Such odds never appeal to me but, then again, Sinner absolutely sauntered to winning this bet on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Musetti can do better this time around \u2013 he is 11\/8 to grab a set \u2013 but that line of attack proved embarrassing in Sinner\u2019s last match and I much prefer to look elsewhere on Wednesday\u2019s coupon.<\/p>\n<p>Felix Auger-Aliassime v Alex de Minaur<\/p>\n<p>I was a little surprised to see Auger-Aliassime up at 13\/10 to win this one.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not a sentence I thought I\u2019d be writing when I saw his scrappy win over Billy Harris in round one \u2013 the Briton should have won at least a set \u2013 but the Canadian arrives at this quarter-final having just knocked out seeds Alex Zverev and Andrey Rublev, losing only one set in the process.<\/p>\n<p>De Minaur is into the quarter-finals of a Slam for the sixth time \u2013 and without losing a set \u2013 but he\u2019s never been beyond this stage, one at which he\u2019s so often met his match and been well beaten. Indeed, he\u2019s yet to win a set in a major QF.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s often been the case that he\u2019s been unable to cope with a power player at this stage with defeats suffered at the hands of Dominic Thiem, Zverev, Jannik Sinner and, at this tournament 12 months ago, Jack Draper.<\/p>\n<p>Auger-Aliassime fits that profile \u2013 his serve will be cranked up towards 140mph and the groundstrokes he\u2019s capable of hitting will rush De Minaur and certainly have the potential to punch holes in his famous defence.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s long been said that De Minaur\u2019s game is limited and while he remains arguably he best ball-retriever in the game, he does lack that big weapon that many of the elite possess.<\/p>\n<p>A look at the head-to-head shows FAA has won all three of the previous hardcourt meetings and hasn\u2019t lost a set in doing so.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, I\u2019ve long struggled to get on the right side of FAA but judged on how he\u2019s playing \u2013 and how he\u2019s played De Minaur in the past \u2013 I believe he can land the upset here.<\/p>\n<p>Karolina Muchova v Naomi Osaka<\/p>\n<p>Based on what these two have achieved in the past, it\u2019s hard to be too surprised by the fact they have both reached the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n<p>But it was certainly hard to be confident about either doing so at the start of the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>While Osaka did make the Montreal final a few weeks ago, she hasn\u2019t had an impact on a Grand Slam tournament for many years. But some punters will surely take on board the fact on the four other occasions Osaka has reached the last eight of a Slam, she\u2019s gone on to lift the trophy.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s only lost one set so far, whereas Muchova has been taken the distance in every round.<\/p>\n<p>The Czech is seeking her third successive US Open semi-final and she clearly enjoys the conditions here. Too often her body has let her down but Muchova seems OK at the moment and certainly has the potential to disrupt Osaka with the variety in her game.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s won two of the previous four meetings, including at this tournament 12 months ago, and 2\/1 is a tempting price for her to take control of that head-to-head by winning here.<\/p>\n<p>However, the fatigue factor is something of a concern \u2013 she looked weary after a three-hour battle on Monday \u2013 and it\u2019s just not a bet I\u2019m prepared to pull the trigger on, particularly with former champ Osaka playing so well.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda Anisimova v Iga Swiatek<\/p>\n<p>Less than two months ago, these two met in the Wimbledon final and Anisimova didn\u2019t win a game.<\/p>\n<p>The script writers will have her gaining revenge in front of a patriotic home crowd but, frankly, it\u2019s hard to envisage.<\/p>\n<p>Quite how you turn that around so quickly is anyone\u2019s guess and it\u2019s my belief that Anisimova will be bringing a lot of baggage to the court here \u2013 probably too much.<\/p>\n<p>Such defeats can inflict real psychological damage and Swiatek isn\u2019t one to take her foot off the throat.<\/p>\n<p>Bar a second-set stutter against Suzan Lamens, it\u2019s been plain sailing for the Pole in New York, with the way she dismissed the in-form Ekaterina Alexandrova last time out noteworthy.<\/p>\n<p>Anisimova dropped even fewer games (three v four) in her last-16 victory over Beatriz Haddad-Maia to prove she\u2019s in fine form but then she also went into the Wimbledon final off the back of victory over world number one Aryna Sabalenka.<\/p>\n<p>Since the start of Wimbledon, Swiatek has won 16 of her 19 matches in straight sets and 4\/5 about a repeat here looks worth taking.<\/p>\n<p>In my book, she just does everything that bit better than Anisimova and I see her taking another step towards the title.<\/p>\n<p>Posted at 1720 BST on 02\/09\/25<\/p>\n<p>Safer gambling<\/p>\n<p>We are committed in our support of safer gambling.
