Sky Bet odds<\/a> | Paddy Power<\/a> | Betfair Sportsbook<\/a><\/p>\n Lois Boisson v Viktorija Golubic<\/p>\n I\u2019m going to make a first foray into the women\u2019s draw on Tuesday because the prices here look wrong.<\/p>\n Boisson was the surprise package and, in many ways, the story at this year\u2019s French Open, where she reached the semi-finals from pretty much nowhere.<\/p>\n But she is very much a claycourt player. Indeed, she only made her tour-level debut on hardcourts last week in Cleveland \u2013 and lost.<\/p>\n At all levels, she\u2019s just 1-3 on a hard surface this season and I expect she\u2019ll find the slick Laykold courts on Flushing Meadows a bit too quick for her liking.<\/p>\n In contrast, Golubic has won plenty of hardcourt matches in recent weeks.<\/p>\n She was the runner-up at the WTA 125 event in Warsaw and last week reached the quarter-finals in Cleveland where she beat the higher-ranked pair of Lucia Bronzetti and Katie Boulter.<\/p>\n Basically, I feel Golubic should be shorter than her odds of 8\/11 and will back her accordingly.<\/p>\n Billy Harris v Felix Auger-Aliassime<\/p>\n Long-term readers will know this column has profited by opposing Auger-Aliassime in the opening round of Grand Slams in the past and this could be another opportunity to do so.<\/p>\n The Canadian has played 25 Grand Slams now and has a pretty disappointing 13-12 record in his first-round matches.<\/p>\n However, I\u2019m not looking to oppose him in the win market here. Instead, it\u2019s another statistic that I\u2019m interested in pouncing on.<\/p>\n Of those 25 matches, only three have been won in straight sets with several players from outside the top 100 having won a set against FAA in R1 matches.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also worth noting that Auger-Aliassime has won only three of his previous 21 US Open matches (all rounds) in straights.<\/p>\n OK, I\u2019m sure plenty of you will question Harris\u2019 ability to join the club of those having taken a set from the 2021 semi-finalist. After all, he did lose in the final round of qualifying and is only here as a lucky loser.<\/p>\n Yet I like the fact he\u2019s already played three matches on these courts, whereas Auger-Aliassime is coming in somewhat cold \u2013 and we\u2019ve seen how problematic that has been for him at the majors in the past.<\/p>\n The last time we saw FAA on a match court he produced an awful display in defeat to Jannik Sinner in Cincinnati and so I would not rule out Harris winning a set here at all.<\/p>\n He\u2019s managed that against top-50 players Tomas Martin Etcheverry, Gabriel Diallo and Nuno Borges this season and, on a day which isn\u2019t throwing up great opportunities, looks worth a small bet to repeat the trick.<\/p>\n Posted at 0850 BST on 26\/08\/25<\/p>\n Safer gambling<\/p>\n We are committed in our support of safer gambling.
