UPDATE: The highly anticipated match between Daniil Medvedev and Benjamin Bonzi is set to take place tonight at the US Open in Queens, New York. Medvedev, a former World No. 1 and champion in 2021, enters this match facing a challenging 2025 season, having won only 60 percent of his matches (27-18) so far.
With just one Grand Slam victory in 2025, Medvedev’s struggles have been notable, including a loss to Bonzi during the first round at Wimbledon. Despite his recent setbacks, Medvedev is currently favored at -450 to defeat Bonzi, who has gained momentum and confidence from their previous encounter.
Tennis analysts, including Gill Gross, emphasize that Medvedev is at a critical juncture in his career, grappling with physical decline and changing his game strategy without success. However, the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center has been a place of triumph for Medvedev, who was a finalist in 2019 and 2023, and won the title in 2021.
Bonzi, buoyed by his recent win against Medvedev, is poised to challenge the former champion. The Frenchman has demonstrated that his peak performance can unsettle higher-ranked players, but his consistency remains a concern. The nightcap format of the US Open adds to the excitement, as Medvedev is well-acquainted with playing under the lights.
Betting activity is surging, with many placing their bets on Bonzi for an upset victory, creating an interesting dynamic. Some analysts suggest backing Medvedev, predicting he will rediscover his form in a venue that has historically favored him. The recommended bet is Medvedev to win by -2.5 sets at odds of +150.
As match time approaches, the tension builds. Fans and bettors alike are eager to see if Medvedev can turn his season around or if Bonzi will continue to prove that he can compete with the best. Expect significant developments as the action unfolds at the US Open tonight.
