ALBERT RAMOS-VINOLAS VS MATTEO BERRETTINI PREDICTION

Matteo Berrettini has enjoyed a resurgent 2024 on tour, overcoming injury and illness but has yet to have a big impact across the grand slams, so Flushing Meadows represents his last chance to do so. He’ll hope to utilise his high fitness levels to good effect in a five-set-encounter against an opponent eight years his junior.

Berrettini’s grand slam pedigree is significantly higher than that of Albert Ramos-Vinolas and that is likely to tell over the course of the game with the Italian capable of reaching levels that Ramos-Vinolas perhaps can’t reach, so the sensible move would be to back a Berrettini victory.
