Querrey vs. Tsonga
At the age of 29, Sam Querrey is going through the best moment in his career. Besides reaching his first Grand Slam semi-final in Wimbledon, Querrey won his first ATP 500 title in Acapulco. Adding to this, Sam couldn’t have asked for a better way to start his US Open series campaign after winning the title in Los Cabos last week. Nevertheless, the American was on the brink of elimination on his debut in Montreal with a 4 – 6 7 – 6 7 – 5 win over Vincent Millot.
Playing in Montreal brings great memories to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga with the 32-year-old French winning the biggest title of his career two years ago on this event. Despite his disappointing results in Roland Garros and Wimbledon, Tsonga is having a great 2017. In addition to his outstanding 26 – 9 record in 2017, the world no.12 already won three titles this season on the ATP World Tour.
This will be the 7th career meeting between these two players with Tsonga leading on the h2h by 4 – 2. However, Querrey emerged victorious from their last encounter a few weeks ago in Wimbledon.
Despite Sam’s recent win over this opponent, the American was far from impressive on his opening match against Millot. On the other hand, Tsonga holds a phenomenal 13 – 2 record on his previous three appearances in Montreal. With this in mind, the value is definitely on Jo’s tennis betting odds to win this match at 4/5 at 5Dimes while Bet365 offers 6/5 for Querrey’s victory.
Best Play: Jo-Wilfried Tsonga ML at 4/5 at 5Dimes

Goffin vs. Chung
As we predicted in our Day 2 analysis, David Goffin proved too strong for Yuichi Sugita. Despite losing the opening set, Sugita couldn’t find the answer to Goffin’s exceptional baseline game. Famous for his outstanding counter punching skills, David continues his quest for top form after one month away from competition due to injury. Taking a look now at Goffin’s numbers in the previous round, the highlight definitely goes to his return to serve with the 26-year-old Belgian winning 49.40% of the points on Sugita’s serve.
Regardless of this Wednesday’s outcome, Hyeon Chung already secured his return to the top 55. Known as one of the most promising young players on the ATP World Tour, the 21-year-old is also trying to return to his best level after struggling with some physical problems in recent weeks. Looking now at Hyeon’s campaign in Montreal, the South-Korean reaches this stage of the competition after an epic battle against Feliciano Lopez.
These two players will face each other for the 2nd time in their careers with Goffin winning their previous encounter at the Moselle Open last year by 6 – 3 6 – 1.
As the h2h suggests, Goffin is far from an easy match-up for Chung. Despite Hyeon’s improvements in recent months, it’s hard to ignore the price for David’s victory at 57/100 at Pinnacle. On the other hand, Chung is available at 8/5 at William Hill. Besides the value on Goffin’s moneyline, placing a bet on his -2.5 game handicap at 83/100 at Pinnacle is also a great approach for this contest.
