Nicolas Jarry - Alex De Minaur predictions and free betting tips [02/09/2023]

In the third round of the US Open on hardcourts, Nicolas Jarry from Chile and Alex De Minaur from Australia will combat. I'm — with conviction — backing De Minaur to claim victory, conferring him a -3.5 game handicap.

Nicolas Jarry

27-year-old Nicolas Jarry, who ranks 25th in the world, has claimed two victories at the US Open, snatching wins over Van Assche 6:3, 3:6, 6:2, 7:6 (7:3), and Mikkelsen 4:6, 6:3, 6:3, 6:3. Preceding this, the tennis player confronted a bout of misfortune, losing three out of four matches. In Cincinnati, he triumphed over Safiullin 4:6, 6:3, 6:3, but withdrew from his match against Popyrin and was ejected in the opening round of Toronto after succumbing to Humbert 6:4, 3:6, 4:6.

In Los Cabos and Wimbledon, Jarry managed to secure two victories, prevailing over Brouwer, Pacheco Mendes, Cecchinato, and Kubler, before succumbing to Tsitsipas and Alcaraz, respectively. Earlier, Jarry took part in a tournament in Eastbourne, where he fell in the first round to Barrere 3:6, 6:4, 4:6. In Halle he advanced to the quarterfinals, vanquishing Moutet 6:3, 7:5 and Tsitsipas 7:6 (9:7), 7:5, but later was outmatched by Zverev 5:7, 3:6.

At the start of June, Jarry claimed victory thrice at the French Open, vanquishing Dellien 6:4, 6:4, 6:2, Paul 3:6, 6:1, 6:4, 7:5, and Giron 6:2, 6:3, 6:7, 6:3, but was vanquished by Ruud 6:7 (3:7), 5:7, 5:7. Jarry showcased extraordinary play and excellent physical form at the Geneva tournaments, where he seized his crown, — prevailing over Lajovic, Griekspoor, Ruud, Zverev, and Dimitrov, demonstrating stability and superiority on the court. Moreover, in the current season Jarry played impressively on clay at the Santiago tournament where he secured a win. He prevailed over Varillas, Schwartzman, Hanfmann, Munar, and Etcheverry en route.

Alex De Minaur

24-year-old Alex De Minaur, who ranks 13th worldwide, claimed two victories at the US Open. In the first round, his opponent was Skatov, a match that concluded at 6:2, 3:6, 6:1, 7:5. He later vanquished Wu Yibing 6:1, 6:2, 6:1. He trumped Wolf in Cincinnati 6:0, 3:6, 6:1 only to fall to Monfils 5:7, 4:6 later. However, he managed to reach the finals in Toronto. During the championship, he prevailed over Norrie 7:5, 6:4, Diallo 6:4, 7:5, Fritz 7:6 (9:7), 4:6, 6:1, Medvedev 7:6 (9:7), 7:5 and Davidovich Fokina 6:1, 6:3. Nonetheless, he yielded victory to Sinner in the finals 4:6, 1:6.

Early in August, De Minaur competed in a championship in Los Cabos where he advanced to the finals. He triumphed over Mansuri 6:4, 6:4, Tirante 6:2, 6:1, Paul 6:4, 3:6, 6:3, and Koepfer 6:2, 6:7 (5:7), 6:1 but fell in the next round to Tsitsipas 3:6, 4:6. In Atlanta he made it only to the second round, besting Kokkinakis 6:3, 6:4 but was defeated by Humbert 6:7 (4:7), 3:6. At Wimbledon he also played two matches, claiming victory over Coppejans but fell next to Berrettini.

In June, De Minaur exhibited confident court play at the London championship where he reached the finals. During the tournament, he seized victories over Murray, Schwartzman, Mannarino, and Rune but fell in the final round to Alcaraz. In April, he advanced to the quarterfinals in Barcelona, besting Shevchenko and Dimitrov, only to fall later to Tsitsipas. This season, he also exhibited confident play on hard courts, including the championship in Acapulco where he won the title. During this championship he bested Pacheco Mendes, Berrettini, Daniel, Rune, and Paul.

Head-to-head

The athletes previously met in 2019 in the Acapulco hard-court tournament, where De Minaur triumphed 7:6 (7:5), 7:6 (7:2).

Prediction for the Jarry - De Minaur match

De Minaur is having a more stable season and is showcasing a confident play on hard courts. In this upcoming match, he emerges as the favourite, and thus, I'm siding with him for the win.
