Nuno Borges - Learner Tien Betting Tip:
Learner Tien arrives in New York as a seed and with a Canada semi final still fresh in the memory, so the market has him as a fairly clear favourite here. That looks a touch generous. Borges is exactly the kind of opponent a young lefty does not want in an opening Grand Slam match: a patient, well organised grinder who makes you play one extra ball in every rally and who is comfortable spending three hours on a hard court. Tien has also carried a heavy summer workload, and the physical side of his game has been flagged as the one thing that could hold him back over five sets. Best of five is the key detail. The plus one and a half set line does not need Borges to win the match. It needs him to stay within a single set, so taking two sets in defeat is enough. Against a grinder who will stretch rallies and test the legs, that is a fair ask of a favourite who is not yet proven over the longer format.
