T Money’s most recent graded Tennis picks
These are graded model outputs; historical replay/simulation rows are not described as preposted wagers. Losing results are never removed. T Money has 1885 graded picks on the record.
Anna Kalinskaya vs Emma Navarro — T Money took Emma Navarro at -115
2026-09-06 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Emma Navarro won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Kalinskaya is the better pure returner (44%/37% vs 43%/34%, and 36% return games won on hard) and Navarro's serve is modest too — in a mutual-breaking match on Kalinskaya's best surface she can win the break-trading war exactly as she did in Doha, where she is 2-0 up in the H2H.
Ben Shelton vs Stefanos Tsitsipas — T Money took Ben Shelton at -286
2026-09-06 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Ben Shelton won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Tsitsipas repeats his documented current A-game — 86% hold with 12-15 aces and 81%/68% serve splits on the big points — while Shelton's 5.3 double faults per match and depressed 85.5% hold rate hand over one break per set, turning it into the tiebreak shootout Tsitsipas has already won three times this fortnight and won twice against Shelton in their only meeting (Cincinnati 2023 R32, 7-6(3) 7-6(2), 1h43m — same surface but three years stale, describing a 20-year-old Shelton outside the loss-table window, so I weighted it only as a faint prior, with no recent meeting available to supersede it).
Jessica Pegula vs Sorana Cirstea — T Money took Jessica Pegula at -312
2026-09-06 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Jessica Pegula won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Cirstea reproduces the 72%-first-serve-in, 7-ace day she just played against Paolini while Pegula's first-serve percentage stays at the 54% she showed against Fernandez, throwing the match into the FIRST-STRIKE bucket where Pegula holds only 72% and is a coin-flip 9-8 on hard — and with 5 fewer matches in 30 days, the fresher 36-year-old wins the physical third set she came within one break of taking in Cincinnati.
Frances Tiafoe vs Daniil Medvedev — T Money took Daniil Medvedev at -141
2026-09-06 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Frances Tiafoe won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Tiafoe serves at his Vacherot level (67%+ first serves, 85% of first-serve points won, no break points faced) so Medvedev's return cannot manufacture a break, and the one break per set Tiafoe needs comes off Medvedev's leaking second serve (5.6% of service points are double faults over 12mo; 6 DFs in three sets against Rinderknech) in front of a home Armstrong crowd at his best major.
Tomas Martin Etcheverry vs Alex Michelsen — T Money took Alex Michelsen at -333
2026-09-06 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Alex Michelsen won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Etcheverry serves to his 88%-hold / 0.43-BP-faced hard-court split against low-ace opponents, Michelsen's 16% return-games-won rate versus MID servers holds true and he cannot manufacture chances, and the match stretches to a fourth or fifth set where Michelsen's post-oblique second serve — 13 DFs already this week and 0-3 in five-setters over the past 12 months — cracks first.
Marta Kostyuk vs Linda Noskova — T Money took Marta Kostyuk at -125
2026-09-06 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Linda Noskova won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Nosková serves at her Wimbledon level — the 9.2% ace rate holding up on a fast night court with the double faults contained — because Kostyuk's one documented Hard soft spot is precisely first-strike servers (4-5, return games won down to 32%, and Rybakina ×3, Sabalenka and Gauff already on that list), and a serve-dominated match decided by one break or a tiebreak is exactly how Nosková beat her two months ago.
Carlos Alcaraz vs Tommy Paul — T Money took Carlos Alcaraz at -400
2026-09-06 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Carlos Alcaraz won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Paul's clean upset path is to sustain his current hard-court serving level, hold through Alcaraz's return pressure and extend the match until the Spaniard's post-injury sharpness becomes a limiting factor.
Aryna Sabalenka vs Taylor Townsend — T Money took Aryna Sabalenka at -714
2026-09-06 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Aryna Sabalenka won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Townsend's lefty serve-plus-slice-and-net pattern (44 approaches against Shnaider, 91.8% first-serve points won in rounds one and two) is precisely the rhythm-disrupting template Sara Bejlek — also left-handed, also on hard, also in an R16 — used to beat Sabalenka 7-6(7) 6-4 seventeen days ago while Sabalenka's double-fault rate sat at 4.7% of service points.
Alexander Zverev vs Alejandro Tabilo — T Money took Alexander Zverev at -714
2026-09-05 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Alexander Zverev won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Tabilo can repeat his current-event serving level, force tiebreak-heavy sets, and exploit a roughly 3h30 workload advantage against a Zverev coming off 9h26 of singles and a late finish.
Learner Tien vs Jakub Menšik — T Money took Jakub Menšik at +125
2026-09-05 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Learner Tien won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Tien's documented return-and-rally game can repeatedly expose Menšik's vulnerable second serve and double-fault tendency, exactly the clean path used by patient returners in several Menšik losses.
Iva Jovic vs Alexandra Eala — T Money took Iva Jovic at -143
2026-09-05 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Iva Jovic won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Eala can overturn the pick by sustaining her current-event 88% hold rate, using left-handed return angles and pace redirection to extend Jovic, then exploiting her lighter workload; wins over Pegula, Svitolina and Osaka establish that hard-court A-game.
Elena Rybakina vs Yuliia Starodubtseva — T Money took Elena Rybakina at -1250
2026-09-05 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Elena Rybakina won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Starodubtseva can absorb the first strike, pressure Rybakina's vulnerable second serve, extend rallies enough to test the recently injured ankle and recreate the error spiral behind her clay H2H win.
Botic Van De Zandschulp vs Zizou Bergs — T Money took Botic Van De Zandschulp at -149
2026-09-05 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Botic Van De Zandschulp won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Bergs can use his 9.2% ace rate and 51% baseline second-serve yield to suppress Botic's 18% hard return, then attack Botic's 47% second-serve baseline in tight sets, which is a clean version of Bergs' documented A-game.
Arthur Gea vs Michael Zheng — T Money took Arthur Gea at +148
2026-09-05 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Arthur Gea won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Zheng keeps serving at this week's 83-92% first-serve-points-won level and turns it into a four- or five-set grind — the shape of his two biggest career wins (Korda in five at the AO, Norrie in five at Wimbledon) — against a Gea who is five matches and nine recent sets deep in ten days with the fresher man on the other side.
Coco Gauff vs Cristina Bucsa — T Money took Coco Gauff at -3333
2026-09-05 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Coco Gauff won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Bucsa can use her low-error grinder game to extend rallies, pressure Gauff's historically volatile second serve, and trigger clusters of double faults and forehand errors.
Mirra Andreeva vs Nikola Bartunkova — T Money took Mirra Andreeva at -400
2026-09-05 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Mirra Andreeva won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Bartůňková serves at her R1 level — double-digit aces, first serves landing near 60% instead of 50% — which strips Andreeva of the return games that are her main edge and turns this into a two-or-three-break shootout on Andreeva's documented worst hard-court split, a match Bartůňková has already proven she can win at this tier against Bencic and Tauson.
Alexander Blockx vs Flavio Cobolli — T Money took Flavio Cobolli at -125
2026-09-05 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Alexander Blockx won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Blockx reproduces the R64 serve line (88% of first-serve points won, 94% holds), Cobolli's 13–14% hard-court break rate against this archetype produces nothing, and the match funnels into tiebreaks that a 193cm righty wins — the exact template of Hanfmann (7-6 7-6), Korda (7-6 6-1) and Collignon (7-5 6-3) in Cobolli's hard-court loss table, where he is 0-5 against first-strike servers.
Karen Khachanov vs Benjamin Bonzi — T Money took Karen Khachanov at -227
2026-09-05 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Karen Khachanov won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Bonzi's documented A-game is already active, and if his exceptional first-serve effectiveness persists while Khachanov continues missing half his first serves, his superior current hard trajectory and steadier return pressure can carry the upset.
Luciano Darderi vs Dane Sweeny — T Money took Dane Sweeny at +417
2026-09-05 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Luciano Darderi won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Darderi can use his larger first serve and forehand to shorten rallies, then attack Sweeny's modest serve, reproducing the clean A-game path behind his stale hard-court H2H win.
Francisco Cerundolo vs Taylor Fritz — T Money took Taylor Fritz at -500
2026-09-05 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Francisco Cerundolo won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Francisco Cerundolo can reproduce the Struff template, absorb enough first serves, attack Fritz's second serve with his forehand and return, and exploit Fritz's modest 15% hard return-games-won rate to make each set hinge on a few points.
Elise Mertens vs Naomi Osaka — T Money took Naomi Osaka at -323
2026-09-04 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Naomi Osaka won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Mertens can extend exchanges, pressure Osaka’s second serve and harvest the mid-match error clusters already seen in both US Open rounds, a documented Hard-court path she converted twice in 2024.
Marie Bouzkova vs Iga Swiatek — T Money took Iga Swiatek at -625
2026-09-04 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Iga Swiatek won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Swiatek's realest hard-court failure mode this season is the flat, low-error counterpuncher who extends rallies and makes her serve it out — Magda Linette beat her 1-6 7-5 6-3 in March, and Bouzkova's second-serve scoring (52.2% over the last month) plus Swiatek's 5.0% double-fault rate is the one channel that can drag this to a decider.
Qinwen Zheng vs Madison Keys — T Money took Qinwen Zheng at +155
2026-09-04 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Qinwen Zheng won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Keys's documented hard-court A-game is a clean counter because her elite return can attack Zheng's low first-serve rate and second serve, while her own first-strike delivery meets Zheng's weak hard return split against that archetype.
Amanda Anisimova vs Anastasia Potapova — T Money took Amanda Anisimova at -455
2026-09-04 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Anastasia Potapova won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Potapova’s 40% return-game baseline gives her a credible upset path if she attacks Anisimova’s second serve and turns Amanda’s isolated second-set lapse against Tagger into a sustained pattern.
Ben Shelton vs Denis Shapovalov — T Money took Ben Shelton at -588
2026-09-04 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Ben Shelton won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Shapovalov reproduces his Kecmanovic serving outlier (19 aces, 85% behind the first serve) for three sets while Shelton's return sits at its usual 13-15%, turning this into a lefty-versus-lefty tiebreak lottery — and Shapovalov has already pushed Shelton to a breaker in their most recent meeting.
Elina Svitolina vs Anna Kalinskaya — T Money took Elina Svitolina at -250
2026-09-04 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Anna Kalinskaya won.
Documented risk, written before the result: The Doha template repeats — Kalinskaya takes the ball early and flat off Svitolina's 57-58% first-serve-in and 44.6% second-serve-points-won (her 1mo numbers), turning it into a straight-sets return-first win before Svitolina's legs settle on a one-day turnaround after 2h10, with the ankle one bad step from re-aggravation.
Frances Tiafoe vs Valentin Vacherot — T Money took Valentin Vacherot at +160
2026-09-04 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Frances Tiafoe won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Tiafoe can hold comfortably against Vacherot's limited return, punish the unstable second serve, and let his superior recent ceiling and extensive best-of-five experience take over.
Tomas Martin Etcheverry vs Mariano Navone — T Money took Tomas Martin Etcheverry at +100
2026-09-04 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Tomas Martin Etcheverry won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Navone's documented A-game is attritional grinding and break-point denial (7/9 saved vs Berrettini, 11/12 in Canada), and Etcheverry's loss table shows a man who repeatedly fails to close tight long matches (6-7 7-6 7-6 to Paul, four-setters surrendered to Sonego and Diallo) — if Etcheverry's first-serve percentage stays at the 57-61% he has shown all week, this becomes the four-and-a-half-hour rally war Navone just proved he can win.
Ann Li vs Linda Noskova — T Money took Linda Noskova at -250
2026-09-04 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Linda Noskova won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Noskova's hard-court loss table is stocked with flat, early-ball redirectors of roughly Li's tier — Cirstea (three times), McNally, Boulter, Gracheva — and if her second serve reverts to the August spike (7.83 DF/match, 12.6% of service points, 2nd-serve-won 40.7%), Li can be gifted the one break per set she is unlikely to earn on return, in front of a home crowd.
Carlos Alcaraz vs Yibing Wu — T Money took Carlos Alcaraz
2026-09-04 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Carlos Alcaraz won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Wu serves his Duckworth week again (14/14 holds, 12 aces, 1 DF), drags Alcaraz — who has not completed a competitive five-setter since January and is two matches removed from a four-month wrist layoff — past three hours by stealing an early set off the documented slow start, and the taped right wrist tightens or breaks down.
Tommy Paul vs Alexander Bublik — T Money took Alexander Bublik at +175
2026-09-04 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Tommy Paul won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Paul's documented return-pressure A-game is a clean path to extending rallies, exposing Bublik's second serve, and turning Bublik's limited 16% hard-court return rate into a decisive disadvantage.
Karolina Muchova vs Emma Navarro — T Money took Karolina Muchova at -317
2026-09-04 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Emma Navarro won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Muchova's one documented hard-court soft spot is exactly Navarro's archetype — she holds only 71% and is 8-6 vs MID servers — so if her post-surgery first serve stays in the mid-50s across a long three-setter, Navarro's real A-game (extending rallies, 55% of second-serve return points, break-point defence) drags this into the physical test that a two-match, 116-minute return from an undisclosed surgery has not yet faced.
Jiri Lehecka vs Stefanos Tsitsipas — T Money took Jiri Lehecka at -263
2026-09-04 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Stefanos Tsitsipas won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Tsitsipas can land enough first serves to reproduce the Fils-match serve-and-forehand pattern, and his 19% hard break rate against first-strike servers supplies a clean, documented path to pressuring Lehecka across five sets.
Diana Shnaider vs Taylor Townsend — T Money took Taylor Townsend at +150
2026-09-04 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Taylor Townsend won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Shnaider's documented A-game provides a clean counterpath because her 35% Hard break rate and p99 Pegula and p97 Muchova wins prove she can absorb Townsend's first strike, expose any regression from the current 91.8% spike and control the baseline exchanges.
Aryna Sabalenka vs Kamilla Rakhimova — T Money took Aryna Sabalenka at -1667
2026-09-04 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Aryna Sabalenka won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Sabalenka lost R16 hard matches to Alexandrova and Bejlek within the last month with her first-serve-in down at 58% and 3.75 DF per match, so a repeat of that self-inflicted level drop would let Rakhimova — who grinds, extends rallies and just beat a seed from 49% first serves — steal a tight opener and turn this into the kind of scrappy three-setter she has been winning.
Leylah Fernandez vs Jessica Pegula — T Money took Jessica Pegula at -500
2026-09-04 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Jessica Pegula won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Fernandez can reproduce her Washington hard-court win through left-handed return pressure and early-ball redirection, a documented A-game matching Pegula’s recent hard-court losses to Eala and Shnaider, while benefiting from a 216-minute workload advantage.
Alex Michelsen vs Daniel Merida Aguilar — T Money took Alex Michelsen at -179
2026-09-04 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Alex Michelsen won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Merida's documented A-game is precisely a return assault, and Michelsen's first serve is landing at only ~60% with double faults near 5% of service points — the exact conditions under which Merida broke him five times in fourteen service games at Montreal four weeks ago, on this same surface.
Daniil Medvedev vs Arthur Rinderknech — T Money took Daniil Medvedev at -345
2026-09-04 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Daniil Medvedev won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Rinderknech’s 87% hold and first-strike A-game can deny Medvedev return rhythm and reproduce the recent Shanghai H2H pattern, creating a clean tiebreak-heavy route to the upset.
Jasmine Paolini vs Sorana Cirstea — T Money took Sorana Cirstea at -182
2026-09-04 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Sorana Cirstea won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Paolini's genuine A-game is precisely the counterpunch-and-return profile that beats Cîrstea, and if the leaky second serve from Cincinnati returns (36.4% of second-serve points won, 4 DFs vs Pegula; 4.50 DF/match over the last month) Paolini's 55% second-serve return can break the 36-year-old repeatedly and win a two-hour-plus decider, as her 3-0 head-to-head suggests she can.
Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Marta Kostyuk — T Money took Marta Kostyuk at -270
2026-09-04 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Marta Kostyuk won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Alexandrova’s documented first-strike A-game, recently sufficient to beat p100-strength Sabalenka, cleanly matches Kostyuk’s weakness against elite power servers and could reproduce Alexandrova’s stale but proven hard-court H2H path.
Coco Gauff vs Paula Badosa — T Money took Coco Gauff at -1000
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Coco Gauff won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Badosa repeats her R1 serving (65%+ first serves in, 7/7 break points saved) and hits flat through Gauff's forehand for two quick sets before her post-procedure match fitness is ever tested — the identical template to Berlin and the 2025 Australian Open quarterfinal.
Botic Van De Zandschulp vs Alex De Minaur — T Money took Alex De Minaur at -500
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Botic Van De Zandschulp won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Van de Zandschulp reproduces his R1 serving line (16 aces, 88% behind the first ball, zero break points faced) for three or four sets, holds cheaply, and converts one or two breaks off De Minaur's sub-55% first-serve percentage — the Rotterdam script finished rather than lost, and he has the Medvedev scalp (p96) from four weeks ago on this surface to show it is live.
Jesper De Jong vs Zizou Bergs — T Money took Zizou Bergs at -312
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Zizou Bergs won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Bergs' documented hard-court flaw is failing to break MID servers (11% return games won, 4-8 in that split) and going flat against lower-ranked opposition — Merida beat him 6-3 6-2 three weeks ago and Fery beat him from a set up in a Wimbledon five-setter — so a De Jong who keeps first-serve percentage respectable and drags this past three hours can win a tiebreak-heavy attrition match.
Iva Jovic vs Francesca Jones — T Money took Iva Jovic at -667
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Iva Jovic won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Jones can reproduce her recent serving spike and use her grinder A-game to turn Jovic’s weak second serve and error volume into the prolonged, close-set match that has beaten Jovic before.
Yunchaokete Bu vs Michael Zheng — T Money took Michael Zheng
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Michael Zheng won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Bu’s documented first-strike A-game is already functioning, and another high-hold performance could prevent Zheng from applying his return advantage often enough.
Ignacio Buse vs Benjamin Bonzi — T Money took Ignacio Buse at +112
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Benjamin Bonzi won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Bonzi serves at his R1 level (76% of first-serve points won, 15/18 holds) and drags a Buse who has played six matches in eleven days — including a 3h47 five-setter — into a four-hour best-of-5 where Buse's total format sample is one match and his second serve (43-48% won vs Giron) is the leak.
Zachary Svajda vs Arthur Gea — T Money took Arthur Gea at +105
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Arthur Gea won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Svajda’s documented hard A-game, 85% hold with a 9.3% ace rate and only 2.8% double faults, produced 18 holds and 72% weighted second-serve points won against Altmaier; repeating it while Gea repeats his eight-double-fault, 40% second-serve line is a clean path to a Svajda win.
Tatjana Maria vs Nikola Bartunkova — T Money took Nikola Bartunkova at -238
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Nikola Bartunkova won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Maria's first-strike serve, disruptive slice variation and much lighter workload create a clean upset path against Bartunkova's documented 1-6 hard record versus first-strike servers.
Lorenzo Musetti vs Dane Sweeny — T Money took Lorenzo Musetti at -2500
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Dane Sweeny won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Sweeny's 24% hard-court break rate and retrieval can punish Musetti if the Italian returns to his one-month 59.9% first-serve-in and 51.3% second-serve-points-won levels, producing the long, uneven match that best suits Sweeny's A-game.
Learner Tien vs Gael Monfils — T Money took Learner Tien at -417
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Learner Tien won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Monfils sustains his R128 serving night (79% first-serve points won, 5 aces, 2 DF) for three sets, attacks Tien's genuinely soft second serve — down to 46.8% won over the trailing 3 months from a 51.2% 12mo baseline — and converts a night-session crowd into two tight sets he steals on a handful of points, the same way he took a 6-0 set off Tien in Montreal.
Alexander Zverev vs Quentin Halys — T Money took Alexander Zverev at -588
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Alexander Zverev won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Halys can repeat his 82% first-serve points won, exploit Zverev's mere 8% return-games-won against first-strike servers, and force breakers while Zverev is recovering from nearly five hours on court.
Qinwen Zheng vs Yulia Putintseva — T Money took Qinwen Zheng at -333
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Qinwen Zheng won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Zheng's first-serve percentage stays near the 46% she posted in R128 and her 5–6 double faults a match feed enough second balls to a returner winning 57% of second-serve return points, letting Putintseva stretch it into the long attritional match she just won — her documented A-game, on her best surface, against an opponent with four matches in nine days in the legs.
Mirra Andreeva vs Eva Lys — T Money took Mirra Andreeva at -1000
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Mirra Andreeva won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Andreeva's documented habit of surrendering leads — Kostyuk (4-6 6-0 6-2), Krejčíková (4-6 7-5 6-4), Siniaková, Anisimova and Mboko all beat her after she took the opening set within the last 12 months — could hand a scrappy, high-first-serve-percentage Lys a foothold if her second serve (48% points won, 5.5% double faults) starts leaking against Lys's best channel, 58% of second-serve return points won.
Yuliia Starodubtseva vs Maria Sakkari — T Money took Maria Sakkari at -161
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Yuliia Starodubtseva won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Starodubtseva's clean upset path matches her documented grinder/return A-game: her 36% hard return-games-won rate can pressure Sakkari's second serve, which won only 43% in R1 after a 42.9% one-month baseline, and induce another high-error performance.
Elena Rybakina vs Jessica Bouzas Maneiro — T Money took Elena Rybakina at -588
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Elena Rybakina won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Bouzas’s 44% return-points and 36% break baseline gives her a clean path to exploit Rybakina’s low first-serve percentage, extend rallies and repeatedly test the recently injured ankle.
Tristan Schoolkate vs Flavio Cobolli — T Money took Flavio Cobolli at -667
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Flavio Cobolli won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Schoolkate repeats his 25-ace, 85% first-serve-points performance and forces breakers against Cobolli's documented 0-5 hard record versus FIRST-STRIKE servers while Cobolli is recovering from a 4h12 opener.
Alejandro Tabilo vs Alexei Popyrin — T Money took Alejandro Tabilo at -115
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Alejandro Tabilo won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Popyrin's 13.3% ace-rate first-strike serve directly matches Tabilo's documented hard-court weakness against that archetype and can reduce the match to a few break points or tiebreaks.
Marco Trungelliti vs Alexander Blockx — T Money took Alexander Blockx at -400
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Alexander Blockx won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Blockx's second serve reverts to its measured summer level (2nd-serve-points-won 42–44% and ~6.7% double faults over the last 1–3 months) against the one thing Trungelliti does well — 51% of second-serve return points and 23% return-games-broken — and the 21-year-old, who is roughly 1-3 lifetime in best-of-5, gets dragged into a four-hour grind by a man who has already survived one this week.
Jurij Rodionov vs Jakub Menšik — T Money took Jakub Menšik at -1000
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Jakub Menšik won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Rodionov holds behind the lefty ad-court serve and drags the match into breakers the way Mannarino did at Queen's (two tiebreaks, 2h42) and Bellucci nearly did in Cincinnati, feeding on Menšík's double-fault-prone second serve until a long best-of-five meets Menšík's shaky 2026 durability record (AO abdominal withdrawal, RG wheelchair after 4h41).
Himeno Sakatsume vs Cristina Bucsa — T Money took Himeno Sakatsume at +160
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Cristina Bucsa won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Bucsa's proven A-game supplies a clean losing path because her 44% hard-court break rate against grinders can neutralize Sakatsume's modest serve, especially if Bucsa sustains the improved second serve shown against Bejlek.
Anastasia Potapova vs Leolia Jeanjean — T Money took Anastasia Potapova at -312
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Anastasia Potapova won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Potapova's documented hard-court flat-lining — first-serve-in at 50.0% over the last three months and 2026 hard losses to Emiliana Arango (R1) and Ella Seidel (qualifying) — reappears, letting Jeanjean's counterpunching stretch rallies into Potapova's ~34-unforced-error range while her back, only six days removed from a withdrawal, is tested in a long two-and-a-half-set match.
Maria Timofeeva vs Elise Mertens — T Money took Elise Mertens at -303
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Elise Mertens won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Timofeeva's clean upset path is sustained return pressure, particularly her 56% second-serve return baseline, against Mertens's 7.0% double-fault rate and 45% second-serve win rate, aided by one extra full rest day.
Taylor Fritz vs Mattia Bellucci — T Money took Taylor Fritz at -769
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Taylor Fritz won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Bellucci sustains his Piros/Stuttgart serving (68% first-serve in, 88% won, lefty slider wide to the ad court) while Fritz's return stays at the soft 4-of-16-break-points level he showed in R1, turning this into the tiebreak-shaped scrap Stuttgart already was — 5-7 7-5 7-5, only over five sets instead of three.
Madison Keys vs Anna Bondar — T Money took Madison Keys at -909
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Madison Keys won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Bondar can protect serve and turn this into an error-heavy, few-break contest if Keys repeats the opener’s 59.1% first-serve-points-won performance and four lost service games.
Francisco Cerundolo vs Jan-Lennard Struff — T Money took Francisco Cerundolo at -189
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Francisco Cerundolo won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Struff repeats his R1 serve line (89% of first-serve points won, three break points faced in fourteen games) while Cerundolo's first serve stays near 51% with double-digit double faults, converting the match into a tiebreak sequence that the documented first-strike A-game wins — precisely the profile Cerundolo went 1-6 against on this surface over twelve months.
Alexandra Eala vs Oleksandra Oliynykova — T Money took Alexandra Eala at -2000
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Alexandra Eala won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Oliynykova replays Strasbourg — she attacks Eala's soft second serve (47-48% of 2nd-serve points won, DF up to 4.9% of service points over the last month) with the 41% return-games-broken rate and 6-of-8 break conversion she just showed, and drags a 66%-hold Eala into a physical third set.
Katerina Siniakova vs Naomi Osaka — T Money took Naomi Osaka at -333
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Naomi Osaka won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Osaka's first serve stays near the 50.6% she posted in R1 and Siniakova, a better returner than Zakharova (who broke her four times), turns this into a break-trading match in which Osaka's second serve (50% won, DF rate up to 5.5% of service points last month) is the weakest thing on court.
Karen Khachanov vs Felix Auger-Aliassime — T Money took Felix Auger-Aliassime at -250
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Karen Khachanov won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Khachanov can repeat his efficient first-strike serving, attack Auger-Aliassime's unstable second serve and use his lighter workload to force tiebreak-heavy sets, a clean path supported by the newest H2H.
Iga Swiatek vs Nadia Podoroska — T Money took Iga Swiatek
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Iga Swiatek won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Swiatek's own service volatility rather than anything Podoroska does — she has dropped opening sets repeatedly in 2026 (1-6 to Linette, 2-6 to Sakkari, 3-6 to Kostyuk) at a 5.1% double-fault rate, and if she gifts a tight first set, Podoroska has just proven she can survive 168 minutes from a set down and could drag it to a nervy decider.
Marie Bouzkova vs Harriet Dart — T Money took Marie Bouzkova at -357
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Marie Bouzkova won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Dart’s documented hard-court A-game is a return-led grind, and her 44% return-games-won rate plus the improved second serve shown against Stearns provide a clean path to repeatedly breaking Bouzkova’s 65% hard-court hold.
Amanda Anisimova vs Lilli Tagger — T Money took Amanda Anisimova at -392
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Amanda Anisimova won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Tagger can reproduce her 69.5% three-month first-serve-points-won level, dictate before Anisimova engages her superior return and punish Anisimova’s 7.0% one-month double-fault rate, a documented hard-court A-game backed by p96 and p88 wins.
Dalibor Svrcina vs Luciano Darderi — T Money took Dalibor Svrcina at +138
2026-09-03 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Luciano Darderi won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Best-of-five attrition is Darderi's documented A-game and Svrcina has played nine sets in eight days including a 301-point five-setter — if Darderi holds near his 76% Hard rate while Svrcina's confirmed serve decay (3mo: 56.4% first-in, 43.0% 2nd-won, 6.6% DF rate; 15 double faults against Royer) resurfaces, the Czech gets ground down in the fourth and fifth sets by a fresher man who was in a Masters 1000 quarter-final four weeks ago.
Carlos Alcaraz vs Jaime Faria — T Money took Carlos Alcaraz at -1000
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Carlos Alcaraz won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Faria's clean upset path is to reproduce the first-strike serving and break-point resistance from his p89 Shelton win, hold often enough to extend the match, and force Alcaraz's still-untested post-wrist comeback into a fourth or fifth set.
Linda Noskova vs Lanlana Tararudee — T Money took Linda Noskova at -400
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Linda Noskova won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Tararudee is a documented first-strike right-hander who is 3-1 on hard against that archetype, and her return pressure can convert Noskova’s current double-fault problem into the aggressive-pressure loss pattern seen against Anisimova, McNally and Sabalenka.
Rafael Jodar vs Yunchaokete Bu — T Money took Rafael Jodar
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Yunchaokete Bu won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Jódar's documented hard-court hole is precisely first-strike servers — 2-4 with only 17% return games won and 0.59 break points faced per service game — so if Bu serves at his Q2/Q3 ceiling (9 aces per match) and drags this into a three-or-four-tiebreak grind, the debutant seed can be sniped in a set-count that never reflects the level gap.
Ben Shelton vs Hubert Hurkacz — T Money took Ben Shelton at -196
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Ben Shelton won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Hurkacz plays his documented A-game — 93% holds and 0.22 break points faced per service game versus big servers on hard, the profile that produced 7-6(1) 7-6(2) over Fritz in January — and Shelton repeats the Faria-style conversion failure (1/12 BPs), turning this into three tiebreaks that the taller server steals.
Marta Kostyuk vs Sloane Stephens — T Money took Marta Kostyuk at -833
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Marta Kostyuk won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Kostyuk's first-serve percentage has slid every window (57.6% 12mo → 52.4% last month) with her double-fault rate rising to 7.1% of service points, and Stephens' documented A-game is exactly that — extend rallies, feast on second serves (54% second-serve return points won) and grind out 7-5 sets, as she did twice in Cincinnati, in front of a home Armstrong crowd.
Valentin Vacherot vs Kamil Majchrzak — T Money took Valentin Vacherot at -123
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Valentin Vacherot won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Vacherot's first-serve percentage sat at 54% in R1 and his post-injury double-fault rate ran 5.5-7.0% of service points, so if that recurs, Majchrzak — who wins 52% of second-serve return points and 36% of return points overall — gets the extended, flat-hitting baseline exchanges that beat Vacherot in his Nakashima, Michelsen and Navone losses, and Vacherot's several 7-6 losses in the loss table say the big points are not a strength.
Adrian Mannarino vs Alexander Bublik — T Money took Alexander Bublik at -357
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Alexander Bublik won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Mannarino beat this exact opponent 6-3 6-2 on hard just 11 months ago (Beijing, 20250924 — recent *and* same-surface, so it outranks the stale 2020 Doha meeting entirely), and Bublik's loss table documents repeated defeats to left-handers who absorb pace (Tien ×2, Molcan, Bellucci) and a taste for checking out of grinding matches — against an opponent reported to have won 11 consecutive five-setters, a fifth set is a live and documented path.
Matteo Berrettini vs Mariano Navone — T Money took Matteo Berrettini at -200
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Mariano Navone won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Navone can repeat Montreal by absorbing Berrettini’s first strike, extending rallies and dominating the leverage points, a clean path supported by the recent hard H2H and his 3-1 hard record against first-strike servers.
Elina Svitolina vs Maya Joint — T Money took Elina Svitolina at -667
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Elina Svitolina won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Joint sustains her R1 first-serve level (78% in, 74% won) to steal free holds while Svitolina's recently inflated double-fault rate (6.7% of service points in the last month, 5.00 per match) hands back the breaks, dragging this into a physical third set 15 days after the ankle withdrawal.
Frances Tiafoe vs Rei Sakamoto — T Money took Frances Tiafoe at -263
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Frances Tiafoe won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Sakamoto sustains the documented A-game shown against Vukic, 70% first serves in, 79% won, and 38 aces, against a Tiafoe hard return that broke first-strike servers only 16%, converting the match into one-break and tiebreak sets while testing Tiafoe's short recovery.
James Duckworth vs Yibing Wu — T Money took Yibing Wu
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Yibing Wu won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Duckworth can ride the first-strike pattern that produced 16 aces against Arnaldi, and Wu’s documented 12% hard-court break rate against MID servers gives Duckworth a clean path through protected holds and tiebreaks.
Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Kimberly Birrell — T Money took Ekaterina Alexandrova at -370
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Ekaterina Alexandrova won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Birrell's documented 39% hard return-games-won rate directly targets Alexandrova's 45% second-serve baseline, giving her a clean path to reproduce the sustained return pressure behind Alexandrova's recent losses to Bejlek and Svitolina.
Karolina Muchova vs Katie Boulter — T Money took Karolina Muchova at -556
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Karolina Muchova won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Muchova has one competitive singles match in seven weeks and a 58-minute R1 tested nothing physically, so if Boulter's serve holds together early — her genuine A-game is first-strike serve-plus-forehand front-running, which produced 83% holds in R1 — she can steal a set and drag this past two hours into the one place the post-surgery body is unproven.
Caty McNally vs Emma Navarro — T Money took Caty McNally at +116
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Emma Navarro won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Navarro's mid-tier serve is the one channel where she is clearly better (67% of 1st-serve points won, 5.2% aces vs McNally's 61%/2.0%), and McNally is 2-4 with just 25% of return games won against MID servers on hard over 12 months — if Navarro serves near 60% first-in, McNally's rising double-fault rate (7.3% of service points over the last month, 5.67/match) is the only breakable serve on court and the 2025 scoreline repeats.
Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Lloyd Harris — T Money took Stefanos Tsitsipas at -328
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Stefanos Tsitsipas won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Harris holds a 92%-type hard-court serve line for three sets (he has faced a combined 3 break points in his last two matches) and drags Tsitsipas into tiebreaks, where the August version of Tsitsipas — 56.6% first serves in and 5.2% of service points double-faulted — leaks the two or three free points that decide them, exactly as Félix Auger-Aliassime (193cm, big serve) did to him 6-3 7-5 on 13 Aug.
Oksana Selekhmeteva vs Kamilla Rakhimova — T Money took Kamilla Rakhimova at -161
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Kamilla Rakhimova won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Selekhmeteva reproduces Austin — she beat Rakhimova 6-2 7-5 on hard just 6.2 months ago (the H2H I used: same-surface and inside both 12-month windows, outranking both the 2.4-month grass win and the 24-month-stale 2024 hard meeting) and won again on grass in June, and her US Open R1 already showed the serve leak closing (5 DF, 89% hold), so a left-handed server at 58%-plus with single-figure double faults is a clean, documented path to Rakhimova losing a third straight.
Donna Vekic vs Ann Li — T Money took Ann Li at -142
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Ann Li won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Li's one documented hard-court hole is precisely Vekić's A-game archetype — 2-7 with only 21% of return games won against first-strike servers — so if Vekić's first serve lands and the match becomes a two-tiebreak lottery (her best 2026 hard win was 7-6(4) 7-6(4)), Li may never earn the break she needs.
Anna Kalinskaya vs Xinyu Wang — T Money took Anna Kalinskaya at -250
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Anna Kalinskaya won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Wang repeats her R1 serve-led attack, 71.4% first-serve points won with only two double faults, and pressures a Kalinskaya delivery carrying a 9.3% one-month double-fault rate plus six double faults in R1.
Luca van Assche vs Denis Shapovalov — T Money took Denis Shapovalov at -161
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Denis Shapovalov won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Shapovalov's serve platform is exactly as fragile as it looked in R1 (51% first serves in, 11–13 double faults, 7.1% DF rate over 12mo rising to 8.3% in the last three), and Van Assche's 54% second-serve return plus his documented A-game of attrition breaks him five or six times — the same way Jodar, van de Zandschulp, Carreno Busta and Gea beat him on hard this year — with the 2026 ankle/knee/rib history biting in a long fifth set.
Tommy Paul vs Dino Prizmic — T Money took Tommy Paul at -500
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Tommy Paul won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Prizmic drags this into a fourth and fifth set — his documented strength is exactly attritional length (a 5-set win two days ago, 5-set battles with Fonseca and Duckworth) — and if Paul's first-serve percentage sits at the 55-60% he has run for three months, the break chances at 0.47 per service game accumulate.
Aryna Sabalenka vs Polina Iatcenko — T Money took Aryna Sabalenka at -5000
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Aryna Sabalenka won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Iatcenko’s documented grinder return game, 45% of return points and 41% of return games won, can stretch exchanges and attack Sabalenka’s recently exposed second serve if the favorite’s lower first-serve rate and increased errors persist.
Jiri Lehecka vs Toby Samuel — T Money took Jiri Lehecka at -303
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Jiri Lehecka won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Samuel serves at the level he showed against Machac and holds at 85%+ for four sets, leaving Lehecka — who has won only 4% of return games against genuine first-strike servers on hard over the last 12 months — to win the match in tiebreaks while his own 1mo serve numbers (61.1% first serves in, 50% second-serve points won, double faults at 3.2% of service points) hand back the breaks he needs.
Tomas Martin Etcheverry vs Jacob Fearnley — T Money took Tomas Martin Etcheverry at +116
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Tomas Martin Etcheverry won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Etcheverry's first-serve percentage sat at 61% even in his best match and his three-month record is 3-8, so if that slump reasserts, Fearnley's real return pressure (9 breaks in R1, a hard CH125 final in July) drags this into a four-or-five-set grind of the kind he has twice won from behind in 2026, and Etcheverry has a documented hard-court pattern of losing straightforward matches to clean, low-error ball-strikers of the Nakashima/Borges shape.
Andrea Guerrieri vs Alex De Minaur — T Money took Alex De Minaur at -2500
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Alex De Minaur won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Guerrieri can win if his sharp left-handed return game turns De Minaur's serve into the same grinding matchup that Norrie exploited twice and his improved second serve survives best-of-five pressure.
Ignacio Buse vs Marcos Giron — T Money took Ignacio Buse at -110
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Ignacio Buse won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Giron's documented A-game is exactly the archetype that fills Buse's hard-court loss table — a compact, flat counterpuncher who holds cheaply and attacks a 61%-first-serve, 50%-second-serve delivery (Norrie 6-3 6-3 on Aug 2, Walton 6-4 6-3 on Aug 13, Hijikata, Dzumhur) — and a fresh Giron dragging a five-match, 603-minute title week into a long fourth set is a clean, likely path, not a flashy one.
Jan Choinski vs Botic Van De Zandschulp — T Money took Botic Van De Zandschulp at -333
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Botic Van De Zandschulp won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Choinski's documented 81% hard-court hold and cleaner double-fault baseline can force tiebreaks while Van De Zandschulp's 5.6% double-fault rate and 47% second-serve baseline leak free points.
Daniel Altmaier vs Zachary Svajda — T Money took Zachary Svajda at -137
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Zachary Svajda won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Altmaier reproduces his 81% first-serve efficiency, pressures Svajda's second serve, and exploits the American's poor MID-server matchup, with the old straight-sets hard H2H providing a proven template.
Fabian Marozsan vs Michael Zheng — T Money took Michael Zheng at -143
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Michael Zheng won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Marozsan can reproduce his Kecmanovic serving level, protect near his 81% hard hold baseline and expose Zheng’s weak second serve, a clean documented A-game that can scale over five sets.
Daniil Medvedev vs Sebastian Gorzny — T Money took Daniil Medvedev at -2500
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Daniil Medvedev won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Medvedev's August serve line recurs (55% first serves in, 8 double faults per match), Gorzny holds cheaply behind the big first ball as he did for 79% of games against Collignon, and the match becomes the tiebreak lottery Medvedev has been losing (Damm, Nakashima, van de Zandschulp all took tiebreak-decided sets off him this month) in front of a home crowd.
Daniel Merida Aguilar vs Andrey Rublev — T Money took Andrey Rublev at -192
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Daniel Merida Aguilar won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Mérida’s 25% hard-court return rate, recent baseline aggression, and substantial workload advantage give him a clean path to reproduce the Borges/Cerundolo-style pressure that has beaten Rublev on hard.
Arthur Rinderknech vs Jaume Munar — T Money took Arthur Rinderknech at -227
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Arthur Rinderknech won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Munar's documented A-game is exactly this match — he held 91% against first-strike servers on hard last year, he won the most recent H2H on this surface (Miami R128, Mar 2025, 6-3 7-6(5)), and Rinderknech is 5-9 on hard in 12 months against MID-serve opponents with his hold dropping to 82% and 0.57 break points faced per service game, plus a loss table stuffed with tiebreak defeats (Nakashima 7-6/5-7/7-5, Cerundolo 4-6/7-6/7-6, Medjedovic 7-6/7-6) — if nobody breaks, Munar is the better closer.
Diana Shnaider vs Ka. Pliskova — T Money took Diana Shnaider
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Diana Shnaider won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Pliskova's documented A-game is the free-point serve, and if she cuts the double faults and holds at her 2021-23 rate she can exploit the one genuine hole in Shnaider's hard panel — only 27-31% of return games won against FIRST-STRIKE and MID servers — to drag this into two tiebreaks where a 34-year-old former No. 1's raw ball-striking can steal a best-of-3.
Taylor Townsend vs Taylah Preston — T Money took Taylor Townsend at -303
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Taylor Townsend won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Preston's documented A-game is precisely a return game (39% of return games broken, 57% of second-return points won, 4-of-5 break conversion in R1) and Townsend's first-serve percentage has drifted from 66% on the year to 61.3% in the last month — if that dip returns, Preston gets a diet of second serves and can turn this into the break-trading three-setter Townsend has lost before (Bencic 6-7 7-6 6-4, Baptiste 6-3 6(7)-7 6-3).
Jasmine Paolini vs Lucrezia Stefanini — T Money took Jasmine Paolini at -238
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Jasmine Paolini won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Paolini's foot is the live variable — this is her second match in 53 days on two days' rest after a 1h46 three-setter, and Stefanini's documented A-game (hard court, near-zero unforced errors, 49% of return games won) is precisely the profile that punishes a compromised mover by extending rallies until the second serve and the 5-DF service game crack.
Leylah Fernandez vs Mananchaya Sawangkaew — T Money took Leylah Fernandez at -476
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Leylah Fernandez won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Sawangkaew reproduces her documented A-game from R1 — 69% first serves in, 23 unforced errors, patient depth — and turns this into the long, error-strewn baseline grind that produced Fernandez's 2026 losses to Xiyu Wang and Siniakova, punishing Fernandez's 5.7-6.3% double-fault rate and 47.7% second-serve points won on a day when the serve wobbles.
Sorana Cirstea vs Diane Parry — T Money took Sorana Cirstea at -303
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Sorana Cirstea won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Parry's documented first-strike A-game is a clean loss path because her strong hard-court record against that archetype and aggressive returning can repeatedly reach Cirstea's recently fragile second delivery.
Jessica Pegula vs Sofia Kenin — T Money took Jessica Pegula at -2500
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Jessica Pegula won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Pegula's serve has genuinely softened over the last month after the Cincinnati abdominal timeout and she converted only 4 of 18 break points in R1 while admitting nerves — if she can't convert early and the abdominal flares, Kenin's flat early-ball redirection and documented tiebreak nerve could steal a tight first set and turn this into a three-set coin flip.
Brandon Nakashima vs Alex Michelsen — T Money took Brandon Nakashima at -164
2026-09-02 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Alex Michelsen won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Michelsen's documented A-game is return-first attrition — he wins 37% of return points and 53% on second serve, better than Nakashima's return — so if Nakashima's first-serve slide (58.8% over the last month) reappears and feeds him a diet of second serves, Michelsen can stretch this into a four-hour, four-or-five-set grind where fourteen Masters matches in four weeks finally bite.
Ella Seidel vs Yuliia Starodubtseva — T Money took Yuliia Starodubtseva at -208
2026-09-01 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Yuliia Starodubtseva won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Starodubtseva is a GRINDER server (index 0.36, 0–1 aces per match) and Seidel's single best documented hard split is exactly against that archetype (10-5, ret-games-won 36%, hold 66%) — so a rested Seidel redlining flat returns against a serve that gives her a free look, versus an opponent who just took a 6-4 6-1 beating and travelled from Monterrey, is a clean, matched path to the upset, and Starodubtseva's Kalieva (6-3 6-1) and Waltert losses prove she has a no-show floor against lower-ranked players.
Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Rinky Hijikata — T Money took Felix Auger-Aliassime at -833
2026-08-31 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Felix Auger-Aliassime won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Hijikata holds serve at the 87% clip he has managed against first-strike servers, drags the match into tiebreaks and a four-hour physical war, and Auger-Aliassime — 40 days off with a back injury, 8.0% double-fault rate in his three matches back, and already a cramping best-of-5 retirement this season at the Australian Open — breaks down before the return channel matters.
Marco Trungelliti vs Juncheng Shang — T Money took Marco Trungelliti at +202
2026-08-31 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Marco Trungelliti won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Shang serves as he did in the first two sets against Rublev and plays first-strike lefty tennis from the baseline, in which case he holds comfortably against a 25%-break returner and closes this in three or four sets long before match-fitness or five-set distance ever becomes the question.
Dalibor Svrcina vs Valentin Royer — T Money took Valentin Royer at -104
2026-08-31 · US Open · BET
Lost. Dalibor Svrcina won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Royer's return is bad enough (26% of first-serve return points won) that he may fail to punish a 69% holder, letting Svrcina — sharp, on-site, and 3-0 this week — drag it into tiebreaks and long sets, the exact pattern in which Bonzi, O'Connell and Tirante all beat Royer on hard this season.
Caty McNally vs Anouk Koevermans — T Money took Caty McNally at -667
2026-08-31 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Caty McNally won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Koevermans repeats her qualifying-final serve number (8 aces, 76% behind the first ball, ~78% hold) and steals one break a set off McNally's accelerating double-fault leak (3.67/match at 12mo → 5.50/match and 7.5% of service points in the last month) — exactly the archetype where McNally's own hard split is worst (3-4, only 29% of return games won vs top-20% servers) and exactly the tiebreak-heavy match a low-return, high-hold player needs.
Simona Waltert vs Nadia Podoroska — T Money took Simona Waltert at -222
2026-08-31 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Nadia Podoroska won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Waltert's hard-court line versus low-serve grinders is 1-3 (held 61%, return games won 22%) and her serve is currently leaking double faults at 11.6%, so a Podoroska who serves at her Seidel level (74.5% in, 6/6 break points saved) can win a low-quality baseline match without ever needing her clay A-game.
Carlos Alcaraz vs Roman Safiullin — T Money took Carlos Alcaraz at -833
2026-08-31 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Carlos Alcaraz won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Safiullin, genuinely match-sharp from four hard-court matches, serves 74% first serves in and drags a rusty, sleeve-wearing Alcaraz into a tiebreak-heavy four-hour match in which the wrist or the timing — not the opponent — decides it, the way it did in their 2023 Paris meeting.
Diana Shnaider vs Daria Snigur — T Money took Diana Shnaider at -308
2026-08-31 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Diana Shnaider won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Snigur holds at the 77% clip she has shown against grinder-serves on hard and gets to the Shnaider second serve early, and Shnaider — who has already lost 2026 hard-court openers to Alycia Parks and Iva Jovic at 65.6% first-serve-in and a 4.8% double-fault rate — sprays her way into the same first-round trap against an opponent with 15 days' rest and nothing to lose.
Ann Li vs Antonia Ruzic — T Money took Ann Li at -256
2026-08-31 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Ann Li won.
Documented risk, written before the result: The realest path is Li's serve reverting to its late-July shape (52.8% first serves in, 4.17 DF/match) and her Monterrey break-point conversion (3/12) repeating, letting a fresh Ruzic — who wins 43% of return points and had a full week off — grind out a scrappy three-setter against an opponent playing her fourth match week in a row.
Viktorija Golubic vs Diane Parry — T Money took Viktorija Golubic at +103
2026-08-31 · US Open · BET
Lost. Diane Parry won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Parry’s first-strike serve has a clean, documented path to controlling Golubic if its recent first-serve efficiency survives the short turnaround.
Damir Dzumhur vs Hubert Hurkacz — T Money took Hubert Hurkacz at -1429
2026-08-31 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Hubert Hurkacz won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Hurkacz's documented failure mode is losing one-break, tiebreak-decided hard-court matches early in draws (Quinn, Kovacevic and Hanfmann all beat him in an R128 this year), and his second serve is currently leaking — 51.8% won with 4.75 double faults per match over the last month — so a rested Dzumhur who blocks returns deep, extends rallies and steals two tiebreaks can drag this into a fifth set where the 34-year-old's grinding is at its most dangerous.
Alejandro Tabilo vs Yannick Hanfmann — T Money took Yannick Hanfmann at +112
2026-08-31 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Alejandro Tabilo won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Tabilo can repeat the Struff template, hold every service game behind his left-handed first ball, and find the two breaks needed against Hanfmann’s documented 78% hard hold against MID servers.
Sorana Cirstea vs Julia Grabher — T Money took Sorana Cirstea at -1538
2026-08-31 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Sorana Cirstea won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Grabher's documented A-game is precisely return pressure and clinical break conversion (5/5 vs Krueger, 5/7 vs Crawley), and Cîrstea's own 1-month panel is the matching vulnerability — DF at 7.3% of service points (5.75/match) and second-serve points won collapsing to 37.0% — so a rusty, double-fault-prone opening service performance after 12 days idle against an opponent already grooved on hard is the realistic loss path.
Anna Blinkova vs Anna Kalinskaya — T Money took Anna Kalinskaya at -333
2026-08-31 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Anna Kalinskaya won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Kalinskaya's back/hip flares or her month-long first-serve collapse (53.1% in, 7 double faults a match) persists after 14 days off, handing a returner who wins 55% of second-serve points enough free games to drag a cold, rusty seed into the kind of decider Blinkova has been living in all summer.
Thiago Agustin Tirante vs Adrian Mannarino — T Money took Thiago Agustin Tirante at -227
2026-08-30 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Adrian Mannarino won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Mannarino can reproduce the flat left-handed redirection that produced his p94 hard-court win over Tien, exploiting Tirante's 51.7% recent first-serve-in rate and converting a low-break match through tiebreaks.
Raphael Collignon vs Sebastian Gorzny — T Money took Raphael Collignon at -1111
2026-08-30 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Sebastian Gorzny won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Gorzny can reproduce the 12-ace serving he showed against Hewitt, exploit Collignon’s weak return and recent 41% second-serve yield, and decide sets in tiebreaks, matching Collignon’s four-loss first-strike count, which remains too thin for a rate.
Petra Marcinko vs Kimberly Birrell — T Money took Kimberly Birrell at -146
2026-08-30 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Kimberly Birrell won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Marcinko hits through Birrell's mid-pace the way she did at Eastbourne two months ago (6-1 6-4) while Birrell's misfiring second serve — 34% of points won on it at Monterrey, 10 double faults — gets broken early and often, and the match never lasts long enough for Birrell's rally tolerance to matter.
Mariano Navone vs Novak Djokovic — T Money took Novak Djokovic at -1053
2026-08-30 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Mariano Navone won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Navone extends this into a four-hour attrition match and Djokovic's body gives out exactly as it did from two sets up against Fonseca at Roland Garros and mid-match against Tirante two weeks ago — the one channel where a 39-year-old's documented 2026 failure mode meets Navone's grinding A-game.
Elina Svitolina vs Solana Sierra — T Money took Elina Svitolina at -2222
2026-08-30 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Elina Svitolina won.
Documented risk, written before the result: The right ankle — surgically repaired with two screws in 2024, re-injured in Toronto and unable to be started on 18 Aug — holds up for 39 minutes of short-format doubles but not for a best-of-3 lateral grind against a fit 22-year-old who extends rallies, producing a compromised level or an in-match retirement rather than a Sierra shot-making upset.
Alycia Parks vs Taylah Preston — T Money took Alycia Parks at -129
2026-08-30 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Taylah Preston won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Parks' serve craters the way it did against Li (48.7% in, 11 doubles, 0/14 on break points) and Preston simply returns and extends rallies — precisely her documented A-game at 42% of return games won on hard — reproducing the Golubic 6-2 6-2 / Galfi / Havlickova pattern that dominates Parks' loss table.
Ignacio Buse vs Benjamin Bonzi — T Money took Benjamin Bonzi at -147
2026-08-28 · Winston-Salem · Prediction
Lost. Ignacio Buse won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Buse sustains his current return A-game, exposes Bonzi’s second-serve volatility and removes the narrow hold advantage driving the pick.
Elvina Kalieva vs Vendula Valdmannova — T Money took Elvina Kalieva
2026-08-28 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Elvina Kalieva won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Valdmannova generated 32 break chances and 13 breaks here, giving her a clean return-led path if she reaches Kalieva's second serve and recreates the pressure behind Kalieva's recent hard-court losses.
Tristan Schoolkate vs Liam Draxl — T Money took Liam Draxl
2026-08-28 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Tristan Schoolkate won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Schoolkate can ride his 81% hard hold and first-strike serve through a short match, then attack Draxl's 71% hold, matching Draxl's documented but thin 0-2 hard result against first-strike servers.
Colton Smith vs Hugo Gaston — T Money took Hugo Gaston
2026-08-28 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Hugo Gaston won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Smith can win by sustaining the roughly 75% first-serve-points-won level from his two earned victories, exploiting Gaston's recent 42% to 46% first-in rate and deciding the short format through another tiebreak or late break.
Kristina Liutova vs Martyna Kubka — T Money took Kristina Liutova
2026-08-28 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Kristina Liutova won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Kubka repeats her serve-led hard-court A-game from Q2, suppresses Liutova’s return edge, and attacks Liutova’s vulnerable second serve before sustained return pressure develops.
Pablo Llamas Ruiz vs Lloyd Harris — T Money took Lloyd Harris
2026-08-28 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Lloyd Harris won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Llamas Ruiz can hold at his current-event level, extend Harris through return games and turn Harris's documented 11-match workload into exactly the movement and second-serve decline that suits his grinder A-game.
Harriet Dart vs Heather Watson — T Money took Heather Watson
2026-08-28 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Harriet Dart won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Dart's documented A-game, 46% return points won and 39% breaks, provides a clean path through Watson's double-fault exposure and 2:51 next-day turnaround.
Mary Stoiana vs Yue Yuan — T Money took Yue Yuan
2026-08-27 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Mary Stoiana won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Yuan wins the opening set and folds — her loss table shows at least six defeats after taking set one, most recently on hard to Kayla Day fifteen days ago (won it 6-2, lost 7-5 6-3), and Stoiana is exactly the opponent to punish that, a 37%-break returner winning 58% of second-serve return points who just came back from a set down against Swan.
Francesca Jones vs Joanna Garland — T Money took Joanna Garland
2026-08-27 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Francesca Jones won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Jones's documented A-game is return grinding (40% of return points, 31% of return games won on hard), and Garland's serve is only MID with a 49% second-serve-points-won rate and a 26% broken rate — so Jones cracking that serve three or four times a set and winning off her own patchy hold is a clean and genuinely likely path, not a stretch.
Rei Sakamoto vs Kei Nishikori — T Money took Rei Sakamoto
2026-08-27 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Rei Sakamoto won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Nishikori's documented A-game — early-strike return-and-redirect counterpunching on hard, his best surface — drags a 20-year-old with a patchy final-qualifying-round record (Faria, Vukic, Basilashvili, Kopriva, Buse all beat him at this stage) into rallies in a best-of-three where one break per set decides it, especially if Sakamoto's first-serve rate regresses from 70% toward his 63% baseline.
Mia Ristic vs Himeno Sakatsume — T Money took Himeno Sakatsume
2026-08-27 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Himeno Sakatsume won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Ristic repeats Q2's earned pattern of 73.5% first-serve points won, one double fault and 52.4% return points won against Sakatsume's vulnerable second serve, aided by the lighter current-event workload.
Arantxa Rus vs Susan Bandecchi — T Money took Susan Bandecchi
2026-08-27 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Arantxa Rus won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Rus repeats yesterday's serving — 80%+ first serves in behind the left-handed delivery and a 90% hold rate — and Bandecchi, who won just 28% of first-serve return points against Hruncakova and needed nine opponent double faults to generate her breaks, never gets to her serve.
Shintaro Mochizuki vs Francesco Passaro — T Money took Francesco Passaro
2026-08-27 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Francesco Passaro won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Passaro is four matches back from a six-month wrist layoff with only 55 hard-court service games in 12 months, and if his serve regresses toward the 7-double-fault version he showed against Gill, Mochizuki's slightly better return (26% break rate, return rating 158) breaks him twice in a nervy deciding qualifying round and wins a break-trading best-of-3.
Lucie Havlickova vs Nao Hibino — T Money took Nao Hibino
2026-08-27 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Lucie Havlickova won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Havlickova is 178cm with real first-strike pace, and that is precisely the archetype on Hibino's loss table (Tauson, Dolehide, Bucsa, Galfi, Townsend all beat her by hitting through her), so if the Czech's first serve lands anywhere near 65% she takes time away from a 163cm retriever and the H2H reverses in straight sets.
Mackenzie McDonald vs Dalibor Svrcina — T Money took Mackenzie McDonald
2026-08-27 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Dalibor Svrcina won.
Documented risk, written before the result: In the one split that actually matches this opponent, McDonald's hard-court numbers **vs low-serve grinders** collapse to 72% hold while facing 0.59 break points per service game and a 5-6 record — and breaking a low-ace server 33% of the time is precisely Svrcina's documented A-game on hard, so a straightforward return-pressure win for the Czech is the modal alternative, not a fluke.
Tamara Zidansek vs Bianca Andreescu — T Money took Bianca Andreescu
2026-08-27 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Tamara Zidansek won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Andreescu is a documented **1-5 against low-serve grinders on hard over 12 months**, holding just 59% and facing 0.87 break points per service game, and Zidansek's A-game is exactly that — absorb, extend, break twice, and drag it into a third set she has repeatedly proven she can win.
Nishesh Basavareddy vs Arthur Gea — T Money took Arthur Gea
2026-08-27 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Nishesh Basavareddy won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Basavareddy repeats his Mikrut serving night — 9/9 holds, zero break points faced — and best-of-3 turns into a two-tiebreak lottery that punishes Gea's genuinely declining first-serve-in (60.7% 12mo → 56.5% 6mo → 56.0% 1mo, 7 double faults yesterday) against a returner who wins 50% of second-serve return points.
Harry Wendelken vs Vilius Gaubas — T Money took Harry Wendelken
2026-08-27 · US Open · Prediction
Won. Harry Wendelken won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Gaubas simply repeats Wednesday's serving day — 81% on first serve, 89% hold, two double faults — and in a best-of-3 that one clean level is enough to hold Wendelken's 58%-first-in, 3.6%-DF serve to a single break per set, with the fresher legs (two straight-setters against Wendelken's three-set Q2) deciding a tiebreak.
Jurij Rodionov vs Jacob Fearnley — T Money took Jacob Fearnley
2026-08-27 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Jurij Rodionov won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Rodionov's lefty serve holds at 85%-plus while Fearnley repeats the 7-to-9 double faults he hit in both quali wins, and Rodionov — whose second-serve return (51% won) is his best return shot and outranks Fearnley's second-serve defense (46% won) — converts one break per set in a best-of-3 with no time to recover.
Mariam Bolkvadze vs Anouk Koevermans — T Money took Mariam Bolkvadze
2026-08-27 · US Open · Prediction
Lost. Anouk Koevermans won.
Documented risk, written before the result: Koevermans plays her documented A-game — holds near her 78% hard-court rate behind a 7.3% ace serve and simply waits on Bolkvadze's 11.6% double-fault rate (13 DFs in one match on Monday) to gift one break per set, which is exactly how Bolkvadze got run over by Krueger, Naef and Korpatsch.
