Lorenzo Musetti vs Arthur Fery US Open Tips, Prediction & Live Stream
Arthur Fery is backed to cover with a big +6.5 start against Lorenzo Musetti, who has missed two of the three slams this year through injury and has yet to get back to his best form. Smaller stake on a five-setter playing out in this first round encounter.
Musetti still seems vulnerable to me.
The Italian has only won three matches in a row once since January's Australian Open - that did come in his last tournament in Cincinnati, but he faced two qualifiers and nobody ranked above No. 65 in the world.
That doesn't do much to convince me that Musetti is back.
Fery comes into this contest with a lot of confidence and momentum, winning 10 of his last 13 matches following that memorable run to the Wimbledon semi-finals, while he backed it up with a runner-up finish in Winston-Salem last week.
The Brit seems to have settled into tour-life and considering Musetti's recent struggles, the Brit looks a good shout to cover with a big +6.5 games start.

Musetti has been restricted to just 29 matches this year.
The Italian was flying to begin the season, making the final of Hong Kong and the quarter-finals of the Australian Open, before injury forced him to retire while leading Novak Djokovic.
Musetti hasn't been able to recapture his best level of tennis since returning to the tour, while he also missed Roland Garros and Wimbledon with more injury problems.
The 24-year-old has got a decent amount of matchplay under his belt this summer, going down to Rafael Jodar in the quarter-finals of Washington and second round of Canada, while Frances Tiafoe got the better of him in Cincinnati - his first event since January where he won three matches in a row.
Musetti's best US Open result was last year's run to the quarter-finals, where he went down to Jannik Siner.

It's been a whirlwind last few months for Fery, who has gone from outside the top 100 to the cusp of the top 30 and being seeded for slams.
Of course it all started during the grass swing, with Fery making the quarter-finals of Queens before a magical run to the Wimbledon semi-finals, where he beat the likes of Grigor Dimitrov and Flavio Cobolli before falling to Alexander Zverev.
Fery has kept the momentum rolling, making the second round of Cincinnati (losing a tight two-setter to Alex de Minaur) before reaching his first ATP final in Winston-Salem, where he went down to Ignacio Buse.
The Brit is making his US Open main draw debut, coming into the tournament with a 10-3 record in his last 13 matches.
