Day one prognostications for the US Open, betting guidance, and odds: Venerable French player Mannarino might deliver a vintage performance

The US Open tennis tournament is set to kick off this Sunday, August 24, at the iconic Flushing Meadows in New York City. With top players like Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka ready to take the court, this year's event promises to be an unforgettable spectacle.

In one of the highly anticipated first-round matches, Alexandra Eala, the 20-year-old who won the Junior US Open title in 2022, will face Clara Tauson, the world number 15. Eala has been in impressive form lately, having taken former Wimbledon champions Barbora Krejcikova and Marketa Vondrousova to deciding sets in her subsequent two matches. Tauson, on the other hand, is currently in good form, highlighted by her semi-final run in Montreal. This promises to be a tough first-round test for both players.

In another exciting match, Adrian Mannarino, aged 37, who won five matches in Cincinnati, including scalps of Jordan Thompson, Tomas Machac, and Tommy Paul, before losing to Jannik Sinner, is predicted to beat Tallon Griekspoor. Griekspoor has lost four out of his last five matches, with his only win being against Andrea Pellegrino.
