3 Key match details

Goffin is ranked much lower than Machac at 78 in the world, but his level is much higher than what this number suggests. As for Machac, he is ranked 39 right now, and he’s just taken out one of the home favourites in the previous round with a fine display.

That being said, I’ve scoped out a couple of high-value markets for you to consider going into this game:

Over 36.5 games @ 4/5 (1.80)

If both of these players bring their A-game, it’s certainly possible for the match to consist of more than 36.5 games. This could occur if the match goes just four sets – depending on the set scores. However, since I think it could go to five sets, this market displays great value.

Five total sets @ 23/10 (3.30)

I know that shooting for five sets is a gamble, but based on their previous meeting, this could well occur. Goffin and Machac went the distance at Wimbledon 2024, and they are very similar in terms of their playing level. Therefore, we’ve got all the right ingredients for a five-setter.

David Goffin vs Tomas Machac odds

The latest odds show us that Goffin has a 42.10% chance of winning this match, while the probability for Machac is higher at 65.20%.

Veteran vs youth – who will advance to the fourth round between Goffin and Machac?

Let me share a few more details on these guys before you decide to wager on either of my proposed markets:

David Goffin preview

Goffin is a guy who has been on tour for a long time. He’s firmly a veteran at this point, and we all know what kind of tennis he can produce when he’s on form. Goffin has looked decent in his first two rounds of the US Open, too, beating Tabilo (22nd seed) and Mannarino to get here.

Tomas Machac preview

Machac has made a name for himself on the ATP Tour in the 2024 season. The 23-year-old is now a top 40 player, and he has reached the third round without dropping a set. Most impressively, he took down Korda (16th seed) in commanding fashion in round two to make it this far.

Goffin vs Machac head to head

With just one meeting in the past, there isn’t much in the way of history between Goffin and Machac. However, this meeting was at Wimbledon earlier this year, and Machac edged that one in five sets. Therefore, the stage is set for what could be a very close contest in the third round here, given that Machac leads just 1-0 overall.
