3 Key match details

This second-round match at the 2023 US Open should be a great contest to watch. As for the most appropriate ATP US Open 2023 predictions, there are two markets that I feel you should cover. Both are detailed below and accompanied with justifications and odds:

**Hijikata to win a set – yes @ 10*/21 (1.48)***

Rinky Hijikata might have gained entry into the main draw as a wildcard, but the Aussie can play some great tennis when he finds his form. Because of that, and because Fucsovics has a tendency to play a loose set here and there, I can certainly see Hijikata grabbing a set from the Hungarian in this one.

**Fucsovics -5.5 games handicap @ 10*/11 (1.91)***

Although I believe that Hijikata is capable of grabbing a set, I can’t see him beating Marton Fucsovics in this match. In fact, Fucsovics is capable of playing at a much higher level than his lower-ranked opponent, and this was shown by his win over the 31st seed in the first round. Therefore, I feel that this handicap market could lead to a solid return.

The odds in this article were correct at the time of writing, and the odds are subject to change. We recommend checking with your bookmaker before placing a bet.

Rinky Hijikata is ranked 110 in the world at the moment, which is why he was dependent on securing a wildcard for a direct main draw entry. Additionally, he is just 22 years of age, so he is relatively inexperienced at this level. Nevertheless, he did beat Kotov in four sets in his opening round, and he played decent tennis to get the job done.
