Two top-20 players will clash at the US Open on Friday, when Marta Kostyuk, ranked as the world number 11, will take on Ekaterina Alexandrova, who is currently the world number 19. This should be a hig-quality match between two in-form players. The Ukrainian will be looking to make the fourth round of this event for the second time in her career. The Russian is also hoping to reach the fourth round for a second time.
The early odds ahead of this match appear to be a little out of whack. In other words, Ekaterina Alexandrova deserves more respect. The Russian player has never lost to Marta Kostyuk, nor has she made a habit of losing matches in straight sets on a hard surface, so much so that she's well worth betting on to, if nothing else, avoid losing this in straight sets.

Our Marta Kostyuk vs Ekaterina Alexandrova Prediction
Marta Kostyuk is a strong player, there's no doubting that and she's made light work of reaching the third round. However, she doesn't have a wonderful hard-court record against top-20 players in recent times, winning none of her last six such matches in straight sets. At the same time, Ekaterina Alexandrova knows how to avoid straight-set defeats, even against players of Kostyuk's quality.
All things considered, the pair are a little more closely matched than the early odds suggest. it's worth betting on 'Ekaterina Alexandrova +1.5 Set Handicap' at anything bigger than -133.
Our Marta Kostyuk vs Ekaterina Alexandrova Pick: Ekaterina Alexandrova +1.5 Set Handicap.
