There are several qualifiers hoping to make their mark at the US Open on Monday, one of which is Tamara Zidansek, who takes on Maria Timofeeva. This is an opportunity for the Slovenian player, who is currently ranked at 146 in the world, to prove that she can cut it against top-100 opposition on the big stage.
At early odds of +175, Tamara Zidansek isn't quite getting the respect that she deserves. In other words, the Slovenian rates as a value bet having already got to the grips with the Flushing Meadows conditions, coming through no fewer than three qualifying matches. At the very least, Zidansek should be full of confidence having defeated a previous US Open winner last time out.

Our Tamara Zidansek vs Maria Timofeeva Prediction
Having already played three matches at Flushing Meadows, one of which was against a former US Open winner, Tamara Zidanšek should be nicely in the swing of things, which cannot really be said for Maria Timofeeva, who has not played a competitive match in a week. If we also consider how well the Slovenian has been performing against higher-ranked players of late, we can conclude that odds of +175 are simply not a fair reflection of her chance. Value seekers should bet the lower-ranked player to emerge victorious at anything bigger than +125.
