We're getting an evenly ranked matchup between Adrian Andreev and Nerman Fatic at the 2023 U.S. Open. Andreev sits at 192 in the current ATP rankings, while Nerman Fatic is ranked 195. Fatic has a couple more years of experience as a professional on the ATP Tour, but Andreev has won a matchup more recently, defeating Samir Banerjee in the Round of 32 in Stanford last week. Banerjee ranked outside the top 1000 at 1016, so Andreev's subsequent loss to 128th-ranked Aleksander Kovacevic in the Round of 16 makes sense.

Adrian Andreev vs. Nerman Fatic Prediction
Since August 2022, Fatic has ascended from 294 to 195 in the ATP rankings, versus Andreev, who has made an even bigger leap from 353 to his current rank at 192. The right-handed Bulgarian is currently favored to win outright at -210 odds at FanDuel Sportsbook, entering this matchup 2-7 against right-handed players. Conversely, at +174 odds, Fatic is a bit of a value since he's 2-3 on hard court surfaces, compared to 2-7 for Andreev.
Andreev holds the edge in oddsmakers' eyes as a -210 favorite, but he's also .500 after winning his first set, while Fatic is 2-1 when holding a lead after the opening set. Andreev also has a 1-6 record after losing his first set, compared to a 1-3 record for Fatic. Neither player has managed to go above .500 in these metrics thus far, but Fatic is 3-4 in career wins and losses. Andreev is 2-7 but has the more recent win, albeit against a player ranked outside the top 1,000.
I'm rolling with the underdog in this matchup and betting on Nerman Fatic to pull off the upset at +174 moneyline odds.
