The latest 2023 U.S. Open qualifying matchup we’re betting on today is Andrea Vavassori and Emilio Nava. Vavassori is ranked 164 on the ATP and faces a red-hot Nava, who just logged a five-match win streak at Stanford last weekend before losing in the Finals to 105th-ranked Constant Lestienne. Both players are right-handed, while Vavassori uses a one-handed backhand that differs from Nava’s two-hand grip.

Andrea Vavassori vs. Emilio Nava Prediction
Vavassori has marginally improved his ranking with performances since August 2022, climbing from 179 to 164, but he’s lost five consecutive matchups entering this matchup against Nava. This is why oddsmakers have Vavassori’s moneyline odds at +154, making him a moderate underdog. Nava endured several close wins en route to his appearance in the Stanford Finals a week ago, showcasing his ability to operate in pressure-packed moments. He sits at -190 on the moneyline against Vavassori ahead of this evening's match.
Despite entering on a win drought, Vavassori holds the edge in first serves won, break points saved, and service games won. He also has a higher average percentage in return games won and break points converted. I believe this line is mispriced, offering us a lot of value on Vavassori's outright win probability at +154 moneyline odds on FanDuel Sportsbook. Don't be afraid of the cold streak; everyone eventually breaks out of it. Plus, Nava could be more tired due to playing more matches en route to his loss in last week's final.
Let's ride with Vavassori as the underdog to hit a quality plus-odds bet on Thursday night at the 2023 U.S. Open Qualifier.
