Alexander Blockx and Francisco Cerundolo meet in the US Open fourth round on Monday at Flushing Meadows, with first serve listed for 1:00 p.m. ET. Blockx enters as a -156 moneyline favorite, while Cerundolo returns +128 after producing one of the tournament’s biggest comebacks against Taylor Fritz.
Cerundolo erased a two-set deficit to beat Fritz 3-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. That followed another five-set victory over Jan-Lennard Struff, leaving the Argentine with consecutive marathon matches entering Monday. His forehand remains a serious weapon, but repeatedly digging out of early holes creates a difficult foundation for another demanding matchup.

Alexander Blockx vs. Francisco Cerundolo Prediction
Blockx delivered his own statement against Flavio Cobolli. After dropping the opening set, the Belgian controlled the next three 6-3, 6-0, 6-3. The response demonstrated his ability to sustain pressure once he found his range, particularly when his serve gave him opportunities to attack the next ball.
There is also a useful head-to-head reference. Blockx defeated Cerundolo 7-6(8), 6-2 in Madrid earlier this season, winning their only previous meeting on clay. Hard courts change the conditions, but that result establishes that Blockx can withstand Cerundolo’s forehand and find enough openings to dictate the matchup himself.
The opening set is central to this bet. Cerundolo has lost it in each of his last two matches, while Blockx won the first set in both of his opening two rounds. Blockx needs to establish his serve immediately and make Cerundolo defend before the Argentine can settle into extended forehand exchanges. The accumulated workload makes another sluggish Cerundolo start a reasonable angle.
Alexander Blockx vs. Francisco Cerundolo Best Bet
- Best Bet: Blockx Wins First Set + Moneyline (+120) Check out the best odds at DraftKings Sportsbook
Blockx’s own slow start against Cobolli is the concern, and Cerundolo has already shown that an early deficit will not discourage him. Still, the Belgian offers the more appealing combination of serving potential, a lighter recent workload and a previous win in this matchup. Taking the opening set and converting that advantage into victory fits the expected match better than demanding a sweep.
