The US Open continues on Thursday and we've picked out three players to back as part of our tennis accumulator.

US Open 2020 Day Three Accumulator Predictions

In the early stages of the tournament, plenty of seemingly mis-matched players go head-to-head and here we select who should prevail at Flushing Meadows.

Our three-match accumulator could pay out £35.47 from a £10 stake.

Taylor Fritz vs Gilles Simon Betting Tips

Taylor Fritz to win - BET NOW

Taylor Fritz won the US Open junior event in 2015 and his quest to win a first senior Grand Slam can gain momentum with a second-round victory over veteran Frenchman Gilles Simon.

Progress has been a little slower than expected for Fritz, who has some notable strengths to his game, including a big serve and powerful groundstrokes off both wings. But he showed encouraging signs in 2019 with five victories over former top ten players (previously he had registered just one) and may be ready to make a Grand Slam breakthrough, having never advanced beyond the third round at any of the major events.

Fritz overcame a nervy start to see off first-round opponent Dominik Koepfer 6-7 6-3 6-2 6-4 and his power should allow him to dominate Simon, who is competing in the US Open main draw for the 14th time.

Nothing tends to come easily against Simon, who prides himself on making very few unforced errors, but, at the age of 35, the Frenchman may be slowing down. Simon picked up the last of his 14 career titles in September 2018, winning the Moselle Open, and has been knocked out at the second-round stage in each of his last five Grand Slam appearances.

The baseliner overcame a teenage Fritz 6-4 6-4 in a round of 16 clash in Nice in May 2016 but a very different contest is on the cards in New York and Fritz should be backed to turn the tables.

Anastasija Sevastova vs Marta Kostyuk Betting Tips

Anastasija Sevastova to win - BET NOW

Experience meets youth in the women's second-round contest between 30-year-old Latvian Anastasija Sevastova and 18-year-old Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk - and it could be the extra knowhow of Sevastova which determines the outcome.

Sevastova has had a largely miserable 2020, suffering seven first-round exits, but seems to have put it all behind her upon arrival in New York. She dug deep to overcome talented 16-year-old American Cori Gauff 6-3 5-7 6-4 and that may just be the start of a positive tournament for Sevastova, who was a US Open semi-finalist in 2018.

Kostyuk is a rising star, who won the Australian Open juniors in 2017 and was a comfortable 6-1 6-2 winner over Daria Kasatkina in the opening round. But she tends to blow hot and cold and suffered first-round defeats in Lyon, losing to Ysaline Bonaventure (ranked 122nd), and Prague, losing to Camila Giorgi (ranked 71st).

Kostyuk's lack of consistency may cost her against Sevastova, who seems to have refocused after a poor start to the year.

Angelique Kerber vs Anna-Lena Friedsam Betting Tips

Angelique Kerber to win - BET NOW

Angelique Kerber has had a couple of lean years since winning Wimbledon (her third Grand Slam triumph) in 2018 but is playing well enough to overcome compatriot Anna-Lena Friedsam.

The reduced 2020 schedule may have helped Kerber, who was suffering from hamstring problems at the start of the year. She was sharp enough to defeat Ajla Tomljanovic 6-4 6-4 in the opening round and should have too much class for world number 109 Friedsam, who she has beaten in the two previous meetings - winning 6-2 7-6 in Nuremburg in May 2014 and 6-0 6-4 at the 2018 Australian Open.
