Tuesday’s US Open tips: Del Potro and Stephens take centre stage

Odds and tips ahead of quarter-finals at Flushing Meadows

The last eight have been decided. More star-studded names have fallen by the wayside with Maria Sharapova and the world number two Roger Federer now out of the competition.

Federer’s was thwarted by Aussie John Millman who now faces Novak Djokovic in the quarters tomorrow. But first Juan Martin del Potro and Sloane Stephens are amongst the big names in action today.

The Coral News Team look at the four big singles ties to be played today…

Juan Martin del Potro to beat John Isner in three sets – 5/2

Following Federer’s exit, del Potro is now 11/2 third favourite to win the tournament.

He comes up against John Isner in the last eight who has beaten him on the hard-courts in the last two meetings on the surface.

Del Potro did get one over on his American counterpart at Roland Garros in straight sets earlier this summer.

The Argentine will have to combat Isner’s huge serve but the former US Open champion could see the job through.

Sloane Stephens to beat Anastasija Sevastova in straight sets – 10/11

Sloane Stephens is fast becoming one of the most influential players in the women’s game.

However, her opponent surely won’t play as poorly in her defeat to the American in Montreal last month.
