Wednesday’s US Open tips: Can Millman cause another upset?

Odds and preview ahead of quarter-finals

The US open is warming up in more ways than one. John Millman and Rafael Nadal both commented on the humidity on court in their recent wins.

We see the second flurry of quarter-finals take place today with Marin Cilic, Novak Djokovic and Madison Keys all in action.

The Coral News Team serve up some tips for today’s action…

Naomi Osaka to beat Lesya Tsurenko in straight sets – Evens

The pair have never met before but Osaka is the favourite coming into this one.

The 20-year-old has impressed with her energy and relentless defence.

She comes up against Tsurenko nine years her senior. She beat Caroline Wozniacki in the earlier rounds before struggling to a win over Marketa Vondrousouva.

If Osaka maintains her consistent form, she could be good for a first Grand Slam semi-final of her blossoming career.

Marin Cilic to beat Kei Nishikori in four sets – 3/1

Cilic will have taken a lot of confidence from his straight-sets win over David Goffin in the last round.

Kei Nishikori will represent a different sort of challenge and beat Cilic at the Monte Carlo Masters earlier this year.

However, the Croatian has won in both of the most recent meetings on the hard courts with his aggressive forehand a big threat.
