The best sports bets for Tuesday 5 September

Taylor Fritz does not win a set vs. Novak Djokovic (1.97-1)

Taylor Fritz brings crushing pace to the US Open. In the first three rounds, not only did he win all three of his matches, but he did so by holding his opponents to just 0, 1, and 2 games in each of those rounds. For his part, in the round of 16 he beat the amazing Dominic Stricker 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4.

Of course, none of the opponents the American has faced are anywhere near the youngster’s level number one in the world. and although novak djokovic He has already suffered greatly against a lesser opponent like Laszlo Jerethen it knocked three sets to each of his other three opponents at this US Open.

Nole has 7-0 record against Fritzincluding a potential 6-0 and 6-4 in Cincinnati does more than two weeks. Moreover, the Serb has won 15 out of 17 sets which they have faced including 8 in a row.

bet on a Djokovic triumphs in three sets offers a more than interesting odds of 1.97 to 1 on DAZN Bet.

Handicap -1.5 sets for Francis Tiafoe vs. Ben Shelton (1.75 to 1)

To the other party US Open Quarterfinals this Tuesday, Americans face Francis Tiafoe and Ben Shelton. The logical victory is on Tiafoe’s side, but since his victory does not offer significant chances, it is more convenient to resort to his selection disadvantage.

Leading -1.5 sets, Tiafoe’s win pays 1.75 to 1 at DAZN Bet. What does this mean? That the world number 10 must win the match three or four sets.

Shelton had a better-than-expected US Open, but his record against Top 10 opponents isn’t great. in 2023 he missed all four games he played, all of them on hard courts, against Holger Rohn, Taylor Fritz, Carlos Alcaraz and Stefano Tsitsipas. After all, Shelton could only win 2 of 10 sets in these meetings.

For his part, Tiafoe usually has no setbacks ahead unseeded opponents on hard courts Grand Slam (Australia and United States): in his career he accumulates 18 wins in 19 matches -lost only to Alex De Minaur at the 2018 US Open- in such duels. Furthermore, only 3 of those 18 wins took five sets.

Over 169.5 points in Germany vs. Latvia (1.89 to 1)

Germany and Latvia face for her quarterfinals of the basketball world cup, this Wednesday first thing in Spain (10:45). Therefore, it makes sense to place this bet during the day on Tuesday and a very attractive option is to go for more than 169.5 total points in the match, which pays 1.89 to 1 on DAZN Bet.

The European teams are two of the best attacks in the World Cup. middle germany 93.4 points and Latvia is in 90 per meeting. But also, while the Germans have a great defense, the Latvians make a lot more water on that side, so you can expect a German triumph in a game of high score.

Except for the fight against Spain -69 points allowed-, Latvia could not let any strong team below 86 points. Lithuania scored 93 in preparation, France 86 and Canada 101. Germany, for their part, have already shown signs of maintaining their level against good opponents: added 86 and 101 vs. Canada and 91 vs. USA in previous friendlies, while scoring 85 in Australia and 100 in Slovenia.

Logic suggests it Germany will be around 90 points in this matchso Latvia will only need to score 80 to cover it 170 points are needed. The Latvians have reached 80 points in 6 of 10 games against World Cup opponents during these weeks of friendlies and official matches.

What will the season be? Sports doctor commented on Kostyuk’s injury

sports doctor Dmitry Babelyuk He commented on the injury of the Ukrainian tennis player Marty Kostyuk:

“The video shows how the supporting leg bends when the weight is transferred to it. Martha managed to sense the danger and balance her body so that the “galik” was not completely exposed, but this small rotation still caused discomfort.

Anyone familiar with tennis knows how important footwork and especially sudden changes in movement are in tennis. For this reason, ankles are the most common problem tennis players encounter after elbows.

We remember Elina’s season with a brace and then surgery. This is also a common problem in men’s tennis.

The fact that Marta was able to continue playing shows that her injury is not serious, so it is definitely too early to bury this season. It is important now to recover well and be fully prepared for the next Slam.

Predictably, only one ligament was torn. Not a strong enough twist to tear all three, which happens all too often, but a strong enough twist to tear a ligament, forcing you to finish the tournament.

Marta is leaving JSC and will recover to prepare for the next tournament. “The injury is not serious enough to put the season in doubt.”

ALCARAZ: “The level he showed was a little unexpected for me”

Leader in ATP world rankings Carlos Alcaraz He held a press conference after defeating Adam Walton in the first round of the 2026 Australian Open:

– Carlos, congratulations on the successful start of the tournament. How would you evaluate today’s match? Frankly, the second set was tense, but in the end did you get through it without any losses?

– I can say that it was a difficult match for me. In the first set, everything was decided by a break. He made a few mistakes on his first serve. He also played very well, very reliably, and I think he was constantly trying to find a position to attack as much as possible.

In the second set, he started to find more space for aggressive play. In general, I played good tennis, but in one of the games I lost my concentration a little – mostly when I was fighting with myself, and after that everything became more difficult.

But overall I am satisfied. To be honest, I was ready for a serious battle. Although the level it showed was a bit of a surprise to me. I had to pull myself together and be ready for this battle. I’m happy with the first match of the season and the level I was able to show.

– Carlos, congratulations. What are you most pleased with today and what do you think needs to be improved to go far again in the tournament group?

“I think I hit the ball well.” Of course it could have been played better. But I’m glad I did everything I had to do. I acted correctly in terms of behavior and mental attitude on the field. I always had a good attitude, always tried to think positively. I think I did a good job with that and that was one of the main goals of this match.

In terms of tactics and the level of play in general, I understand that there are many aspects that need to be improved for the next round if I want to go further.

– Carlos, for many the quarter-finals are an excellent result, but you have not yet progressed further in this tournament. Do you have an explanation for why you performed less well than others at this Grand Slam?

– Yes, this is a little difficult for me to explain. It’s strange that I haven’t made it past the quarter-finals in Australia yet because I think I’m playing good tennis here. I played very well here for the last two years, but lost to Isner and Djokovic in the quarter-finals. If you are the first or second racket in the world, let’s say these are not the most ordinary opponents at this stage.

This is not an excuse, but I really want to do better than previous years. I have a feeling that this season I might have a chance to go further.

The horrific failure of a Russian woman in Australia. Has anyone even heard of her rival?

How Anastasia missed the match against the 697th racket in the world.

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova finished her performance at the Australian Open 2026 very early, which was definitely not expected from her. The 44th racket of the world (before the start of the tournament) lost in the first round to Chinese Bai Zhuoxuan, who before the start of the tournament was only 697th in the WTA rankings. Almost three hours of struggle, a comeback during the match and a nervous outcome in the tiebreak – 4:6, 6:2, 6:7 (10:12). For a tournament of the level of the Australian Open, this defeat can already be attributed to the most notorious stories of the start of the main draw.

Lost initiative, return to the game and tension until the last play

The beginning of the meeting did not foretell trouble, but Pavlyuchenkova’s game did not go well. In the fifth game, the Chinese woman forced a fight on the return and made a break – 3:2. This immediately added nervousness to the Russian woman’s actions. At the end of the game, Bai Zhuoxuan again took advantage of her opponent’s mistakes and led 5:2. Pavlyuchenkova managed to immediately win back one serve and reduce the gap – 3:5, but was no longer able to turn the tide of the game. After 47 minutes, the first set was won by the Chinese – 6:4.

In the second game, Pavlyuchenkova finally began to impose her tempo on her opponent. In the sixth game she achieved a break and took the lead – 4:2. Her boxing became noticeably calmer, and strikes from the baseline began to land more often. At the end of the set, Anastasia once again took her opponent’s serve and confidently closed the game – 6:2. At that moment, it seemed that the difference in class would still have an effect, and the match would gradually come under the control of the Russian.

The decisive set began with a cold shower for the favorite. The Chinese woman immediately made a break and took the lead – 1:0. Pavlyuchenkova quickly returned serve, equalized the score, and after 2:2 the game went into error-waiting mode. Both tennis players confidently won games on their serves. The stands actively supported the Russian, and on the court one could regularly hear: “Anastasia, we love you.”

Nevertheless, there were no more breaks, and the fate of the match was decided by a tiebreaker up to 10 points. It turned out to be nervous and protracted. Bai Zhuoxuan played more carefully in key rallies and put the pressure on her opponent – 12:10. The final score of the meeting was 4:6, 6:2, 6:7 (10:12).

The numbers behind which the problem is hidden

The match lasted 2 hours 43 minutes and turned out to be eventful; the statistics of the game explain a lot. Pavlyuchenkova completed seven aces – a solid indicator, but eight double faults regularly brought her opponent back into the game. The situation with break points is also not the most rosy: only four out of 11 opportunities were realized.

Bai Zhuoxuan’s performance is more modest: two aces, three double faults, three breaks out of 10 attempts. The Chinese played simpler, but calmer – and this was enough to withstand the pressure and wait for her chances.

For Pavlyuchenkova, the Australian Open 2026 ended, in fact, immediately after the start. The defeat from the 697th racket in the world (in the new ranking she is 702nd) is a painful blow to both ambitions and ranking prospects, even taking into account the equal fight and tiebreaker in the decisive set. But for Zhuoxuan Bai this match became the main event of her career. In the second round she will meet with the first racket of the world – Aryna Sabalenka. After such a victory, the Chinese woman will definitely take to the court without an extra burden of responsibility – she has already done everything she could.
