Alexander Zverev is just one match away from ditching an unwanted record. He may have 11 career titles but has never reached the final of a Grand Slam. He faces 20th seeded Pablo Carreno Busta for a place in the final and is the deserved favourite to get the win. 2020 has been a good year on court for Zverev and after never even getting to a Grand Slam semi-final, he's now made the last four of both the Australian and US Opens. He hasn't had an easy path to the last four and had four four-set matches and that includes his quarter final win over Borna Coric. That match got off to a terrible start for Zverev as he lost the first set 6-1. The German stormed back to win the next three sets, though both the second and third sets went to tie-breaks. 

After his 'win' over Novak Djokovic in the last sixteen, Pablo Carreno Busta had a tougher game in the quarter finals. He had to go to five sets to get past Canadian Denis Shapovalov. He lost the first set but then won the next two by tie-breaks (a bet on there being a tie-break in this match could weil be profitable). A nightmare fourth set was lost 6-0 but he recovered to win the final set 6-3. to reach his second Grand Slam semi-final, both in New York. A bet on over 38.5 games being played in this match looks a winning one.
