Us Open: Novak Djokovic vs Carlos Alcaraz — Carlos Alcaraz Moneyline (-400)

Carlos Alcaraz offers significant value at 1.25 against Novak Djokovic due to his superior recent form and serve performance on hard courts. Alcaraz's last five matches show a first-serve percentage of 65.2% and a first-point win rate of 81.1%, indicating strong serving efficiency. In contrast, Djokovic's recent serving metrics reveal a first-serve win rate of only 68.1%, which is lower than Alcaraz's. Moreover, Alcaraz's second-serve points won at 56.5% outperform Djokovic's 40.1%, demonstrating greater resilience under pressure.

These factors collectively point to Alcaraz as the value side in this matchup.
