Svrcina vs Alves Prediction 24 August 2026
🔊 Dalibor Svrcina and Felipe Alves meet in the first round of US Open qualifying on hard courts. The two have faced each other at this tournament before, just a year ago, which adds an extra edge to the opening match. The surface could be a factor, given both players' recent results.
Head-to-Head
📊 The pair have met once before, with Felipe Alves coming out on top - he beat Srčina in qualifying at last year's US Open.
Dalibor Svrcina Player Overview
Dalibor Svrcina arrives in poor form, having won just two of his last ten matches and losing three in a row at the start of August. In his most recent outings against Tituaan Droge, Marc Lajal and Stan Wawrinka, the Czech failed to make an impression in qualifying for the main draws of major tournaments. His hold rate sits at a modest 69%, while his overall games-won percentage is below half at 47%, and he has taken only a third of the sets he has played. A double-fault rate averaging 7% has also been a source of inconsistency on serve.
Match Results: Dalibor Svrcina
Felipe Meligeni Alves Player Overview
Felipe Alves is in strong form, having won 9 of his last 10 matches, including a successful run through Cancún Challenger qualifying and a consistent stretch before that. His statistics stand out in several areas: a set-winning rate of 78%, and a clear edge in games won at 55%. His hold rate is low at 20%, though he offsets that with a solid first-serve percentage of 66% and an impressive break-point conversion rate of 47%. A minimal number of double faults reflects discipline on his second serve.

Expected scenario
This looks set to be a competitive match, and Felipe Alves' current form suggests he can comfortably clear his individual games total. The chances of a third set are rated as moderate, though there should still be enough games played for one of the over lines on the total to come in.
Total Games Prediction
There is a consistent trend of Felipe Alves exceeding his individual total line at the US Open, even as an underdog. His current form adds further support to that pattern.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Recent results clearly favour Felipe Alves in terms of form and converting opportunities. Even against lower-ranked opposition, the Brazilian consistently picks up the games he needs by performing well across all the key areas of his matches. With a reasonable chance of a competitive contest, the value lies in backing the Brazilian underdog through his individual games line. Our pick is Felipe Alves - Player Total Games Over 8.5.
