Berankis Looking To End Year Well After Indifferent US Open Series
Ricardas Berankis has hit indifferent form in recent times and dropped out of the top 100 in the ATP rankings for the first time in two years.
The Lithuanian has hit some difficult draws running into a top 30 ranked opponent multiple times in tournament openers this season.
While he had some decent early wins in Toronto and Cincinatti he ran into Argentine veteran Diego Schwartzman in the first round in New York which end his Grand Slam run for the year. Unfortunately, it was the same player who ended his run in the round of 32 last year at the US Open too.
Berankis is well suited to the hard courts and faster indoor surfaces and will hope his resilience and tough competitiveness will see him rekindle some of the form this Fall that saw him ranked in the top 50 a few seasons ago.

Rising Taberner Hoping To Continue Up The Ranks
Young Spaniard Carlo Taberner is ranked just outside the top 100 and hoping to make a breakthrough on the ATP tour.
This time around one can expect a better challenge from Taberner who is slowly moving up the rankings on the back of his form on clay and is currently at his career-best. He qualified for the French and US Opens this year but was not able to go past the first round.
The Spaniard has already won two Challenger titles this year and while he is yet to break into being a force among the upcoming Next Gen, he will hope for all of this to be a learning experience.
With a 5-10 win loss record on the tour, Taberner will hope to use the rest of the year to get as much match play as he can to improve his form, confidence and results.
Berankis v Taberner Prediction and Tip
Both players will be looking to kickstart the rest of the season on a positive footing. Expect a good contest with the more experienced Berankis prevailing in two sets.
Tip: Berankis to win in two sets: 9/2 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
