Winner to face Lorenzo Musetti in the Round of 16.
In this high intensity Round of 32 encounter between two unseeded stars, Jaume Munar takes on Zizou Bergs at the 2025 US Open on Saturday. The Spaniard toppled two gritty players in order to reach this stage. On the other hand, Bergs profited from the withdrawal of No. 5 seed Jack Draper. The winner of this match will advance to their maiden Grand Slam Round of 16 in the second week. Who is it going to be? Let’s preview this contest and look at the best betting odds, via BetMGM.
Currently ranked No. 44 and No. 48 in the world, the match-up between Jaume Munar and Zizou Bergs is evenly poised. Munar reached the semifinals in Dallas early on in the season, after which the Round of 32 at Wimbledon was his most noteworthy outing. Leading up to Flushing Meadows, he made the quarterfinals in Winston-Salem. On hard courts this year, the 28-year-old has won 82% service games and 66% service points. Meanwhile, his 24% success rate on return games needs an improvement.
Just like his opponent, Zizou Bergs is yet to win a title on tour. At the age of 26, he is already the top ranked player from his nation. Within the first two months of the year, the Belgian reached a final in Auckland and the semis of the Open 13. After an average clay court campaign, Bergs returned to form with a smashing run to the summit clash of the Libema Open. Unfortunately, just one win during the North American hard court swing put him at risk of an early exit; however, Bergs has shut down the critics with aplomb. His record in 2025 stands at 23-19.

The Spaniard adopted a clay-esque technique in his Second Rould battle against Diallo. He settled into a deep return position, and managed to extract loads of depth on his groundstrokes. Although his forehand can let him down occasionally, he found a way around it by keeping the ball in play. For Bergs, going for the attack and preventing Munar from neutralizing the rallies will be the keys to success.
Prediction: Jaume Munar in straight sets.
Munar is the favourite and Bergs is the underdog in this US Open 2025 Round of 32 battle. According to the implied probability on the money line, the Spaniard could win in four or five sets with a 68% chance. Take a look at the odds (as per BetMGM):
