Samuel is the modest selection, but the market already reflects much of his advantage.
The players haven't faced each other yet.
Samuel’s stronger recent return is the standout contrast entering the US Open final: Samuel 7/8 versus Garin 4/8 across the supplied samples. The ranking also leans towards Samuel, who is 25 places higher at 110 compared with 135. That combination supports the favourite’s case, while H2H Samuel 0-0 Garin means there is no direct-series result to inflate confidence. Samuel has won both listed US Open matches, providing the clearest current-event support. Garin has done the same, however, so his route into a competitive match is grounded in recent tournament results rather than dismissed.
Garin’s two latest US Open wins are the concrete counter-risk: his current-event form could make the broader recent-sample edge less decisive on the day. The quoted market makes Samuel the favourite at 1.44, with Garin at 2.70, and the lack of a known surface limits any further match-up assumptions. James Whitfield’s expert estimate is Samuel 68%, above the 65.22% market baseline by 2.78 percentage points; that is a modest positive adjustment, not a guarantee. The price is above the stated 1.40 pass threshold, so the decision is a cautious Samuel moneyline lean, provided the available price remains around this level.
Back Samuel only at a comparable price; otherwise pass rather than force the wager.
