THE PREDICTION
World number 28 Dan Evans recently won the most prestigious ATP title of his career with a near-perfect campaign at the Washington Open earlier this month but he lost back-to-back openers in Toronto and Cincinnati to bring some doubt into New York. A straight-sets victory over Daniel Elahi Galan was an encouraging way to start his US Open and he should be better for snapping that losing streak early in this first meeting with Botic van de Zandschulp. World number 65 Van de Zandschulp reached the quarter-finals here two years ago at the peak of his powers but he has struggled to find his previous intensity this season, practically ever since cruelly finishing runner-up to Holger Rune at the Munich Open for a second year on the spin. The Dutchman took the first set from Jordan Thompson before his opponent had to retire on Tuesday but a first win since early July will boost some lost confidence ahead of this potential marathon.
Evans reached the round of 16 here two year ago before defeat to Daniil Medvedev, who then beat Van de Zandschulp in the last eight, and his recent form says he could emulate that if defending champion Carlos Alcaraz were not due to meet the winner of this match. Back Evans to earn at least two sets as the likelier victor of a match that looks a reasonable candidate for five.
