THE PREDICTION
World number three Rafael Nadal dropped the first set for a second-successive round before coming through in four, this time ousting old foe Fabio Fognini. The 36-year-old needed treatment after accidentally catching himself on the nose with his racket but he was able to close out the match comfortably in much the same way he beat Rinky Hijikata on Tuesday. Nadal set a new Men’s Singles Grand Slam record this season at the Australian Open and then extended it to 22 at Roland-Garros but he is essentially defending his US Open title from 2019 having not featured in New York in the last two editions. World number 91 Richard Gasquet has impressed so far this week, stunning 32nd-seed Miomir Kecmanovic in four sets on Thursday for one of his best results this season, but the Frenchman will be preparing to depart already after drawing Nadal.
The Spaniard has never lost to Gasquet in 17 previous meetings across their long careers, with the Frenchman’s last set against Nadal coming way back in 2008 at the Canada Masters. Back Nadal to win in straight sets here for the 13th meeting in a row.
