THE PREDICTION
This should be a thrilling contest between tricky left-hander Yoshihito Nishioka and highlights-reel enthusiast Alejandro Davidovich Fokina as they meet for the first time on tour. 26-year-old Nishioka had been enduring a season to forget before this month when he burst into form at the Citi Open, beating five top 40 players including world number eight Andrey Rublev, before finishing runner-up to Nick Kyrgios. World number 39 Davidovich Fokina has also had an odd year as he brings an 18-21 record into the US Open despite reaching a first Masters final at the Monte-Carlo Open where he beat the likes of Novak Djokovic and Taylor Fritz before finishing runner-up to Stefanos Tsitsipas. The Spaniard is riding a three-match losing streak into New York whilst Nishioka takes two with him, although back-to-back defeats to Kyrgios and Felix Auger-Aliassime is no embarrassment. Davidovich Fokina is no stranger to a five-setter at a Grand Slam, so take his opponent Nishioka to win at least two sets as the man with more hardcourt form.
