Aleksandar Vukic vs Rei Sakamoto prediction
Aleksandar Vukic will hope to replicate some rare consistency in Washington when he meets Rei Sakamoto in New York.
The Aussie is the higher ranked player with the greater experience and has the stronger form of late too.
Sakamoto has very few wins in terms of main draws at the highest levels and also lost to Vukic in their only previous meeting in Tokyo qualifying last year.
The 20-year-old Japanese proved there he can be competitive, but Vukic should once again have the know-how in the key moments.
