Aleksandar Vukic vs Zachary Svajda prediction
Aleksandar Vukic backed up his Challenger title in Granby with two wins in qualifying to enter the main draw in Washington. The Australian has now won his last seven matches in a row. Vukic has also struggled for parts of the season, but he will hope to carry the positive momentum with him for this tournament. He is close to re-entering the top 100 of the world rankings once again.
Zachary Svajda also qualified for this tournament as his opponent Cruz Hewitt was forced to retire in the deciding set of their match. It’s been a fine year for the American so far, having won a Challenger title in San Diego and advanced to the round-of-16 at Roland Garros. He has won 16 of his 22 matches on outdoor hard court in this campaign.
Vukic will take a lot of confidence from his recent run, and he will have a great chance if he dominates behind his serve and shortens the rallies. Svajda will look to extend exchanges and exploit his consistency from the baseline.
