Alexander Blockx vs Tomas Barrios Vera prediction

Alexander Blockx will be hoping to crack the top 30 with a good run at the US Open.

The world number 32 is enjoying a breakthrough season and will expect to have too much firepower and consistency for Tomas Barrios Vera.

The Chilean was enduring a lengthy losing run prior to coming to Flushing Meadows, but the 28-year-old has generally lacked much quality when he has made previous forays into main draws over the years and we don’t see him causing too many waves here.
