Dalibor Svrcina vs Valentin Royer prediction

Dalibor Svrcina will hope to continue a decent record against Valentin Royer when they do battle in New York.

The Czech world number 134 meets the Frenchman for the first time on tour but has won their two previous meetings at a lower tier.

Those matches took place on clay and world number 75 Royer will hope the switch in surface will work in his favour.

Valentin has just four tour-level wins this season but arrives on the back of a Challenger title in Kingston.

Dalibor actually has one more match win in main draws and although he arrives on a losing run, his previous history with the Frenchman could see him push for the upset here.
