Daniel Elahi Galan vs Raphael Collignon prediction
Daniel Elahi Galan makes it through to the main draw as a lucky loser. He won his first two qualifying rounds but came up short against Shintaro Mochizuki, losing in straight sets. Nevertheless, he was able to qualify for the Cincinnati Open a few weeks ago and made the third-round here in 2022. The Colombian mainly competes on the Challenger Tour and is ranked 132 in the world.
His opponent Raphael Collignon is making his main draw debut in New York. The Belgian has enjoyed success on the Challenger Tour with two titles in 2025, but he has struggled to make that jump to the ATP, with just one tour-level victory this season. He has only competed in three outdoor hard court events all year and has failed to pick up a victory in any of them.
Both players are ranked outside the top 100 and neither is particularly suited to this surface, having played on clay for much of the campaign. We predict that this will be decided in four or five sets.
Daniel Elahi Galan vs Raphael Collignon tip: Over 3.5 sets
