Daniil Medvedev vs Qualifier/Lucky Loser prediction

Daniil Medvedev will aim to jolt himself out of a bit of a slumber at the scene of his greatest triumph.

The Russian lifted the US Open title back in 2021 but has struggled for consistency of late with just one win from his last five outings.

First up at Flushing Meadows, the former world number one takes on Hugo Gaston for the second time, having beaten the Frenchman in straight sets in their only previous encounter five years ago on indoor hard.

World number 88 Gaston will relish the stage and occasion of this one, but if Medvedev serves well and stays solid, this should be a straight-forward result.
