Fabian Marozsan vs Michael Zheng prediction

These two played out a thriller at the Cincinnati Open, a three-setter decided via a tie-breaker. In the end, it was Michael Zheng who came out on top over Fabian Marozsan, thrilling the home crowd. However, the Hungarian gets his shot at revenge here against the 22-year-old from Chesapeake, Virginia at the US Open. 

Zheng was a qualifier in Cincinnati and won four matches on his way to the round of 32, beating Ugo Humbert along way, before he was eventually outclassed by Lorenzo Musetti. Marozsan meanwhile, is coming off the back of a positive Winston-Salem Open where he reached the last eight. Marozsan looked good in North Carolina and seems to have gained some much-needed momentum.

The last showdown between these two went to the wire and this one is also likely to go the same way, so backing a high number of games, as opposed to the actual result represents a shrewd move.
