Francisco Cerundolo vs Alexander Blockx prediction

Both Francisco Cerundolo and Alexander Blockx will be eyeing a first Grand Slam quarter-final appearance in New York.

 The Argentine came from two sets down to upset home favourite Taylor Fritz last time out while Blockx’s breakthrough season has continued to gather traction here, thanks to a superb four-set triumph over fifth seed Flavio Cobolli.

The Belgian 28th seed won his only previous meeting with the South American 24th seed 7-6 6-2 in Madrid earlier this year and given that is Fran’s favoured surface, it will add to the 21-year-old’s belief that he can repeat the trick at Flushing Meadows.
