Jakub Mensik vs Learner Tien prediction

Two rising starlets will do battle in an eye-catching third round clash at the US Open.

The American 14th seed Learner Tien has reached this stage of his home Slam for the first time with straight sets wins over Nuno Borges and Gael Monfils.

Meanwhile, 17th seed Jakub Mensik has looked sharp without really being tested by a big name as of yet with solid victories over Shintaro Mochizuki and Jurij Rodionov.

The Czech is into this stage of the tournament for the third time and is hoping for more joy at a Major after reaching the last four at Roland-Garros.

This will be their second meeting with Tien triumphing in five sets at the 2024 NextGen finals.

It feels like this has all the ingredients to be another topsy-turvy battle with both players aware that this could develop into a regular encounter in the years ahead.
