James Duckworth vs Yibing Wu prediction

Yibing Wu had to counter a very tough Adam Walton serve in round one, but found a way to do just that, proving strong on both his own first and second serve. Winning a first set tie-breaker was massive and Wu rode the momentum gained from that into a straight sets win. He now takes on James Duckworth, winning in four against seeded opposition in Matteo Arnaldi.

Duckworth has never made it to the third round of the US Open across his entire career. He may not get a better chance than this in a while. Wu has proven himself to be effective when it comes to returning powerful serves and he will need to be here. It’s a well-matched encounter and the smart move would be to back at least four sets to be played.
