Learner Tien vs Emilio Nava prediction

Learner Tien will relish the chance to return to hard courts in his homeland.

The 19-year-old has been making fledgling moves on grass and clay, but has carved out his biggest moments so far on hard courts.

First up in Washington, he faces a compatriot who is four years his senior and sits outside the top 100.

Tien will have to continue to learn from the pressure of expectation and he will be a clear favourite here against the wildcard.

We expect him to settle right into his surroundings and hold off an underdog who will be desperate to impress in an all-American showdown.
