THE PREDICTION
World number 86 Ricardas Berankis broke a five-match losing streak with his first of two impressive wins at the Citi Open and that confidence brought him through a big victory over 15th seed Miomir Kecmanovic in straight sets on Tuesday. The 31-year-old is capable of streaks like these and will eb dangerous in the round of 16 as he faces world number 81 Steve Johnson for a third time. Johnson, also 31, beat Alex de Minaur on three sets on Wednesday in one of the best wins of his last few seasons and he recently made the quarter-finals of the Los Cabos Open. Berankis actually leads Johnson 2-0 in their head-to-head and that looks tough to go against here considering the Lithuanian’s form so far in Washington. Johnson’s defeat of De Minaur stands out as a statement result but their most recent meeting saw four sets at the US Open last year and both players to take a set here looks the best option in a difficult match to call.
