THE LOWDOWN
DENIS KUDLA
The Ukrainian-born American Denis Kudla comes into this tournament ranked 89th in the world as of August 2021. Kudla reached the third round at Wimbledon this summer but that was the first time he had made it through the first round of a Grand Slam since his third round appearance at the US Open in 2019.
LASLO DJERE
It has been a relatively successful year for Laslo Djere. The 26 year-old Serbian achieved career best performances at Wimbledon and the French Open but there remains a ceiling that he is yet to break through with the furthest being a third round finish. Djere has snuck to 27th in the world as of June 2019 but has most recently just about fallen out of the top 50.
THE PREDICTION
The preparation of these you players is very different and Kudla has had a much more satisfying build-up to the tournament. His performance at Wimbledon was impressive after defeating the seeded Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and then Andreas Seppi with only eventual winner Novak Djokovic knocking Kudla out. Kudla is the slight favourite for this match.
