THE LOWDOWN

Ilya Ivashka defeated Vasek Pospisil in the second round of the tournament in order to reach this stage. Ivashka is currently ranked number 53 in the world and this is a career best performance already at the US Open. He comes up against the tournament’s sixth seed in Matteo Berrettini. Berrettini has had an impressive 2021 with a fourth round appearance at the Australian Open then the quarter-finals at the French Open and then losing to Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final.

THE PREDICTION

Berrettini’s 2021 has had an improving pattern throughout and if he was to continue that then he’d be a Grand Slam winner in this tournament. The Italian has defeated Ivashka on both the occasions these two have met and he will come into this as the fairly comfortable favourite.
