THE LOWDOWN

Man of the moment Borna Coric rose 123 places this week to world number 29 after stunning the field in Cincinnati to win his first Masters title. The former world number 12 has always been talented enough to win a Masters title but a run like this so soon after re-joining the tour after a year-long absence is remarkable stuff, with victories over the likes of Rafael Nadal, Cam Norrie, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Stefanos Tsitsipas suggesting he could go deep in New York on the crest of a huge wave of confidence.

THE PREDICTION

27-year-old Enzo Couacaud impressed on his Wimbledon debut last month in a five-set defeat to John Isner and the Frenchman beat Jan-Lennard Struff in qualifying this week to make his US Open debut. This is a tricky opener for Borna Coric after his incredible success in Cincinnati as he will once again have to play as the man to beat in matches, rather than the recovering underdog. The Croat is in form enough to win in straight sets here but Couacaud has already proven a tough man to beat. The sensible pick is Coric outright but the shrewd move could be either taking at least a tiebreak or for Coaucaud to snatch at least a set.
