THE PREDICTION
World number one Carlos Alcaraz played poorly in Toronto by his high standards, edging through a three-set tussle with Hubert Hurkacz before a defeat in three to Tommy Paul in Canada for the second season running. The 19-year-old should improve quickly, though, with last week perhaps a blessing in disguise in terms of the pressure of a huge winning streak coming into his first Grand Slam title defence in New York. World number 55 Jordan Thompson has been enjoying some excellent form over the summer and he was well worth his victory over John Isner in two tiebreaks to back-up a strong qualifying weekend. The 29-year-old will thrive under the pressure here as someone who loves to test himself against the best but his recent competitive defeat to Novak Djokovic came in straight sets and this looks likely to follow suit. Take Alcaraz to win their first encounter in two.
