THE PREDICTION
World number 32 Sebastian Baez beat Borna Coric for the second time in as many weeks after also stunning the Croat at Winston-Salem last week on his way to a second-successive ATP title. The 22-year-old has to be considered a dark horse for a deep run here in New York as he takes an impressive 11-match winning streak into the second round after claiming his third and fourth ATP titles back-to-back in Kitzbuhel and Winston-Salem, the latter of which was a first on hardcourts. World number 168 Felipe Meligeni Alves qualified well last week to make his Grand Slam debut and he coped well with the last-minute fixture change as Kei Nishikori pulled out of the draw to promote lucky loser James Duckworth, whom the Brazilian beat in straight sets. Baez should be in strong enough form, with broiling confidence, to win this first encounter in straight sets but take the outright concession if including this match in an accumulator.
