THE LOWDOWN

26-year-old Botic van de Zandschulp set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 23rd this week after claiming wins over Miomir Kecmanovic and Maxime Cressy in Montreal and Cincinnati, respectively. The Dutchman reached the semi-finals of the Winston-Salem Open on Friday before a defeat to eventual champion Adrian Mannarino but he still stands to lose a fair amount or ranking points on Monday as he nears the anniversary of his career-best run to the quarter-finals at the US Open last season, where he was the only player to take a set from eventual champion Daniil Medvedev.

THE PREDICTION

World number 126 Tomas Machac qualified well this week, continuing form from a recent Challenger win in Poland, to make his US Open debut here on Monday. The Czech has reached the second round of the Australian Open in back-to-back seasons but he has drawn a short straw here in Van de Zandschulp, whose consistency has been remarkable over the last 12 months. Machac may well sneak a set here but Van de Zandschulp can be backed to win outright inside an accumulator and reasonably to win in straight sets otherwise.
