THE PREDICTION
This will be the third meeting this season between world number 14 Tommy Paul and number 21 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, with Paul leading their head-to-head 2-0. The 26-year-old changed the course of his career with a huge run to the semi-finals at the Australian Open, where he overcame Davidovich Fokina in five sets in the second round, and he beat the Spaniard in straight sets a few months later in Miami. The American has laboured so far in New York, needing four sets to beat qualifier Stefanos Travaglia and then having to come back from two sets down to edge past Roman Safiullin on Wednesday, but he has the athleticism to bounce back from those efforts to remain the favourite here. 24-year-old ADF is yet to drop a set at the US Open in form that saw him reach the semi-finals of the Canada Masters three weeks ago and sets look almost certain to go both ways in this potential marathon. Paul played out two three-set slogs with Carlos Alcaraz last month, winning in Toronto and losing just as closely in Cincinnati, to look capable of edging through here but take the American to earn at least two sets to leave the result up to chance.
