THE PREDICTION
World number 13 Alex de Minaur dropped a set against qualifier Timofey Skatov on Tuesday but he will be glad to have come through relatively unscathed after an early exit in Cincinnati two weeks ago. The 24-year-old set a career-high ATP world ranking of 12th earlier this month after finishing runner-up to Jannik Sinner in his maiden Masters final in Toronto and wins over Taylor Fritz and Daniil Medvedev there suggest he should take some serious stopping this fortnight, particularly as his kryptonite Stefanos Tsitsipas is out of the draw. World number 86 Yibing Wu won his maiden ATP title at the Dallas Open back in February, also stunning Fritz en-route, but a slow summer sees him enter New York at a ranking unbecoming of the level he has produced on hardcourts. The 23-year-old overcame Dusan Lajovic in five sets on Tuesday to look bang up for a battle here but De Minaur’s pace and power should outstrip his own in this first encounter between the two. Back the Aussie to win outright here with four sets about as likely as three.
