Valentin Royer vs Yunchaokete Bu prediction
Valentin Royer failed to qualify for the Winston-Salem Open last time out, as he lost to teenager Darwin Blanch in three sets. He was able to do so in Cincinnati, getting through to the second-round before a straight sets defeat to Karen Khachanov. The Frenchman’s success on the Challenger Tour this season has seen him creep inside the top 100 of the world rankings for the first time.
Yunchaokete Bu reached his second quarter-final of the season in Winston-Salam, beating former world number three Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round. The Chinese player has made strides on the tour recently and picked up victories during this hard court North American swing.
Bu is a steadier baseliner and covers the court well, while he also draws errors from his opponents. Royer may be vulnerable on his backhand side and Bu will hope to exploit that as the match wears on. Bu is the more experienced and consistent at the higher tour level and that should give him the edge here.
