Predicted Winners in BOLD
ARTHUR ASHE STADIUM (11 am. start)
[1] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs [LL] Leonardo Mayer (ARG) – I expect some good rallies, but Mayer won’t hurt Nadal often enough to do much in terms of scoreboard pressure.
[3] Roger Federer (SUI) vs [31] Feliciano Lopez (ESP) – I am half-tempted to take Lopez. Federer has looked off for two matches. I don’t think Lopez will break Federer often enough to pull the upset though.
LOUIS ARMSTRONG STADIUM
[6] Dominic Thiem (AUT) vs [30] Adrian Mannarino (FRA)
[9]David Goffin (BEL) vs [18] Gael Monfils (FRA) – This could be electric.
GRANDSTAND
Viktor Troicki (SRB) vs. Alexandr Dolgopolov (UKR) – Did anyone expect this match when looking at the draw?
[11] Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) vs [24] Juan Martin del Potro (ARG) – This looks like a 50-50 match to me.
COURT 17
[33] Philipp Kohlschreiber (GER) vs John Millman (AUS)
COURT 5
Damir Dzumhur (BIH) vs. Andrey Rublev (RUS)
