Frances Tiafoe vs Jason Kubler prediction
This should be an interesting encounter as both players have a solid game and are in good form.
Kubler has a heavy-hitting style and plays defensively from the baseline. He may have to up the pace and turn more aggressive on the fast US Open hardcourts.
With a big serve and a blistering forehand, Tiafoe, meanwhile, likes to dictate play from the baseline. The American will look to attack Kubler right from the word go and force him into errors by taking time away from setting up his shots.
With the crowd egging him on, Tiafoe has a huge advantage going into this contest.
Pick: Tiafoe to win in four sets.
