Sky Bet odds<\/a> | Paddy Power<\/a> | Betfair Sportsbook<\/a><\/p>\n Joao Fonseca v Tomas Machac<\/p>\n I\u2019ve not been keen on Machac for some time and I think he\u2019s worth opposing here.<\/p>\n He\u2019s lost nine of his last 14 matches and injury issues have never been very far away.<\/p>\n The Czech has now retired from eight matches in the past 12 months which isn\u2019t suggesting mental or physical strength.<\/p>\n I saw him well beaten by Adrian Mannarino in Cincinnati where he really had no answers and while he bounced back with a convincing first-round win here against Luca Nardi, I\u2019d suggest the layers have placed too much weight on that result.<\/p>\n Fonseca\u2019s star continues to rise, albeit more slowly on hardcourt than the clay.<\/p>\n However, he was also a very solid winner in round one, defeating the lively Miomir Kecmanovic in straight sets.<\/p>\n Yes, it probably is quicker than ideal for the Brazilian in New York but he\u2019s a terrific shotmaker who I can see troubling Machac from the back of the court.<\/p>\n Machac may be the higher-ranked player but I\u2019d make Fonseca the favourite here and, cheered on by what will be raucous support, I\u2019m happy to side with the 19-year-old.<\/p>\n Jordan Thompson v Adrian Mannarino<\/p>\n Mannarino delivered us a winner in round one and can do the same here.<\/p>\n He leads the head-to-head 6-4 with the most recent meeting coming just a couple of weeks ago in Cincinnati where the Frenchman triumphed 6-2 6-2.<\/p>\n While it\u2019s not as fast in New York, it\u2019s still pretty slick and these are conditions which Mannarino will again like.<\/p>\n He\u2019s been playing some fine tennis of late, building up a win-loss record of 17-5 at all levels since the start of Wimbledon qualifying and testing world number one Jannik Sinner in Cincinnati.<\/p>\n Filter things down to hardcourts in that period and Mannarino has held serve in 84% of the time and broken 31%. A total figure of 115 is very strong.<\/p>\n Thirteen of those 17 wins have come in straight sets and 11\/4 about another looks tempting, especially when you see that eight of the 10 previous meetings have been settled in straights.<\/p>\n Thompson had obvious injury issues during the grasscourt campaign \u2013 he retired twice in that period \u2013 and he didn\u2019t return to action until Cincinnati.<\/p>\n That probably helps explain why Mannarino was so dominant in that recent meeting but although Thompson looked to be getting better during his first-round win over Corentin Moutet, I\u2019m not sure he\u2019s going to be ready to challenge Mannarino given the Frenchman is in-tune with hardcourt conditions and absolutely flying right now.<\/p>\n Posted at 2150 BST on 26\/08\/25<\/p>\n Safer gambling<\/p>\n We are committed in our support of safer gambling.
