US Open action is back on Day 4 with 16 men’s second-round matches. With some of the top players in the world taking the court, these matches will surely deliver fireworks. As always, we at LWOT have our roundtable predictions for every match on the slate. Other prediction pieces feature Jannik Sinner vs Alex Michelsen<\/a>, Hubert Hurkacz vs Jordan Thompson<\/a>, and Carlos Alcaraz vs Botic van de Zandschulp<\/a>. Ateet Shrivastava, Shane Black, and Damian Kust give their insights. Who will advance to the third round?<\/p>\n

US Open Day 4 Men’s Predictions<\/h2>\n

Sebastian Korda vs Tomas Machac<\/h4>\n

Ateet<\/em>
\nKorda played a brilliant match against a tricky player like Moutet, who was playing great in the first set. Korda found the perfect balance in his game and showed a lot of variety to unsettle Moutet. Machac got his first win on hard courts since March. He is capable of playing at a high level, but I am not confident in his recent performances. Korda is playing too good to lose this.
\nPrediction: Korda in 4<\/em><\/p>\n

Shane<\/em>
\nKorda is finally coming into his own and I would not be surprised to see him make a deep run at the 2024 US Open. Despite some strong doubles play at the Olympics, Machac has not been playing great singles tennis this summer. Korda should find his way with the backing of the home crowd.
\nPrediction: Korda in 4<\/em><\/p>\n

Damian<\/em>
\nKorda disappointed at a few Slams recently and could really use a run here. His draw is far from ideal though with a dangerous contender almost every round. Machac will be able to put pressure on him off the ground with his early ball-striking and if the Czech was in slightly better form, I would be going for the upset here.
\nPrediction: Korda in 5<\/em><\/p>\n

Jack Draper vs Facundo Diaz Acosta<\/h4>\n

Ateet<\/em>
\nJack Draper played one of his best matches at a Slam as he made light work of a very solid player. Draper was extremely efficient behind his serve and made just 11 unforced errors. Diaz Acosta is a solid competitor but I don\u2019t like his chances in these fast surfaces.
\nPrediction: Draper in 4<\/em><\/p>\n

Shane<\/em>
\nDraper had to play just 19 games in his Round 1 match as Zhizhen Zhang retired in the third set. The Brit is amidst his best season as he sits at a career-high ranking of No. 25. Diaz Acosta is also playing great tennis this year, but he does not have the firepower to keep up with Draper.
\nPrediction: Draper in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Damian<\/em>
\nDraper went through Zhang very comfortable with the Chinese getting injured and that\u2019s great for him as he doesn\u2019t want to spend too much time out there in the hot and humid conditions. Diaz Acosta also won\u2019t be able to ask questions regarding his physicality, he\u2019s just not good enough to compete with the Brit on hard courts.
\nPrediction: Draper in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
