Novak Djokovic (-1,500) vs. Mikhail Youzhny (+800)
Awaiting Djokovic in the round-of-32 is Mikhail Youzhny, who saw off Guido Pella, 6-2, 6-1, 7-6 (3) in the second round. Djokovic will fancy his chances in this third-round clash as he has fared extremely well against Youzhny in the past. Djokovic is 6-3 in his career against Youzhny. The two-time US Open champion defeated Youzhny, 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-0, in the quarterfinal stage of this competition back in 2013.
Writer’s Prediction: Djokovic (-1,500) eases past Youzhny in straight sets.
Ryan Harrison (+125) vs. Marcos Baghdatis (-155)
The dream lives on for American Ryan Harrison. The hometown favorite recorded a major shock on Wednesday, upsetting fifth seed Milos Raonic, 6-7 (4), 7-5, 7-5, 6-1. It was an amazing result for Harrison who had a 1-26 record against Top 10 opponents before his second-round win against Raonic. He will need to be at his best, though, in the round-of-32 as standing in his way is the ever-dangerous Marcos Baghdatis. The former Australian Open finalist booked a place in the third round with a 6-2, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 win over Frenchman Benoit Paire.
Writer’s Prediction: The fairytale continues for Ryan Harrison (+125) as he pulls off a tough five-set win.
Rafael Nadal (-1,200) vs. Andrey Kuznetsov (+700)
Rafael Nadal barged into the third round of the 2016 US Open with a comfortable 6-0, 7-5, 6-1 victory over Andreas Seppi on Wednesday. The 14-time Grand Slam champion wasted little time in advancing his quest for a third US Open crown, using only two hours and 18 minutes to eliminate the Italian.
Next up for the Spaniard is a round-of-32 clash with Andrey Kuznetsov. Nadal will be licking his chops at the prospect of facing Kuznetsov as he is unbeaten in three meetings against the Russian. Nadal trounced Kuznetsov, 6-3, 6-3, in their last showdown at the Madrid Masters earlier this year. Kuznetsov is coming off a gritty 7-5, 6-4, 7-6 (5) win over Albert Ramos-Viñolas in the second round at Flushing Meadows on Wednesday. He won 72 percent of his first serve points in that match.
Writer’s Prediction: Nadal (-1,200) preserves his unbeaten record against Kuznetsov with an easy straight-sets win.
