It was a battling performance from Nadal, who needed two hours and 47 minutes to oust the Croatian star. Nadal, who improved to 1-1 against Coric, hit 40 winners and won 88 percent of his first serve points. What proved to be the difference in the contest, though, was his excellent net play. Nadal won 94 percent (16\/17) of his net points against Coric.<\/p>\n<p>Next up for the Spaniard is a round-of-64 clash with Diego Schwartzman. Nadal has a 1-0 record against the Argentinian, with their lone meeting coming at the Acapulco tournament back in 2013. Nadal trounced Schwartzman in straight sets in that round-of-32 contest, 6-2, 6-2. Schwartzman is coming off a convincing straight-sets win over Elias Ymer in the opening round on Monday. He won 85 percent of his first serve points in that match.<\/p>\n<p>Nadal is 7-3 in his last 10 matches, while Schwartzman is 7-3 as well in his last 10 outings.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Nadal (<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/tennis\/us-open-mens-matchups-parlayable\" target=\"_blank\">-2,000<\/a><\/strong>) defeats Schwartzman in straight sets.<\/p>\n<p>The US Open is finally here!\u00a0<a title=\"Join Top Bet sportsbook\" href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/9\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a>\u00a0and cash in on all the exciting tennis action.<\/p>\n<h3>Milos Raonic vs. Fernando Verdasco<\/h3>\n<p><strong>When:\u00a0<\/strong>Thursday, September 2, 12:30 PM ET<\/p>\n<p><strong>Line:<\/strong>\u00a0Milos Raonic (<strong>-250<\/strong>)\u00a0vs. Fernando Verdasco (<strong>+190<\/strong>) &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/tennis\/us-open-mens-matchups-parlayable\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>view all US Open Men&#8217;s Singles lines<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Milos+Raonic+Rogers+Cup+Montreal+Day+2+6tiBjgRF6vll.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-73651\" alt=\"Milos Raonic\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Milos+Raonic+Rogers+Cup+Montreal+Day+2+6tiBjgRF6vll.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Milos+Raonic+Rogers+Cup+Montreal+Day+2+6tiBjgRF6vll.jpg 600w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Milos+Raonic+Rogers+Cup+Montreal+Day+2+6tiBjgRF6vll-250x166.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Milos Raonic secured a place in the second round of the US Open with a convincing 6-4, 7-6(8), 6-1 win over Tim Smyczek on Monday. It was a solid performance from Raonic, who needed two hours and 10 minutes to see off American. With the victory, the Canadian earned his 200<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0win in the ATP Tour.<\/p>\n<p>Awaiting Raonic in the round of 64 is Fernando Verdasco, who saw off German veteran Tommy Haas 3-6, 6-1, 6-7(3), 6-3, 6-1. The head-to-head series between the two players is currently deadlocked at 3-3, with Raonic the victor in their last meeting at Shanghai back in 2013. This will be their first matchup, though, in a Grand Slam tournament.<\/p>\n<p>For Raonic to pull off the victory later today, he needs to continue his excellent service play. He won 83 percent of his first serve points against Tim Smyczek on Tuesday. He also saved all the six break points he faced on Monday. That will be crucial against Verdasco, who converted eight of his 13 break point opportunities against Haas in the opening round.<\/p>\n<p>Raonic is 3-5 in his last eight matches, while Verdasco is 4-4 in his last eight outings.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Raonic (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/tennis\/us-open-mens-matchups-parlayable\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>-250<\/strong><\/a>)\u00a0edges past Verdasco in four sets.<\/p>\n[sc:Other490banner ]\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"73627\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,903&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rafael Nadal\u2019s bid for a 15th Grand Slam title remains right on track after beating the talented Borna Coric in the first round on Monday.
