Andrey Rublev vs Learner Tien prediction

Despite a frustrating season so far, Rublev has reached two finals on tour. He will hope to bring his A-game to the fore in New York and prepare well in Cincinnati. The Russian likes to play an aggressive brand of tennis and has solid groundstrokes off both wings.

Tien, meanwhile, has impressed critics so far. He reached the fourth round of the Australian Open at the age of 19 and will be eager to perform again in New York. His fourth round finish in Toronto highlights his current form on tour.

Tien recently defeated Rublev in Washington but might face a tougher test this time around. The Russian should be able to use his freshness and learn from his past mistakes to secure the win.

Pick: Rublev to win in three sets.
