Jack Draper vs Federico Agustin Gomez preview

Fifth-seeded Jack Draper is set to begin his 2025 US Open campaign with a first-round clash against Argentine qualifier Federico Agustin Gomez.

Draper has won 29 of his 38 matches this year, winning the BNP Paribas Open, which was his maiden Masters 1000 title. He also reached another final at that level, losing against Casper Ruud at the Madrid Open.

Aside from the Indian Wells title, Draper reached another hard-court final this year, reaching the final of the Qatar Open, losing against Andrey Rublev. However, coming into New York, Draper has some injury concerns as he has been out of the Tour for over a month, since his second-round loss against Marin Cilic at Wimbledon.

Federico Agustin Gomez has a 13-20 win-loss record in 2025, playing mostly Challenger tennis. His best result of the year has been reaching the semifinal of the Sarasota Challenger, losing 6-3, 4-6, 0-6 against Liam Draxl.

Gomez, too, has been on a break for over a month, after having played a few clay-court Challenger events in mid-July. He began his US Open qualifying journey with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Lukas Klein in the first round, followed by a 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 win over Federico China in the second round. In the final round, he won 6-7 (5), 7-6 (5), 6-2 over Hugo Grenier to get into the main draw.

Jack Draper vs Federico Agustin Gomez prediction

Draper has reached five hard-court finals in his career, winning two titles on the surface, with a 65 percent win rate. He has a 10-3 win/loss record at the US Open, having reached the semifinal last year.

Gomez has no proven hard-court credentials in his career as of yet, as the Argentine player has not reached any hard-court finals, and all three Challenger titles have come on clay.

Current form and the surface give Draper the advantage, with the fifth seed expected to win comprehensively to reach the next round.

Pick- Draper to win in straight sets

Speaking of the ‘GOAT’ debate, Sagnik believes that it is a bit unfair to compare the legends of the game from different eras who have played on different terms. But if he were to pick one, he’d go for Novak Djokovic based on his tally of 24 Grand Slam titles.

When not writing about tennis and technically analyzing the sport, which he believes are his 'forte', Sagnik indulges in reading books.
