Taylor Fritz vs Camilo Ugo Carabelli preview
American tennis star Taylor Fritz will take on Argentine Camilo Ugo Carabelli in the first round of the US Open 2024 on August 26. The 26-year-old player from California is entering this year's US Open after being eliminated from the Cincinnati Masters in a closely contested round of 64 encounter against fellow American Brandon Nakashima 4-6, 6-4, 6-7.
Trending
As the 12th seed in the tournament, Fritz arrives at Flushing Meadows in good form, having recently secured a bronze medal in the men's doubles event at the Paris Olympics. Known for his powerful baseline game, Fritz often capitalizes on his opponents' errors, using his aggressive style to control the court and secure victories.
For the 25-year-old Camilo Ugo Carabelli, this first-round matchup against Fritz could be a formidable challenge. It's his debut in the main draw at the US Open, and he'll need to deliver a top-notch performance to upset the seasoned Fritz. Carabelli has been competing in back-to-back tournaments, including the Citi Open, Canadian Open, and a recent Challenger in Santo Domingo. However, he's yet to make a significant impact in the latter stages of these competitions.
Fritz will also have his home crowd behind him, making it all the more challenging for the Argentine. His best singles performance at the US Open was reaching the quarterfinals last year. The American will be looking to start his campaign well and get some momentum before the challenges ahead.

Taylor Fritz vs Camilo Ugo Carabelli prediction
In the past year, Taylor Fritz has achieved a win rate of 69.12%, surpassing Carabelli's 65.85%. However, the quality of opponents faced by the two players differs markedly. Carabelli has primarily competed against players ranked an average of 230 in Challenger and ITF tournaments. In contrast, Fritz has faced tougher competition on the main tour, with an average opponent ranking of 138.
Fritz has also achieved his career-best win rate of 66% on hard courts, while Carabelli's strongest surface is clay, where he has won 64% of his matches. If Carabelli can manage to force the match into a lengthy exchange of shots, their recent performances under pressure will be a key factor in determining the outcome.
Additionally, Fritz has saved almost 70% of his breakpoints in the past year, compared to Carabelli's 60%. These stats and recent form suggest that Fritz should cruise through to the second round quite comfortably, unless Carabelli can pull off a surprising upset.
Pick: Taylor Fritz to win in straight sets.
