Maxime Cressy vs Jan Choinski prediction
Maxime Cressy and Jan Choinski's third-round encounter is set to be an exciting matchup, with both players heading into it in good form.
Cressy has shown remarkable mental fortitude and resilience, having been pushed to three sets in both of his qualifying matches but emerging victorious each time. His performance at the US Open so far reflects his poor run during this challenging season, but a win here could just be the turning point.
In contrast, Choinski has had a relatively smooth run in the qualifiers. He has been exceptional with his returns and has controlled play from the baseline. His effective net play has been a consistent asset and could prove crucial against the aggressive Cressy.
With both players in similar form this season, predicting a winner is difficult. The match will feature Cressy’s powerful and aggressive style against Choinski’s well-rounded game and recent strong performances. Choinski could end up victorious if he continues in his rich vein of form.
Pick: Choinski in three sets.
