Jakub Mensik@ 1.74
Mensik is the rising Czech teenager ranked around 48 and climbing, with a huge serve and improving all-court game. Tiafoe has been in poor form in 2025, struggling with consistency and early exits. Mensik's power game should trouble a Tiafoe who's lost confidence.
Over 24.5@ 1.74
Both Tiafoe and Mensik are big servers capable of holding serve under pressure, and Tiafoe tends to compete hard at US events even in poor form. Sharp line sits at 24, and with two power hitters likely trading service holds, a three-set match going over 24.5 games is probable.
Alexander Zverev@ 1.19
Zverev is the #2 seed and world #2, in supreme form this season with a 25-2 record including the AO title. Cilic is 36 years old, ranked outside the top 100, and well past his prime. Zverev leads H2H 4-1 and should dominate on hard court.
