Svajda vs Piros — US Open 1R Preview

ATP US Open Hard Court Round 1

🧠 Form & Context

Zachary Svajda (No. 143, age 22)

• 🇺🇸 American youngster who turned his season around after a tough spring (personal/family struggles).
• 🔥 Summer surge: Won Lexington Challenger title, R2 in Washington, qualified for US Open without dropping a set.
• 📊 2025 record: 32–19 (17–13 on hard, 14–3 on grass).
• 🏟️ US Open history: Always competitive — took Lorenzi to 5 sets (2019), beat Cecchinato (2021), pushed Cerundolo (2023).
• 💡 Strengths: Clean ball striker, thrives on faster surfaces, improving confidence.
• ⚠️ Weakness: Still streaky, needs crowd energy to lift him.

Zsombor Piros (No. 156, age 25)

• 🇭🇺 Junior AO champion (2017), once tipped for top-50.
• 📉 Fitness issues + inconsistency limited career progress.
• 📊 2025 record: 42–14 (dominant on clay, 30–8; 6–3 on hard). Won 2 Challenger titles this year.
• 🏟️ US Open: First main-draw appearance (failed in qualies before).
• 💡 Strengths: Solid baseline game, strong when fully fit.
• ⚠️ Weakness: Struggles physically in long formats; limited best-of-5 experience (tour-level MD record: 0–2).

📊 Head-to-Head: Svajda leads 2–0 (both 2024, straight sets).

🔍 Match Breakdown

Svajda comes in with momentum, home support, and Slam battle experience. Piros is talented but fragile — his game is more clay-based, and five-set hard-court battles are outside his comfort zone.

Expect Svajda to dictate with cleaner shot tolerance, especially if rallies get extended under NY humidity. The key factor is Piros’ body — if the match drags long, his chances fade quickly.

🔮 Prediction

Everything points toward Svajda here: form, surface, H2H, and Slam readiness. Piros can compete for stretches, but winning 3 sets in these conditions looks beyond him.

Pick: Svajda in straight sets (3–0).
