Mensik vs Jarry — US Open R1 Preview

ATP US Open Hard Court Round 1

🧠 Form & Context

Jakub Mensik (No. 16, age 19)

• 🇨🇿 Breakthrough star of 2025, Miami champion, now firmly inside the top 20.
• 📉 Grand Slam struggles: blew two-set leads at AO and Roland Garros, then lost tamely to Cobolli at Wimbledon. Still adjusting to Bo5 demands.
• 🤒 Recent concern: Retired in Cincinnati (illness) which raises questions about his physical readiness for New York.
• 🏟️ US Open record: 2-for-2 in reaching R3, but needed marathon battles (two five-setters in 2024). Promising results, but taxing.
• ⚡ Strengths: Explosive serve + forehand combo, fearless hitting.
• ⚠️ Weaknesses: Endurance under Slam pressure, recovery after illness.

Nicolas Jarry (No. 103, age 29)

• 🇨🇱 Former top-20 player, fell out of the top 100 after year-long slump tied to health and confidence issues.
• 🔥 Wimbledon 2025 R16 run (beat Rune, Tien, Fonseca) showed flashes of revival.
• 📉 Since then: 0–4, including early losses in Kitzbühel, Cincinnati, and Winston-Salem.
• 🏟️ US Open record: 2R only once (2018). Last year entered seeded (No. 26), lost R1 to O’Connell.
• ⚡ Strengths: Height (1.98m), big serve, ability to hit through slower courts.
• ⚠️ Weaknesses: Form collapse since Wimbledon, struggles on hard (2–4 in 2025).

📜 Head-to-Head

0–0 (first meeting)

🔍 Match Breakdown

Mensik’s challenge: His Slam track record shows stamina collapses after fast starts. If illness affects him, the pattern could repeat.

Jarry’s path: Has history of exploiting physically vulnerable top players (ex. Rune at Wimbledon). His big serve could keep things close if Mensik fades.

Surface factor: Hard suits Mensik more (18–8 in 2025) vs Jarry’s 2–4. Czech’s game style translates better to New York conditions.

Key dynamic: If Mensik serves with rhythm and finishes points quickly, he’ll dominate. If it drags into long rallies and extended sets, Jarry’s experience and patience could shift the balance.

🔮 Prediction

Jakub Mensik has the clear talent edge and is the deserved favorite, but his health and Slam endurance remain question marks. Nicolas Jarry’s confidence is low, but his serve gives him at least a puncher’s chance to pressure the teenager physically.

Pick: Mensik in 4 sets – Jarry likely snatches a set if Mensik dips physically, but the Czech’s firepower and form across 2025 should see him through.

Carballés Baena vs Rinderknech — US Open R1 Preview

ATP US Open Hard Court Round 1

🧠 Form & Context

Roberto Carballés Baena (No. 84, age 32)

• 🇪🇸 Veteran clay-courter who has been forced to adapt more to hard courts in 2025.
• 📉 Difficult season overall (14–19 W/L), limited success even on clay, but recent signs of stability.
• 🎾 US Open series: reached R2 in Toronto (lost to Fritz) and Cincinnati (lost to Tiafoe).
• 🏟️ Flushing Meadows history: Excellent 6–1 record in opening-round matches, with notable US Open wins over Paul and Rune.
• ⚠️ Fitness has been an issue in 2025, though he’s showing more resilience this summer.

Arthur Rinderknech (No. 77, age 30)

• 🇫🇷 Big-serving Frenchman who rebounded from a poor first half of the season.
• 🔥 Sparked into form on grass (Wimbledon 3R, upset Zverev) and carried momentum onto clay (Kitzbühel SF).
• 📊 Hard-court turnaround: R16 in Cincinnati (beat Borges, Ruud) before losing to Auger-Aliassime.
• 🏟️ Consistent in New York: never lost an opening-round match in 4 appearances, best run R3 in 2023.
• 💪 Physical edge: fitter and sharper than Carballés Baena at present.

📜 Head-to-Head

Carballés Baena leads 2–0 (both 2021 on clay, straight sets).

🔍 Match Breakdown

Surface factor: Hard courts strongly favor Rinderknech, with his serve + forehand combination, while Carballés Baena’s grinding style is less efficient here.

Physical condition: Carballés Baena’s fitness is still not at peak levels, while Rinderknech appears fresh despite retiring late in Cincinnati.

US Open comfort: Both men have good R1 records in New York, so expect a competitive start, but Rinderknech’s weapons give him the higher ceiling.

Key dynamics: If Carballés extends rallies and drags the match long, his consistency could test the Frenchman’s patience. But if Rinderknech keeps service games short and aggressive, the balance tilts heavily his way.

🔮 Prediction

Arthur Rinderknech has the momentum and surface advantage. Roberto Carballés Baena’s strong opening-round history at the US Open and H2H edge suggest he won’t go down easily, but the Frenchman’s firepower should ultimately prevail.

Pick: Rinderknech in 4 sets – expect Carballés Baena to grab a set through his grinding, but Rinderknech’s serve + forehand will decide it.

van de Zandschulp vs Mpetshi Perricard — Winston-Salem SF Preview

ATP Winston-Salem Hard Court Semifinal

🧠 Form & Context

Botic van de Zandschulp (No. 92, age 29)

• 🎾 Resurgence week: Four straight wins here (Walton, Arnaldi, Báez, Yunchaokete), all in 3 sets except R2. Finding rhythm at the right time.
• 📊 2025 record: 27–22 overall, 11–6 on hard.
• 🔥 Experience factor: Former US Open quarterfinalist (2021), semifinalist here in 2022. Loves North American hard courts.

• 🔥 Winston-Salem run: Beat Martínez (in a final-set TB), Müller, and Medjedović. Serve firing—rarely broken.
• 📊 2025 record: 17–17 overall, 9–8 on hard.
• 💪 Strengths: Monster serve + huge forehand combo, perfect for quick US hard courts.
• ⚠️ Weakness: Return game still raw; if serve drops, he can look vulnerable.

📜 Head-to-Head

First meeting

🔍 Match Breakdown

Botic’s keys: Extend rallies, use his experience to pressure GPP in return games, and keep first-serve % high to avoid giving away free looks.

Mpetshi Perricard’s keys: Serve bombs, keep rallies short, and attack Botic’s second serve. His tiebreak record makes him very dangerous in close sets.

X-factor: Both have played multiple 3-setters this week, but Botic has spent more time on court. GPP’s serve gives him a fresher path.

🔮 Prediction

Botic is playing his best tennis in months and thrives in these conditions, but GPP’s serve-heavy style is tough to handle on Winston-Salem’s quick hard courts. Expect at least one tiebreak, but the Frenchman’s firepower gives him the edge.

Pick: Mpetshi Perricard in 2 tight sets (likely TBs).

Trungelliti vs Llamas Ruiz — US Open Q3 Preview

ATP US Open Qualifying Hard Court Qualifying Round 3

🧠 Form & Context

Marco Trungelliti (No. 183, age 35)

• 🎾 Veteran grinder: Over 650 career wins, mostly on clay. Known for fighting spirit in long matches.
• 🔥 US Open qualies 2025: Knocked out Eubanks and Garin—both higher-ranked and dangerous hard-court players. Two big scalps already.
• 📊 2025 record: 32–24 overall, 4–4 on hard.
• ⚠️ Limitation: Aging legs and heavy schedule—often struggles to sustain top level in back-to-back best-of-5 contests at majors.

Pablo Llamas Ruiz (No. 355, age 22)

• 📈 Rising Spaniard: Career-high 131, rebuilding after injuries earlier this year.
• 🔥 US Open qualies 2025: Defeated Hanfmann and Martín to reach Q3, dropping just one set.
• 📊 2025 record: 22–16 overall, 4–4 on hard.
• ⚠️ Inexperience: Just his 2nd Slam Q3 (after Roland Garros), still looking for first Grand Slam main draw.

📜 Head-to-Head

• 2024 Barcelona qualies (clay): Trungelliti d. Llamas Ruiz 6-3, 5-7, 6-4

H2H: Trungelliti leads 1–0

🔍 Match Breakdown

Trungelliti’s keys: Experience, return consistency, and tactical variety. He thrives on breaking rhythm and forcing younger opponents into long rallies.

Llamas Ruiz’s keys: Stay aggressive, trust his forehand, and avoid getting dragged into physical marathons. Needs to serve well to shorten points.

Context: Both are 4–4 on hard in 2025, but Trungelliti has already beaten two big names here, while Llamas has had a lighter draw.

🔮 Prediction

This is a clash of youth vs experience. Trungelliti is the more battle-tested, but fatigue after two tough wins could weigh on him. Llamas Ruiz, at 22, has fresher legs and is motivated to crack his first Slam main draw.

Pick: Llamas Ruiz in 3 tight sets. (If it turns into a grind over 3+ hours, Trungelliti’s savvy could still flip it.)
