Murray vs Dimitrov (19)
I’m not really an advocate of watching Murray. All the screaming and angst from someone so accomplished is unsettling. But he does provide VFM. And if he’s playing Dimitrov, the player you’d most like to spend a weekend chilling by the beach, I’m in.
Etcheverry (30) vs Wawrinka
I have a thing for workmanlike players with a touch of power and Etcheverry fills the brief. He’s very steady and at times can really blast the ball. He’s also very down to earth.
This is a classic match of the upstart vs the vet.
Sinner (6) vs Sonego
I’m not entirely convinced by Sinner’s Canada 1000 win. That was a comfortable draw for him.
If he wins this USO, I’ll be well on-board the Sinner train. Sonego is tough. And loud. New York is tough and loud, too, and I think Sonego will be very at home.
Sinner is dependable of late and he won’t be too shaken if things get dicey.
A fascinating contest could await us.
