Paul (14) vs Davidovich Fokina (21)
Paul is the guy next door. Hard-working, talented and down to earth. Fokina is a more mercurial talent and more volatile.
Paul scraped past Safuillin to get here. He’s ready for the fight Fokina will give him. He’ll also know Fokina can get very tight in big matches.
Gonna be a good one.
Stricker vs Bonzi
I like these kind of round 3 matches. Both guys are coming off upsets over Tsitsipas and Eubanks. Arguably, this is the biggest match of both their careers. It’s impossible to predict which way this one will go. There is a lot at stake and if it gets close, it’s going to be fiery.
Mannarino (22) vs Tiafoe (10)
I thought Mannarino was a goner in the last round, but he defeated Marozsan pretty comfortably considering the potential the Hungarian has.
Mannarino has been in good form pre tournament and he’s carried it though to the third round.
Tiafoe has been getting the star treatment this USO. He’s a permanent fixture on AA. This is his first real test with that kind of privilege and pressure.
