Rankings & Form
Lucas Tien holds a slight edge in the ATP rankings at #15 with 2,565 points, compared to Jakub Mensik at #18 with 2,445 points. Both players come into this US Open clash with solid momentum—Mensik's recent form reads WWLWW, while Tien is just behind at WWLWL. Their consistent performances suggest they're peaking at the right time in this Grand Slam.
Head-to-Head Record
They have faced off only once before, with Tien narrowly winning 3-2 at the ATP Next Gen Finals in Jeddah. Given that close result and the high stakes here, neither player will be looking to give an inch. Mensik will be aiming to avenge that narrow loss and prove he can overcome Tien on a bigger stage.
Recent Results
Mensik’s latest matches show a strong start with consecutive wins (3-1, 3-0) before a tight loss (2-1) and another win (0-2). Tien’s run is similarly solid, with dominant wins (0-3, 0-3), a close loss (1-2), and a follow-up victory (2-0). Both players demonstrate resilience, suggesting this encounter could be tightly contested.
Games Total Outlook
Given their balanced head-to-head and recent match scores, the expert pick leans towards over 38.5 total games at odds around 1.80. The AI also favors Tien to win at approximately 2.20, but the tight recent sets indicate many games will be hard-fought, making a longer match very plausible.
