US Open Day 2

We come back for Day 2 with a single selection from a match the bookmkers expect to be tight. Both picks on Monday came through for us.

Sousa v Granollers

Sousa comes into this one with a 3-1 head to head advantage over Granollers, including their only meeting away from their favoured clay - he'll need to arrest a run of seven straight first round elimiations though.

While Granollers has the advantage of qualifying on the courts last week, it's also fair to say his preference to play in a number of challenger events recently could leave him vulnerable to the step back up in class, and that could be telling here. Granollers has a 2-8 record against players ranked 25-100 over the past two seasons (Sousa is 12-13) and has won a combined 93% of service / receiving points, compared to Sousa who boasts 101% on the same metric.

Back the Portuguese in this one is the advice.

0.8pts Sousa to beat Granollers at 15/16
