Daniel Merida Aguilar enters the US Open first-round matchup against Marton Fucsovics as the clear favorite, backed by his No. 39 ranking and strong 2026 hard-court form that includes a Masters 1000 quarterfinal run in Canada and wins over Marin Cilic and Zizou Bergs in Cincinnati. The 21-year-old Spaniard holds a 41-19 seasonal record and has shown consistent depth in recent weeks. Fucsovics, the 34-year-old Hungarian ranked No. 121, arrives with a 9-16 record this year marked by multiple straight-sets losses and a retirement in Cincinnati, limiting his ability to challenge on outdoor hard courts. No head-to-head history exists, and neither player reports injuries heading into the match at Flushing Meadows. The significant gap in current form, ranking, and recent results shapes the market's assessment of the outcome.
