Shapovalov's perfect 6-0 head-to-head record, including strong results on hard courts, positions him as the consensus favorite against Kecmanovic in this US Open first-round matchup on outdoor hard. Shapovalov enters with a slight ranking edge near No. 47 and recent hard-court momentum from a Los Cabos final plus wins over Norrie and others, despite an overall 14-17 record and mixed summer results. Kecmanovic, ranked around No. 64, has shown resilience in longer matches, including pushing Sinner to five sets at Wimbledon, but owns a weaker 2026 win rate and limited success against top competition. Both players feature inconsistent recent form with no major injury concerns, making serve consistency, break-point conversion, and deciding-set experience key variables on the fast hard surface.
