Shapovalov holds a narrow edge in trader consensus for this US Open second-round hard-court matchup, reflecting his greater Grand Slam experience and 1-0 head-to-head lead after a straight-sets clay victory in 2024. The Canadian advanced past Kecmanovic in four sets while building on a Los Cabos final appearance, though an earlier ankle issue lingers in his 2026 record. Van Assche, ranked slightly higher at No. 40, arrives with strong recent momentum after upsetting Norrie in four sets for his first US Open main-draw win and recent Challenger and ATP-level success, yet he lacks Shapovalov’s proven hard-court depth at this stage. The matchup’s competitive balance stems from both players’ similar win-loss records and the surface’s emphasis on serve-return stability.
