Sebastian Gorzny vs Raphael Collignon Prediction U.S. Open - New York · Aug 30, 2026

Analysis

Both men arrive in New York after losing their most recent outing: Gorzny fell 1-2 to Cruz Hewitt on 24 August, while Collignon went down 1-2 to Rinky Hijikata on 25 August. Neither loss was a collapse — both took a set — so this is a meeting of two players who can compete but have been struggling to close matches out. Collignon carries more tour-level match-play experience on hard courts and tends to build points patiently from the baseline, which is worth a small edge in a best-of-five debut situation where physical management matters. Gorzny, an aggressive server-forehand player, has the weapons to steal a set or two, especially early when the New York courts play quick and free swinging suits him. With both men fresh off three-set defeats and neither obviously dominant, a long, momentum-swinging match is the natural expectation. The lean is towards Collignon in four, with a live chance the underdog forces a decider.
