John Isner will lock horns with Holger Rune in the second round of the US Open on Thursday.
With 22 victories and 16 defeats so far this season, Inner has had an average campaign. Despite not having a championship to his name this year, he advanced to the ATP 250 Houston Open final before falling to Reilly Opelka in straight sets. At Wimbledon and the French Open, the American was eliminated in the third round. He just beat Stefanos Tsitsipas in a tough three-set match to reach the Cincinnati Open quarterfinals. At the US Open, Isner defeated Federico Delbonis 6-3, 6-1, 7-5.
On the other hand, Holger Rune in August achieved a career-high rating of 28. With 20 wins and 18 losses so far this season, he has done okay. At the Munich Open, Rune defeated Botic van de Zandschulp to win his first ATP title. In April, he was successful in taking home the Sanremo Challenger. The Danish player garnered media attention as he advanced to the 2022 French Open quarterfinals before falling to Casper Ruud in four sets. The 28th seed at Flushing Meadows defeated Peter Gojowczyk in straight sets, 6-2 6-4 7-6, in his first-round encounter (5).

John Isner vs Holger Rune Prediction
Rune is currently having a breakthrough season. His aggressive playing style and strong groundstrokes are ideal for the US Open’s speedy surfaces. If the young Dane wants to challenge Isner on Thursday, he will need to play at his peak on serve returns and with passing shots. Nevertheless, it will be extremely difficult to beat Isner in three sets with the manner he is currently serving.
