Lloyd Harris: How They've Fared at U.S. Open

Lloyd Harris' best finish at a Grand Slam was a quarterfinals appearance back at the 2021 U.S. Open. His best Grand Slam win percentage by far is at the U.S. Open as well, winning 55% of his matches at this tournament compared to just 33% at the other three Grand Slams.

Taylor Fritz: How They've Fared at U.S. Open

Taylor Fritz went on an underdog run at last year's U.S. Open, making it all the way to the final before eventually falling to Jannik Sinner. It's his only final appearance at a Grand Slam in his career, but he did make it to the semifinals of this year's Wimbledon.

Fritz has a 64% win percentage at the U.S. Open in his career.

Lloyd Harris vs. Taylor Fritz Prediction and What the Odds Say

Taylor Fritz is set as a -1400 favorite in this match, indicating an implied probability of 93.33% to advance to the third round.

These two have faced each other in a match together twice, splitting the two matches. Both came in 2020, with Fritz beating Harris at the ATP Masters 10000 Cincinnati, then Harris took down Fritz at Antwerp.

While Fritz is likely to win this match, you can bet on Harris to win at least one set at -108 odds. Based on Harris's first-round dominant victory against Sebastian Baez, I think it shows he's in good enough form to take at least one set from Harris. He also should feel confident in this match, already having a career win against the American.
