Playing styles and prediction
Galan has struggled to push on since reaching the second week at Wimbledon where he lost to Jannik Sinner. The Colombian has a game that will suit all surfaces and will believe he can achieve another historic result at the US Open this year.
Evans will look to use his slice and consistent serving to force errors from the Colombian’s game as he looks to set up effective winners. Meanwhile the Colombian will look to dictate play on return and force Evans into tactical errors by extending the rallies. This should be a tricky opening round match for Evans but one he should edge his way to victory and earn a spot into the second round.
Prediction: Evans in five sets.
