Kei Nishikori
Kay has been trying to improve his ranking positions lately. He has missed a lot of tournaments lately due to injury. He is currently ranked 56th in the ATP tour. After Wimbledon, he has played twelve matches on clay. Managed to win in nine. The Japanese lost to Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games, to Mackenzie MacDonald in the semifinals of the tournament in Washington and refused even before the start of the match with Hubert Gurkach.
Mackenzie McDonald
Mackenzie has made significant progress in the rankings this season. He managed to climb to 61st position in the ranking. Of the latest results, we can single out the final of the ATP tournament in Washington, where he lost to Miomir Kechmanovich in the final match in three games.
McDonald has a good first serve and is stable on the back line. At the start of the competition in New York, the American beat David Goffin (6: 2, 7: 5, 6: 3).

Forecast and rates
Kay has two goals in this match. Take revenge on Mackenzie for recent defeat in the semifinals of the tournament in Washington. In that match, the Japanese was not in the best physical condition, but even so he put up decent resistance. Goal number two is to try to tune in to the match with Djokovic and show him more stubborn resistance than it was at the Olympics, where the samurai was defeated. Nishikori has where to improve and due to what to act as the first number in the upcoming fight, and MacDonald has no hidden reserves.
