The round of 128 match of US Open 2023 between Ilya Ivashka and Juan Manuel Cerundolo will take place on August 28.
Ilya Ivashka faced a challenging phase during the North American hardcourt swing, managing victories in just two out of six matches. Interestingly, he narrowly avoided a complete winless streak by rallying from a set down in both his victories against Beibit Zhukayev and Borna Gojo in Los Cabos. Given his year-long struggles, partially attributed to fitness issues, his ongoing period of underwhelming performance isn’t entirely surprising. In 2023, he holds a win-loss record of 12-22. The top-ranked Belarusian had a relatively subdued 2022 season but revitalized it with notable achievements in the United States later in the year. He achieved his first semifinal appearance of the season in Atlanta and progressed to the US Open’s round of 16, marking a significant turnaround.
In an unexpected turn, Juan Manuel Cerundolo enjoyed a surprising streak of success on the hard courts at Winston-Salem the previous week. Notably, he achieved impressive upsets against Roman Safiullin and Yannick Hanfmann, propelling him to the quarterfinals. This marked his inaugural entry into the quarterfinals on hard surfaces across all levels of play. Despite this commendable performance, his win-loss record on both outdoor and indoor hard courts remains relatively modest, currently standing at 8 wins and 14 losses. It remains to be seen whether this sudden boost in confidence and momentum will lead to an unforeseen victory for him at the US Open, an event he has yet to participate in. The former ATP Cordoba champion has engaged in two main-draw matches in grand slams, encountering defeats against Tomas Machac at the 2022 Australian Open and Jannik Sinner at this year’s Wimbledon.

Head-to-head record: 0-0. Regardless of Juan Manuel Cerundolo’s strong performance in Winston-Salem and Ilya Ivashka’s recent difficulties, the key factor in determining the result will be Ivashka’s performance. He holds a considerable advantage as the superior player in these conditions and is expected to be the decisive factor.
