Matteo Arnaldi enters the US Open first-round matchup against James Duckworth as the clear favorite, holding the No. 30 seed and a top-35 ranking against the Australian's No. 79 position. Arnaldi reached the French Open semifinals earlier in 2026 before an illness-forced withdrawal, though recent hard-court results in Montreal and Cincinnati showed mixed form with early exits. Duckworth, a 34-year-old veteran, arrives with strong momentum after advancing to the Winston-Salem quarterfinals with straight-set victories over higher-ranked opponents like Mariano Navone and Lorenzo Sonego on hard courts. The pair has no prior head-to-head history, and the hard-surface Grand Slam setting favors Arnaldi's baseline consistency, while Duckworth's recent serve and return efficiency could create upset opportunities in what projects as a competitive opener.
