I apologize Greenbacks. "Ugly" is used by only the most DEEPEST of Thinkers on the NYC Scene, those who know that

[h=1]Day 6 preview: Former champs top Saturday servings.[/h]
The courts of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center are booked solid with enticing matchups Saturday, as the best in the game look to better their chances at tennis’ toughest title. Three former US Open champs headline Day 6, as Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Juan Martin del Potro each play third-round matches. Other top talents looking to fight their way into round four here include Karolina Pliskova, Agnieszka Radwanska, CoCo Vandeweghe, Elina Svitolina, Naomi Osaka, Madison Keys, Gael Monfils and Dominic Thiem. A win Saturday guarantees you court time next week – and you know how hard it is to get court time in New York.
Five-time US Open champ Federer has had a sensational year at the Slams, winning the Australian Open and Wimbledon to bring his career major total to 19 – most among men. The 36-year-old Swiss is in pursuit of a sixth US Open crown, which would break the tie for most in the Open era he currently holds with Pete Sampras and Jimmy Connors. Through three rounds here, Federer is 323-51 at the majors, but the man who’s clearly on the fast track to Newport has yet to find the accelerator here. Clearly still bothered by the back injury that forced his withdrawal from the Cincinnati event three weeks ago, the greatest of all time appears almost mortal in his advance; each of his wins in the first two rounds went five sets. For less-ethereal players, that might not be a big deal, but consider this: in his entire career, Federer has never – as in ever – played two five-set matches during a single Flushing fortnight.
The No. 3 seed will be seeking a more efficient engagement today as he squares off with Feliciano Lopez, the No. 31 seed. The Spaniard, who’ll likewise turn 36 later this month, was a quarterfinalist here just two years ago. Lopez, who has ranked as high as No. 12, has since fallen to No. 35, but he’s more than capable of rising to the occasion against the game’s best. Prior to Wimbledon this year, Lopez reached consecutive grass-court finals in Stuttgart and at Queen’s Club, winning the latter by rolling over Stan Wawrinka, Thomas Berdych, Grigor Dimitrov and Marin Cilic. That said, the Spaniard will need to do some serious ascending to take down Federer, who owns a 12-0 advantage in their career head-to-heads, including a fourth-round win here in 2007. Lopez should pose a test to the third seed, but it’s hard to imagine Federer not having the answers. Give Lopez a set; give Federer the win in four.
If you’re a fan of the sport – or just a fan of good guys – it’s impossible not to root for del Potro, who won his only career major here in 2009. One of the sport’s greatest sportsmen, the 28-year-old Argentine has spent the better part of the last few years trying to make his way back toward the top of the game after undergoing a series of wrist surgeries. A quarterfinalist here last year, del Potro has this year struggled to find his feet on the big stages, losing in the third round at Roland Garros and the second round at Wimbledon. He’s reached one semifinal on the season, knocking out Sam Querrey en route to the semis of Delray Beach in February, and is now ranked No. 28 – his highest ranking since 2014. This summer, his best performance was a third-round finish in Cincinnati.
Saturday, the former champ should get a good idea if he can be a present contender, as he takes on the No. 11 seed, Roberto Bautista Agut, who’s into the third round here for the fourth consecutive year. The 29-year-old Spaniard has put together a solid season at the Slams, reaching the fourth round at each of the season’s first three. What’s more, Bautista Agut has managed to stay hot throughout the summer, reaching the quarters of Toronto and winning the US Open Series event in Winston-Salem.
The two men have split a pair of career meetings on large stages, Bautista Agut winning in the second round of the 2014 Aussie Open and del Potro winning in the quarters of the Rio Olympics on his way to a silver medal. This should be a good one, a bruising battle between two guys who can punch – and counterpunch – with the best of them. In a furious four, del Potro moves on.
Women’s top seed Pliskova reached the first Grand Slam final of her career here last year, defeating both Venus and Serena Williams in gaining the final, losing there to Angelique Kerber. The 25-year-old Czech took over the top spot in the women’s game just under two months ago, but in order to hold on to it, she’ll need to reach the final here again this year. Playing from the top line at a Slam for the first time in her career, Pliskova has had an uneven start. After cruising through the first round, she withstood a serious challenge from American qualifier Nicole Gibbs in Round 2, dropping the first set before winning, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4.
The top seed will look to get back into her first-round form as she takes on No. 27 seed Zhang Shuai of China. The 28-year-old Zhang is into the third round here for the second consecutive year, and last year, posted her best-career performance in a major when she reached the quarterfinals at the Aussie Open, knocking out Simona Halep along the way. Pliskova has won both of their career meetings and figures to go 3-for-3 today. In a tight two, the top seed advances.
One of seven American women to reach the third round here, Vandeweghe, 25, is enjoying her best-ever season at the Slams, reaching the semis in Australia and the quarters of Wimbledon. At the former, she beat both Kerber and Garbiñe Muguruza back-to-back; at the latter, she scored a win over Caroline Wozniacki. Surprisingly, this third-round showing represents her best-ever run at her home Slam. To better it, she’ll need to get by Poland’s Radwanska, a four-time Slam semifinalist (two Aussie, two Wimbledon), who has bettered her performance by a round at each of the season’s first three majors, reaching the second at the Australian, the third at the French and the fourth at Wimbledon. Radwanska leads the career meetings between the two by a 5-1 margin, including a win this summer in the first round of the US Open Series stop in Toronto. With both women playing well, No. 6 will be tough – but so is No. 10. In a tight three, Radwanska is on to Round 4.

U.S. Open.org Day 6 picks.
MEN
(6) Dominic Thiem vs. (30) Adrian Mannarino
Thiem sports a perfect 5-0 record against Mannarino, including four hard-court wins over the past two years. He’s won the past seven sets they’ve played but comes into New York without a hard-court semifinal run in 2017. Mannarino, meanwhile, has been solid since Wimbledon, with quarterfinal appearances in Los Cabos and Montreal and a round-of-16 showing in Cincinnati, where he pushed Thiem to two tiebreak sets in defeat
Thiem has won six of the seven sets he’s played so far, and a second-round victory over American Taylor Fritz gave him a great test in the first week that should serve him well moving forward. There’s no reason to think Mannarino can win three sets against Thiem, so the Austrian advances in four.
(1) Rafael Nadal vs. Leonardo Mayer
World No. 1 Nadal was unhappy with the amount of errors he made against Taro Daniel Thursday evening, despite a four-set win which saw him lose just seven games after dropping the first set. The Spaniard is moving well and always has the option of cranking up the energy when he needs it the most.
For Mayer, he’s already played six matches over the past nine days when you take into account three qualifying matches last week in addition to a men’s doubles match on Friday. Even if Mayer was perfectly fresh, he’d need to play the match of his life to upset the title favorite. He’s lost all seven sets against Nadal in his career, a streak that runs to 10 in the final day match inside Arthur Ashe Stadium.
WOMEN
(4) Elina Svitolina vs. Shelby Rogers
Svitolina has typically saved her best performances for clay, reaching the quarterfinals of the French Open twice on either side of a run to the fourth round at Roland Garros in 2016. New York has rarely been kind to her, but she’s playing arguably the best tennis of her career this season and she’s primed for a long stay in the Big Apple this time around.
Rogers is coming off a pair of three-set battles, the latter of which against No. 25 seed Daria Gavrilova went a US Open record three hours, 31 minutes. She has a solid game, but nothing that should trouble someone who both moves smoothly and strikes the ball well from the baseline. Svitolina’s game can occasionally run cold in patches, and that alone could see the American win a set, but Svitolina ultimately wins in three.
(15) Madison Keys vs. (17) Elena Vesnina
Following Roger Federer in the night session is no enviable task, but that’s what Keys and Vesnina will be asked to do to close out Saturday in New York.
On paper, this is one of the most evenly matched third-round contests with just two seeds and two spots in the rankings separating the combatants. Keys won the only two previous matches, including 6-4, 6-0 when they met in Montreal last July, but Vesnina has looked impressive in wins over Anna Blinkova and Kirsten Flipkens. Vesnina has only been past the quarterfinals of one major in 11 years and is unlikely to have her US Open breakthrough here against the American. Make it three fourth-round appearances in a row for Keys, who powers through in straight sets.

(6) Dominic Thiem vs. (30) Adrian Mannarino
Thiem sports a perfect 5-0 record against Mannarino, including four hard-court wins over the past two years.
