Thompson Reached Fourth Round Last Year

Thompson has good memories of Flushing Meadows as it was here last year that he achieved his best ever performance in a Grand Sam event, reaching the fourth round before eventually losing to Borna Coric.

At Wimbledon this year he got to the third round of Wimbledon for the first time in his career, beating both Casper Ruud and Kei Nishikori, before losing a five set battle with Ilya Ivashka.

Switching to the Americas hard court swing, he reached the third round in both Los Cabos and Atlanta and, in the latter event, was runner-up in the doubles with partner Steve Johnson.

The Australian was then beaten in the first round in Washington and having missed Toronto and Cincinnati, was knocked-out in the second round of Winston-Salem by compatriot Max Purcell.

Mager Much Happier on Clay

Prior to this year, Mager had not gone beyond the opening round of any Grand Slam event, something he bettered by reaching the second round in both Paris and Wimbledon.

He, though,  did win a Challenger event in Marbella of this year, defeating the Spaniard Jaume Munar to lift the trophy.

Since hat Wimbledon run, he has preferred mainly to stick to clay, finally switching to American hard courts for Cincinnati, where he was knocked out in the first round.

Last week in Winston-Salem, he beat Wu-Tung-Lin, a qualifier from Taipei in the first round, but then was well-beaten by the German Jan-Lennard Struff.
