Jason Kubler v Matteo Arnaldi Head to Head
The pair have never played each other before.
This will be the first match between the 30 year old Australian, and the Italian, who is eight years his junior.

Australian Doubles Champion Kubler
Kubler is something of a late bloomer, and it has taken him until this year to reach his highest ranking in both singles and doubles, despite having turned pro back in 2011.
His US Open record has been sporadic at best, only twice qualifying for the main draw before, and, on each occasion, losing in the second round.
However, he can now call himself a Grand Slam title winner, having won the Australian Open back in January with partner Rinky Hijikata.
His best recent performance was on grass in Ilkley, where he went on to win the title.
However, he has had limited success on American hard courts so far this season.
He failed to qualify in Toronto, and was beaten by Brandon Nakashima in the first round in Winston Salem.

Arnaldi Makes New York Debut
This will be the first time that Arnaldi has qualified for the main draw of the US Open, having only made his Grand Slam debut at the French Open in May, where he reached the second round.
He also qualified for Wimbledon for the first time in his career.
His rapid rise up the rankings can be attributed to his form on the junior tours, where he has reached ten finals in the past two years, all but one of them on clay, winning six of them.
A semi-finalist in Umag last month, he began his hard court season in Toronto, where he came through qualifying, and reached the second round before losing to Daniil Medvedev.
However, his Cincinnati campaign was ended at the first round stage by the French player, Corentin Moutet.
Kubler v Arnaldi Prediction and Tip
Given the relative difference in their age and experience, and the fact that Arnaldi is more at home on clay, Kubler can be regarded as the favourite for this contest.
The Italian, though, will want to give a good account of himself on his first appearance in New York.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Kubler to win: 5/7 (with bet365)
- Moderate Risk Tip: Under 31.5 games in the match: 5/4 (with bet365)
