Mackenzie McDonald knocked out the defending champion Jenson Brooksby in round one. Now he takes on Thiago Agustin Tirante for a place in the last eight of the US Clay Court Championship. Read our match prediction below.
For the winner, there's a match against either top seed Ben Shelton or Zhizhen Zhang.
McDonald is in round two of this tournament for the second successive year. His win over the eighth-seed and defending champion Jenson Brooksby was a surrpise but his opponent is on a losing run at present.
His first round victory equaled the number of wins he's had on clay between 2023 and 2025. During that time he has lost 14 out of 15 matches played on this surface. This is only his second time past round one of an ATP Tour event in 2026 and is 125th in the live rankings.
That's 48 places below Tirante who has won four of his six clay court matches this year. A win over McDonald will take him into his second clay court quarter-final of the year, having got that far in Rio.
He beat Colton Smith in round one for the loss of three games, all in the first set.
We tip him to beat McDonald.
