Cecchinato vs Broady Prediction 24 August 2026
🔊 Marco Cecchinato and Liam Broady meet in the first round of US Open qualifying. The match is on hard courts, where neither player holds a clear stylistic edge. Both come into the tournament in inconsistent form, which makes for an interesting backdrop when looking at the statistics and possible scenarios.
Head-to-Head
📊 The only previous meeting between Marco Cecchinato and Liam Broady went the Briton's way - he won 3-0.
Marco Cecchinato Player Overview
Marco Cecchinato arrives with six wins from his last ten matches, a reasonable run of form heading into the US Open. At his most recent tournament he won two matches in a row before falling in the semi-finals. He averages 22.7 games per match and holds 75% of his service games - a solid level for a player of his ranking. His break-point conversion rate stands at 45%, adding consistency to his return game. Double faults are not a particular concern for Cecchinato and rarely become a deciding factor.
Match Results: Marco Cecchinato
Liam Broady Player Overview
Liam Broady has won just three of his last ten matches, a poor run that reflects inconsistent results through the British summer. His three most recent outings have all ended in first-round defeats at Challenger level. That said, Broady is averaging 24.6 games per match, and his hold percentage of 74% is close to his opponent's. His break-point conversion rate is lower at 32%, though he serves 4.2 aces per match. A double-fault rate of 5% could be a vulnerability in extended rallies.

Key factors
- The Over 21.5 Total Games line has landed in six consecutive Cecchinato matches at the US Open.
- Average games per match: 22.7 for Cecchinato, 24.6 for Broady.
- Both players win roughly half the games in their matches.
- Their previous head-to-head went the full three sets.
Expected scenario
The match between Cecchinato and Broady could be a closely contested affair, with neither player expected to dominate. Both men's average games-per-match figures suggest a competitive encounter rather than a quick straight-sets finish. A third set is a moderate possibility, and while a tie-break is not the most likely outcome, a long second or third set cannot be ruled out.
Total Games Prediction
Cecchinato has a consistent record of going deep into matches at this tournament: the total has gone over in each of his last six appearances here, regardless of the opponent or the round. The statistics for both players in this match also support a high-game-count outcome.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Given Cecchinato's trending numbers at the US Open and the relatively high average game counts for both players, a quick straight-sets finish looks unlikely even accounting for Broady's dip in form over the summer. Expect a competitive second set at the very least, with a third set also possible - either way, enough to clear the total. Our pick is Total Games - Over 20.5.
