First career meeting between the American No. 1 and Swiss breakout star.
A finalist from last year’s event, Taylor Fritz will be facing the breakout star Jerome Kym in Round-3 of the 2025 US Open. After a strong first match, Fritz had to endure a challenging battle against the experienced Lloyd Harris. On the other hand, Kym has had a dream run of sorts since the qualifiers. Will this young upstart succeed in giving fans probably the biggest upset of this year’s US Open? Let’s find out using the most accurate odds from BetMGM.
There is no questioning the fact that Taylor Fritz is among the most talented American men’s superstars in recent times. The World No. 4 made it to the US Open final in 2024, where he lost to top seed Sinner. While the 27-year-old reached the semifinal in Toronto this year, he couldn’t go past the Round of 16 in Cincinnati. Nonetheless, Fritz has won two grass court trophies in Stuttgart and Eastbourne which hold him in good shape in 2025.
On the other hand, Jerome Kym is making his Grand Slam debut in New York. Kym’s rich vein of form started during the qualifying event, when he made it to the US Open without losing a set. However, his real breakthrough came in the Round of 64 where he bested home seed Brandon Nakashima in a major upset. With a your-level success rate of 66.66% in 2025 as well as throughout his career, do not be surprised if the Swiss sensation pulls another rabbit out of the hat.
This is the first time Taylor Fritz and Jerome Kym will be facing each other in an ATP Tour-level match.
| Taylor Fritz | Category | Jerome Kym |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | Current Rank | 175 |
| 38/15 | YTD W/L | 2/2 |
| 2 | YTD Titles | 0 |
| 322/205 | Career W/L | 4/3 |
| 10 | Career Titles | 0 |
Despite Fritz’s inconsistencies so far, the 4th seed still remains a force to be reckoned with. Fritz may start slow and gradually ease his way into the match, courtesy some assistance from the crowd. Subsequently, one does not know whether Kym has recovered fully from his five set marathon in the Second Round. If he can get the American coming to the net more often on his own terms, there could be a match on our hands.
Prediction: Taylor Fritz in straight sets.

A passionate sports fan since childhood, it was always my dream to cover the peak of human potential. Baseball, Tennis, and Football (or Soccer) have been closest to my heart. From Rafael Nadal’s never-say-die attitude to Roger Federer’s beautiful backhand, I’ve seen it all. Prior to the Playoffs, I’ve worked in EssentiallySports and Pro Football and Sports Network.

Perhaps that’s why I love indulging in some fun banter and always try to inculcate a debate through my work. That’s why I encourage the readers to express their views freely – after all, that’s what makes sports fun.
