Marc-Andrea Huesler is a clear favorite in the match against Beibit Zhukayev in the US Open qualifying. Huesler recently won a tournament on a hard court, showing excellent form, while Zhukayev is struggling and rarely wins at this level. In their previous meeting, Huesler secured a comfortable victory. Considering the difference in form and ranking, it is more likely that Huesler will easily overcome Zhukayev and win the match without major issues. He has less potential for errors and is a more experienced player, making him the clear favorite. My prediction is for Huesler to win with a first set handicap of -2.5 at odds of 1.72.
