Spaniard

Alongside the Spaniard is world number three Xander Schauffele, who has finished inside the top 15 in all eight of his previous US Open appearances.

In fact, Sinner has lost just three of his past 50 matches - all to the Spaniard.

The Spaniard has won possession more times, tackled more and won more duels than the Frenchman.

Opinion polls show that Sanchez is taking a gamble: 57% of Spaniards say there are already too many migrants in the country, according to public pollster 40dB.

With Rodri returning from injury towards the end of last season, Reijnders could either play alongside the Spaniard or in a more advanced role.
