US Open Tennis 2015: Predictions, Live Stream for Tuesday Night's Bracket

The second day of the U.S. Open is underway with Tuesday's action nearing a close. The tennis world has already been treated to the elite play of Roger Federer, Simona Halep and Caroline Wozniacki, who all won their matches Tuesday. 

Some of the game's best have yet to hit the court on the first round's final day, as things will be heating up from Queens, New York, even after the sun goes down. 

Let's take a look at the live stream schedule for Tuesday's remaining matches, along with predictions of the night's most notable tilts. 

Date	Time (ET)	TV	Live Stream
Tuesday, September 1	1-11 p.m.	ESPN	ESPN3

Nick Kyrgios vs. Andy Murray (3)

When: 7 p.m. ET

Who will win: Murray in four sets

The world No. 3 should be feeling confident going into his match against the unseeded Kyrgios. In their three meetings, Murray has never lost a set to the challenger. 

But Murray is quite wary of his first-round matchup, as he told Live-Tennis.com's Hannah Wilks:

"

He’s quite an unpredictable player, so you need to expect that when you go on the court. I’ve played well against him the three times we’ve played. I’ve played good matches but he’s a top player. He obviously just missed out on a seeding here and I’m sure he’ll be one of the top players at this event in the next few years. He likes playing on big stages. That’s where he’s played his best tennis throughout his career... So I would expect him to be ready. He gets himself fired up for the big events.

"

He has every right to expect that as Kyrgios is a fiery presence who is capable of getting into his opponent's head. Kyrgios most recently went off on world No. 5 Stan Wawrinka at the Montreal Masters, bringing his opponent's girlfriend into his latest brand of trash-talking. 

Kyrgios later went on to win the match but received a $10,000 fine from the ATP, according to FoxSports.com.

Murray has also shown that he at times can get hot-headed on the court. He told Lukas Rosol at the BMW Open in May that "everybody hates you," according to Wilks.

This is going to be an entertaining match, and if something goes wrong for either player, things could become heated between the two. While attitudes might dominate the storylines on Wednesday, tennis fans are also going to see quality tennis. 

Everyone knows of Murray's successes. With trophies at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, he is capable of winning on the largest of stages. But Kyrgios has played the upset role before with wins over Roger Federer at the Madrid Open and Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon. Despite his past struggles, he'll have plenty of confidence that he can overtake Murray in Flushing Meadows. 

Petra Kvitova (3) vs. Laura Siegemund

When: Following Kyrgios vs. Murray

Who will win: Kvitova in straight sets

On paper it doesn't seem like this will be much of an entertaining match. The highest remaining women's seed to play on Tuesday night will take on the 126th-ranked player in the world. In fact, Siegemund has only beaten players ranked in the top 100 four times in her career, according to WTATennis.com. 

It doesn't seem that number will increase after Tuesday, but she will nevertheless give Kvitova a run for her money. 

Siegemund, who has been a professional since 2002, has won all four of those matches against top-100 opponents since July 2014. She is playing the best tennis of her career. 

Kvitova, though, is flying high, coming off a Connecticut Open title she won on Sunday, but she has not had a lot of rest, which might prove costly for her. 

According to SportingLife.com, Kvitova is battling mononucleosis, which will create concerns about her health and fatigue, even though she looked fine in Connecticut, according to TennisReporters.net's Matt Cronin:

While she is playing in New York, which has reached temperatures of 90 degrees, her health will be a question mark yet again, and if Siegemund continues to play an ever-improving game, Kvitova could be in trouble. 

That being said, the two-time Wimbledon champion should be able to overcome Siegemund in two sets even though she isn't at 100 percent. If the challenger does find a way to stretch out the match, tennis fans could see the biggest upset of the tournament. 

With the bright lights of New York shining on tennis' biggest stars on Tuesday night, the U.S. Open will be in for some of its most entertaining play, even though the matches might not be necessarily close. Look for the tournament's favorites to make a case for a title run in the earlier stages, but never underestimate the underdog—especially in a city with such a flair for the dramatics.
