LiontipsNina Stojanovic vs Aryna Sabalenka. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA US Open
Command Analysis
Nina Stojanovic is holding on to her position in Top-100 of WTA rankings, she is currently at 94th position. Serbian player is not consistent enough though, so she is unable to improve her result.
In four recent tournaments Stojanovic won only two matches. After the Olympic Games at Tokyo she took a month-long break. Lack of match practice will probably have affect her performance at New York. In the recent years she was not so successful at US Open. She was eliminated in qualifying rounds in 2018 and 2019, in the previous season she was beaten in the first round of the main draw by Kalinina (4:6, 3:6).
Aryna Sabalenka failed to put up a good performance at the Olympic Games in Tokyo, losing to Donna Vekic (4:6, 6:3, 6:7) in the second round. But in the next tournament, at Montreal, Belarusian player reached the semi-final. In Canada Sabalenka was stopped by Karolina Pliskova (6:3, 6:4).
Just before US Open, Sabalenka put up a poor performance at Cincinnati tournament. In the first round she was beaten by Paula Badosa (7:5, 2:6, 6:7). In two most recent New York tournaments Sabalenka was eliminated in the second round.
