LiontipsElise Mertens vs Aryna Sabalenka. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA US Open
Command Analysis
In two most recent New York tournaments Elise Mertens reached the quarter-final. In this year Belgian player was close to elimination in the first round. She managed to record a victory over Peterson only on two tiebreaks in decisive sets (3:6, 7:6, 7:6). That victory increased Mertens' self-confidence.
In the second round she recorded a confident victory over Grammatikopoulou (6:2, 6:2). In the third round match against Jabeur Belgian player was not considered a favourite by the bookmakers, but she managed to record a victory in straight sets (6:3, 7:5).
Aryna Sabalenka has already improved her result at US Open. In two most recent tournaments Belarusian player left the New York tournament after the second round.
Only the first round match against Stojanovic was difficult for Sabalenka (6:4, 6:7, 6:0). After that she recorded confident victories over Zidansek (6:3, 6:1) and Collins (6:3, 6:3), which we had a prediction on. Sabalenka is improving with every single match, so she is one of the main favourites for the title.
