LiontipsVeronika Kudermetova vs Donna Vekic. Prediction and Betting Tips for US Open
Command Analysis
In the current season Veronika Kudermetova reached the Top-20 for the first time, it is surely a great success for her. Since the start of the season Russian player has recorded 29 victories and suffered 16 defeats. She didn't win a single title so far, but reached the final in three tournaments.
Veronika approaches the start of US Open after the Cincinnati tournament, where she reached the third round. Kudermetova is usually unsuccessful in New York. She was unable to get past the second round.
Vekic is unable to gain consistency in the current season. Croatian player had some glimpses of brilliance, but she can't launch a long winning streak. Before US Open, Donna Vekic was unsuccessful on hard tournaments before US Open, winning only one main draw match in three tournaments.
Out of three previous New York tournaments Vekic managed to get past the first round only once. Last year, she suffered a narrow defeat to Muguruza in the first round, losing two tiebreaks (6:7, 6:7).

Tip and bets
Kudermetova is looking better than Vekic throughout the season. But Veronika was never successful at New York. Croatian player knows how to motivate herself for big tournaments. Donna managed to reach the second round of Roland Garros, starting from qualification, and also put up a good fight to Pegula at Wimbledon. We think that Russian player won't get the victory so easily.
