Collins vs Sabalenka: prediction for the US Open match

Before the start of US Open Collins didn't play at pre-Slam hard tournaments. But despite that, American player won three matches in New York and reached the round of 16. 

Danielle managed to beat Osaka, Bucsa and Cornet. American player beat all of her opponents in straight sets. But she had to play tiebreaks in matches against Osaka (7:6, 6:3) and Cornet (6:4, 7:6).

Sabalenka ha problems with consistency during the pre-Slam tournaments and we see more of the same in New York. Lack of focus may prevent Aryna from achieving a positive result at US Open. 

In the first round Sabalenka secured a victory over Harrison, as it was expected (6:1, 6:3). In the second round Beralus representative barely beat Kanepi (2:6, 7:6, 6:4). Sabalenka was 1:5 down in the second set, but managed to come back into the game, winning the tiebreak. Such a hard-fought victory boosted Sabalenka's confidence and in the next round World No. 6 player easily beat Clara Burel (6:0, 6:2).
