There were concerns about her form prior to the start of US Open, but Polish player put up a great performance in New York, losing only two sets in seven matches. Swiatek took the second Grand Slam title in the current season.

Tip and bets
On August, Swiatek hammered Tomljanovic by a 6:1, 6:2 score in Toronto. We are not expecting such a strong performance from the World No. 1 player. Ajla gained form in two qualifying matches at Ostrava, providing a solid serving performance. Iga had a month-long break, so she will need some time to regain form and to adapt for local courts. In a previous season Swiatek lost eight games to Putintseva in the first round match at Ostrava.
Our prediction - Tomljanovic to win with a (+5) handicap
In each of five latest matches of Swiatek no less than 19 games were played. We are expecting another long match.
Our second bet is on total over 19 games
