Command Analysis
Varvara Lepchenko
USACurrent form
Since 2019, 38-year-old Lepchenko has not played in the US Open. This time, she reminded people of herself, not only passed three rounds of qualification, but we also see her in the second round of the main draw. In some ways, of course, Varvara was lucky, since she had to play only three games in the first round, after which Brenda Fruhvirtwoa withdrew from the game due to injury. In the qualifying matches, Lepchenko has victories over Zidansek, Glozman and Papamihail.
Professional qualities
Lepchenko has a huge amount of experience, which has helped her achieve success in less prestigious tournaments in recent years. However, her speed is far from being what it used to be to count on something serious.
Current indicators in the tour
At one time, Lepchenko was the 19th racket in the world, but that was a long time ago. At the moment, we have the 199th number in the world ranking. Throughout the season, Varvara actively plays in not the most prestigious tournaments, periodically achieving success. On hard, she has quite modest statistics: 11 wins and seven losses.

Anastasia Potapova
Russian FederationCurrent form
On the eve of the start in New York, Potapova played a good tournament in Cleveland, where she managed to get to the semifinals. Undoubtedly, the game practice she gained helped her to break the resistance of Leyla Fernandez in the first round of the US Open (2-6, 6-4, 7-5). The game was nervous, both took and lost the initiative more than once, but in the decisive moments of the third set, Anastasia worked better.
Professional qualities
Potapova tries to play boldly, does not wait for her opponents to make mistakes. Of course, the risk is not always justified. It is important for Anastasia to warm up, play several matches in one tournament, then it will be difficult to stop her.
