Alexandra Eala vs Clara Tauson prediction

Clara Tauson is coming off the back of a deep tournament run at the Canadian Open, making it all the way to the semi-finals in Montreal before losing a three-set thriller to Naomi Osaka. The Dane then had a round of 32 finish in Cincinnati leading up to the US Open, so with plenty of time on the hard court, she should be in a good place.

Alexandra Eala is yet to reach the second round of a Grand Slam but it’s only a matter of time before that changes for the 20-year-old. Eala won the opening set of her first round match at Wimbledon vs Barbora Krejcikova, so despite her eventually losing, Tauson will need to be on her guard from the start.

In the end, Tauson’s all-round game is superior to that of Eala’s at this period in their respective careers. With that in mind, back the seeded player to advance through to the next round.
