Aryna Sabalenka vs Cristina Bucsa prediction

Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka’s quest to retain her title is gathering momentum following a dominant win over former finalist Leylah Fernandez.

The world number one remains flawless at Flushing Meadows this year after clinching a 6-3 7-6 success over the Canadian.

The Belarusian will now meet Moldovan-born Spanish underdog Cristina Bucsa for a place in the last eight.

The world number 95 shocked 19th seed Elise Mertens 3-6 7-5 6-3 to back up her solid win over Alexandra Eala.

This will be Bucsa’s first encounter with the top seed and it’s hard to see her making enough of an impression to counter Sabalenka’s almost peerless power.

The value may be in under 18.5 games with the three-time major winner highly likely to clock up another straight sets victory here.
