Caty McNally vs Belinda Bencic prediction
Caty McNally has only ever made it to the third round of a Grand Slam on one occasion, at the 2020 US Open. She has been steadily consistent in getting to the second round of the big events, though, having reached that stage at the Australian Open in January where she was beaten by Victoria Mboko.
Belinda Bencic has enjoyed a positive first-half of the year and the Swiss enjoyed an impressive and comfortable defeat of qualifier Sinja Kraus in the first round the other day, winning 6-2, 6-3. Tokyo 2020 gold medallist Bencic has endured a frustrating clay season thus far with defeats to Anna Kalinskaya and Hailey Baptiste in Rome and Madrid, respectively.
Bencic is expected to go deeper than the second round, despite those losses, and McNally, despite her win the other day, is below the standard of those two.
