Darja Semenistaja vs Peyton Stearns prediction
Former NCAA champion in singles competition with the University of Texas, Peyton Stearns knows how to handle pressure, having done so throughout her young career so far. She’s a very strong player on the hard court surface and has reached the fourth round at Flushing Meadows as recently as 2023. So the signs are good when it comes to the potential of Stearns making a sneaky run this year.
Darja Semenistaja made it to the main draw through the qualifying stage, dropping just one set across her three victories. But Stearns represents a substantial step up and Semenistaja’s defence will be tested to the limit by Stearns’ offensive baseline play. Most importantly is that Stearns appears to be fully fit, with injuries having been a problem for her in the past.
Expect Stearns to wind up too strong for Semenistaja over the course of this encounter and backing the Cincinnati native over the qualifier has to be favoured.
