Elina Svitolina vs Maya Joint prediction

Elina Svitolina made an emphatic start to her US Open campaign, dismantling Solana Sierra 6-1 6-2 in just 51 minutes. The ninth seed controlled the match with her accuracy and depth of shot, barely allowing Sierra an opportunity to settle. It continued an excellent season for Svitolina, who now has a win-loss record of 43-12 in 2026. She reached the Canadian Open semi-finals last month, beating Amanda Anisimova and Ekaterina Alexandrova before eventually losing to Iga Swiatek in three sets.

She now faces Maya Joint. The Australian recovered from a set down to beat Liudmila Samsonova. Joint won 74% of her points on first serve and converted four of five break opportunities as she completed a 3-6 6-2 6-2 victory. The result was encouraging for Joint after a difficult season, with only one quarter-final in Adelaide right at the start of the year.

Given the authority of her opening performance and her brilliant record in 2026, Svitolina should have enough consistency to progress.
