Hailey Baptiste vs Katerina Siniakova prediction
Despite this being her home Grand Slam, it has not been a successful one for Hailey Baptiste over the course of her relatively young career so far. Until this year, Baptiste hadn't even reached the main singles draw since 2021, losing in the qualifiers for three years running. Her two previous first round appearances saw her beaten in the first round on both occasions.
Unfortunately for Baptiste, she’s been handed a tough draw in the form of a player in excellent form. Katerina Siniakova was victorious in Warsaw, her last WTA event prior to the US Open, whilst she also reached the last eight of the Prague Open. Such results will have proven huge confidence boosters for the Czech, who has momentum in favour.
When taking into account Baptiste’s lack of form in comparison, not to mention her previous US Open struggles, the smart move here is to back a Siniakova victory.
