Lulu Sun vs Caroline Dolehide prediction
Lulu Sun is still searching for her first win of the season after three straight losses. Her season began at the Australian Open, where she was defeated by Linda Fruhvirtova in the first-round. This was followed by a loss to Lin Zhu in Manilla, and she went up a set against Magda Linette in Dubai, only to lose in three. The New Zealander will be hoping for an upturn in form this week in Austin, with her ranking precariously close to dropping outside of the top 100.
Caroline Dolehide is her opponent in the first-round. The American won both of her qualifying matches. She did not feature at the Australian Open and began her season in Vero Beach on the ITF circuit, making the quarter-finals. She currently has four wins from her first five matches of 2026.
There is pressure for Sun to perform, but Dolehide does have momentum on her side after those wins in qualifying and could make it difficult for the former Wimbledon quarter-finalist in round one.
