Maria Sakkari vs Donna Vekic prediction
Maria Sakkari has picked up a few more victories during this hard court swing as she prepares for the US Open. Sakkari reached the last eight in Washington but could go no any further than the second-round in both Montreal and Cincinnati, despite battling displays against top 15 players Jessica Pegula and Jasmine Paolini. She is now up to 65 in the world rankings.
Donna Vekic’s disappointing season continued as she lost in the first-round of the Cincinnati Open last time out to Sorana Cirstea. She has not made it past the second-round of a tournament since her round-of-16 finish in Madrid at the end of April. Her current hard court win-loss record this season will also be a concern, with 10 defeats from 15 matches.
The head-to-head is 6-4 in Vekic’s favour and she leads 4-2 on outdoor hard court. However, Sakkari did comfortably win their last encounter in Madrid in April 2024. This could be an interesting battle between two players who know each other’s game incredibly well. Vekic is ranked higher, but Sakkari has shown signs of life over the last month. We’re expecting the match to head to a decider.
