Maria Sakkari vs Elsa Jacquemot prediction
Maria Sakkari achieved her best major result of the season as she made the third-round at the US Open before a heavy loss to Beatriz Haddad Maia. Nevertheless, the Greek is now up to 55 in the world and will hope for a strong end to the season after a troubling campaign at times. She did reach the quarter-finals of the Washington Open at the end of July, which stands as her joint best result of the season.
Elsa Jacquemot took the first set against 2021 US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez in New York but failed to maintain her level and went down in three sets in her second-round match. Nevertheless, she has shown a decent level over the past few weeks, having made a run from qualifying to the quarter-finals in Cleveland just a week prior to the major taking place.
She leads the head-to-head 1-0, having defeated Sakkari in the first-round of the French Open earlier this year. This could be a close encounter, but the former world number three does have some momentum with her after New York and is already a past winner of the event.
