Taylor Townsend vs Antonia Ruzic prediction
Taylor Townsend came into the US Open mixed doubles tournament last week as favourite to win it outright alongside Ben Shelton. Alas, the USA pairing were undone by Danielle Collins and Christian Harrison in the quarter-finals. Now we’re set to see Townsend in singles competition with a tricky opponent in prospect.
Antonio Ruzic is an exciting Croatian player who comes off the back of a quarter-final appearance in Monterrey, a tournament which saw her defeat seeded opposition in Anastasia Pavlychenkova. Other notable results post-Wimbledon include victories over Lucia Bronzetti at the Nordea Open and a narrow 7-5, 7-5 loss at the hands of Karolina Muchova in Montreal.
We often see surprise results at Grand Slams such as the US Open, just ask Alexandra Eala. Ruzic comes into this contest as the underdog and the value play appears to be backing her to overcome the doubles specialist.
