THE LOWDOWN
ANASTASIJA SEVASTOVA
Anastasija Sevastova comes into the US Open ranked number 65 in the world. That is some decline from her career high of 11th in October 2015. The 31 year-old Latvian had her career best at Wimbledon this summer so there is signs of a revival but she is some way off her semi-final appearance at the US Open in 2019.
KATERINA SINIAKOVA
Katerina Siniakova sits 53rd in the world at the moment according to the world Tennis rankings. That is down from her career high of 31st in October 2018. She has specialised in doubles tennis with a silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics as well as her third Grand Slam title at Roland-Garros earlier this summer.
THE PREDICTION
Despite specialising in the doubles format, Siniakova will remain the relatively comfortable favourite for this match. Anastasija Sevastova is on a losing streak of five matches and comes into the tournament completely out of any form. Siniakova is unlikely to worry the main contenders for the Grand Slam title but she should make it safely through to the second round here.
