THE LOWDOWN
CAROLINE GARCIA
Caroline Garcia comes into this event ranked number 51 in the world as of March 2021. That is a reflection of her decline given her highest ranking of 4th in the world was set in September 2018. Garcia has reached the third round of the US Open on four occasions. Since the Australian Open in January 2016, the Frenchwoman has played at 20 Grand Slam events and she has only failed to make it past the first round on four occasions.
HARRIET DART
Harriet Dart made it through the competitive qualification tournament to reach this first round. Dart won a three-set match against Peyton Stearns before requiring back-to-back tiebreakers to defeat Lucrezia Stefanini and then another three-set match against Viktoriya Tomova. She should be well prepared for the competition given the amount of competitive Tennis she has just played. She enjoyed mixed doubles success over the summer alongside Joe Salisbury reaching the final of the Wimbledon event but in terms of the singles format, she has only made it through the first round on two occasions in the six Grand Slams that she has made it to the finals in.
THE PREDICTION
Dart’s run of competitive and tight encounters in her qualifying campaign is likely to continue in this match as well. A three-set game is likely with both players having similar advantages and disadvantages for their game. A result might be too close to call but overs for games played looks a strong bet for this one.
