THE LOWDOWN
World number nine Barbora Krejcikova conceded just four games to Astra Sharma in the first round of the US Open. The Roland-Garros champion has lost just three times since claiming her first WTA title at the Strasbourg Open in late May. World number 119 Christina McHale beat fellow American Emma Navarro on Monday, also in straight sets. The former world number 24 has one WTA title to her name so far from the 2016 Tokyo Open.
THE PREDICTION
Christina McHale’s best shot at a deep run at the US Open should come in the Women’s Doubles this fortnight after drawing one of the shortest draws in the sport right now. 25-year-old Barbora Krejcikova’s meteoric rise up the rankings this year has been nothing short of extraordinary, and she too will be aiming for both the Singles and Doubles title here as she achieved at Roland-Garros. In her last six tournaments, the Czech has either won the title or lost to the winner. With the US Open winner unlikely to be Christina McHale, take Krejcikova to win in two.
