THE LOWDOWN
World number 97 Misaki Doi beat Storm Sanders in straight sets to reach the second round of the US Open. The 30-year-old has never made it past the second round here, or at any major tournament other than Wimbledon where she achieved a career-best round of 16 exit in 2016. 27-year-old Jessica Pegula blasted through her first round match on Tuesday, conceding just four games to Anastasia Potapova. The 23rd seed is in all three draws at the US Open and that could help her out later in the tournament as a tireless player on tour who needs more matches.
THE PREDICTION
Pegula and Doi have met each other plenty of times over the last few years but of their tour-level matches the head-to-head record is 2-0 to the American. Pegula should be considered something of a sleeper agent at the US Open right now, with so much of the conversation for contenders elsewhere in a packed, exciting draw. Take her to win this outright as someone who often needs a third set to get the job done.
