THE LOWDOWN
CAROLINE GARCIA
World number 17 Caroline Garcia made it 11 wins on the spin after beating Coco Gauff for a first time on Tuesday, beating the impressive teenager in two near-perfect sets. The former world number four is through to the semi-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time after previously reaching the quarter-finals at Roland-Garros in 2017. Garcia has won three WTA title son tour this season, bringing her career total up to 10, on three different surfaces including a third career Masters title at the Cincinnati Open three weeks ago.
ONS JABEUR
28-year-old Ons Jabeur overcame in-form Ajla Tomljanovic in straight sets on Tuesday but the match was a little fraught at times as the usually exuberant Tunisian felt the pressure. The world number five could finish as high world number two is she reaches the final in New York and she looks in great shape now to achieve her goal of becoming the first Arab to qualify for the WTA Finals at the end of the season. Jabeur has already broken one milestone by becoming the first African to reach a Grand Slam final at Wimbledon, where she took the first set before Elena Rybakina wrestled the title form her grasp.
THE PREDICTION
There is a storied rivalry between former junior peers Ons Jabeur and Caroline Garcia but the Tunisian has so far claimed both of their tour-level victories. A straight-sets victory in the first round here back in 2019 was backed-up with a three-set result in a quick rematch at the 2020 Australian Open but Garcia has been making a habit of overturning one-sided head-to-head records this fortnight. The Frenchwoman has been playing the best tennis on the WTA tour for a few weeks now and her 11-match winning streak includes six wins over players she had either never beaten before or trailed to in their respective head-to-heads. Beating Coco Gauff was a significant test on Tuesday, with the winner of the US Open likely to come from that battle. Back the red-hot Frenchwoman to win outright here.
