THE PREDICTION
20-year-old Leylah Fernandez finished runner-up to fellow youngster Emma Raducanu here two years ago in one of the most extraordinary nights in tennis history. The Canadian set a career-high WTA world ranking of 13th soon after following her remarkable run to the final via wins over former champions Naomi Osaka, Angelique Kerber and current world number two Aryna Sabalenka in the semi-finals. A three-set win over Beatrix Haddad-Maia at the Canada Masters three weeks ago suggests she is ready to put in a similar fight here but world number 20 Ekaterina Alexandrova remains the favourite on form. The 28-year-old finished runner-up to Sara Sorribes Tormo in Cleveland last week to bring some strong hardcourt tennis into New York and she only recently proved herself capable of a strong run at a Grand Slam with a round of 16 exit, to Sabalenka, at Wimbledon. Back Alexandrova to earn at least a set as the likelier of two very capable victors in a match that looks likely to need a decider.
