THE PREDICTION
Former world number five Jelena Ostapenko has seen each of her last six matches on tour go to deciding sets as she continues to search for her elusive best tennis on court but she should get better with each passing round in New York. Wins over Jasmine Paolini and Elina Avanesyan are solid enough to start a campaign but she faces a tougher test as the villain of the piece in this third round clash with home undersign Bernarda Pera, who has already knocked out one stuttering seed in Veronika Kudermetova. World number 73 Pera came back from a set down to beat Xiyu Wang on Wednesday for an even more impressive result, given Kudermetova’s recent form, and she beat Ostapenko in their only previous meeting at the Jurmala Open back in 2019. Three sets looks a tempting one-off option here given Ostapenko’s recent wobbles but the sensible call is taking the Latvian to earn at least a set as the likelier of two capable victors.
