THE PREDICTION
This will be a fascinating encounter between former world number 13 Jennifer Brady, who has fast-tracked her return from a two-year absence in exceptional circumstances, and rising US star Peyton Stearns. 21-year-old Stearns reached the round of 16 at the US Open on her second appearance in New York earlier this month to set a career-high WTA world ranking of 43rd and she is not far from breaking it after qualifying with flying colours for her China Open debut. 28-year-old Brady beat Jelena Ostapenko in her first match back on tour since August 2021 and she reached the third round of the US Open before a three-set defeat to the returning Caroline Wozniacki. Almost a month off since then should see the American return to tour fighting fit and it is likely that Stearns has never faced a ball like Brady’s when everything is working together. Three sets seem likelier than two so back Brady to earn at least a set inside an accumulator or consider a one off on this match to need a decider.
