THE LOWDOWN
It is difficult to predict what we will see from world number 14 Leylah Fernandez this fortnight after the Canadian recently returned to the tour from a bad foot injury. The 19-year-old finished runner-up to Emma Raducanu in a miraculous final here last season having done most of the heavy-lifting in the draw, with searing performances against the likes of Grand Slam champions Naomi Osaka, Angelique Kerber alongside top 10 stars Elina Svitolina and Aryna Sabalenka. Fernandez successfully defended her Monterrey title back in February and she put in a huge shift to reach the quarter-finals of Roland-Garros before her injury hampered strong progress.
THE PREDICTION
World number 93 Oceane Dodin has lost in the first round in each of her last eight Grand Slam appearances to suggest this is exactly the kind of opener Leylah Fernandez could do with. The 19-year-old will be welcomed like a hero in New York after winning plenty of new fans last year and it is likely that she can go deeper than Raducanu this time around backed to the hilt by home crowd. Take the Canadian to win in straight sets.
