THE PREDICTION

World number 197 Taylor Townsend reached the round of 16 here back in 2019, stunning Simona Halep in the second round before a three-set defeat to eventual champion Bianca Andreescu. The 26-year-old is back from maternity leave and looking to move back into the top 100 on tour, with a three-set tussle against Ajla Tomljanovic at the Cincinnati Open last time out suggesting she can. World number 83 Katerina Siniakova also set her best Grand Slam showing in 2019 with a run to the round of 16 at Roland-Garros on her favoured clay but the Czech’s best successes have come in a hugely fruitful doubles partnership with Barbora Krejcikova. The pair have won two Grand Slams this season at the Australian Open and Roland-Garros but Siniakova’s singles form is in somewhat of a lull right now. Townsend looked in good shape in Cincinnati and, backed by the home crowd as popular former junior number one, taking her to win at least a set as the likelier of two capable victors looks the sensible option.
