Yuliia Starodubtseva vs Maya Joint prediction
Yuliia Starodubtseva will be looking to end a four-match losing run as she faces Maya Joint in the first-round of the Canadian Open. She was beaten in the first-round at events in Eastbourne, Wimbledon and Memphis. Her best result of the season so far was a run to the final in Charleston; she defeated Renata Zarazua, McCartney Kessler and Madison Keys, before a defeat in the final to Jessica Pegula.
She takes on Maya Joint. The Australian’s poor season continued in Memphis last week as she was defeated by 16-year-old Kristina Liutova, though the teenager would go on to win the event. Joint has just seven wins from 25 matches in this campaign, but she did win her match in qualifying to secure a place in the main draw.
Starodubtseva’s last win on the tour occurred against Joint, as she came from a set down to beat her in the first-round of the Nottingham Open in June. That was their only previous meeting. This is an ideal opportunity for the Ukrainian to return to winning ways.
