Yuliia Starodubtseva vs Sloane Stephens prediction

Sloane Stephens will be a heavy underdog against Yuliia Starodubtseva.

The 33-year-old American is no longer the force of old and yet to find a solid level following more time off tour.

The former US Open champion is down at 313 in the world and lacks match sharpness.

World number 58 Starodubtseva has significantly more rhythm if not the results of late, but the Ukrainian is enjoying a solid season and it’s unlikely Sloane will pick up just a third tour-level win of the year here.
