With Aryna having no tournament wins since March and Elena having an injury scare, it is surprising to see these two in the final. If it was back in February then everyone would have seen the top 2 in the world contesting the title. But here we are and both are back in good form.

With Aryna having no tournament wins since March and Elena having an injury scare, it is surprising to see these two in the final. If it was back in February then everyone would have seen the top 2 in the world contesting the title. But here we are and both are back in good form. The final promises to be close and with the outcome being very much on the day a 3 set play is best.
DTM recommends
A.Sabalenka v E.Rybakina to be 3 sets

The top 6 seeds have all made their way tot he quarter finals. It would be a surprise if the top 4 seeds didn't all come through their matches but I am sure Andreeva. Noskova, Zheng and Navarro all fancy going further as well. However hard court form is worth sticking with and Rybakina and Pegula seem the most likely to win again:) Noskov

The last 4 places in the quarter finals will be discovered by the end of today's play. At an event where the top players have generally come through with the exception of Anisimova and Svitolina you can expect further success for Andreeva and Swiatek.

The last 4 places in the quarter finals will be discovered by the end of today's play. At an event where the top players have generally come through with the exception of Anisimova and Svitolina you can expect further success for Andreeva and Swiatek. Rybakina against Osaka could prove to be a difficult match up for both and Jovic could trouble Gauff but could well be feeling the effects of her 3 hour marathon with Eala. A few great matches but only Mirra Andreeva stands out as a guarantee winner today:)
DTM recommends
M.Andreeva to beat A.Potapova

If Madison Keys had converted a 5-0 lead in the final set it would have been another 100% success rate yesterday. Now with just 16 players left the run for the finish line begins. Pegula, Sabalenka will be strong favourites to make it from the top half but the winner of Kostyuk and Noskova will be also eyeing up a final spot. Marta Kostyu

Pegula, Sabalenka will be strong favourites to make it from the top half but the winner of Kostyuk and Noskova will be also eyeing up a final spot. Marta Kostyuk should prevail over Noskova but you never know. 3 sets is the play here.

A.Sabalenka to beat T.Townsend
J.Pegula to beat S.Cirstea

DTM is flying high this week with numerous winners as all the in form players continue to win. The same seems likely today with Osaka, Keys and Andreeva the 3 players to focus on. Osaka has peaked all year at the slams and will have too many weapons for Mertens. Keys escaped in the previous round and she will feel invincible against an erratic Zheng. Andreeva appears to be on a going week which could see her go much further:)

M.Andreeva to beat N.Bartunkova

Jessica Pegula is close to her best and as each round goes by she will be seriously hoping to peak for the last few rounds. Fernandez will be a good test in round 3 but the American is fancied to win.

Jessica Pegula is close to her best and as each round goes by she will be seriously hoping to peak for the last few rounds. Fernandez will be a good test in round 3 but the American is fancied to win. The higher ranked players have done well so far but Taylor Townsend is serving really well and she could be the surprise in the top section. She is worth a shot to beat D.Shnaider. It feels like the Americans are going to have a good home slam.
DTM recommends
J.Pegula to beat L.Fernandez
T.Townsend to beat D.Shnaider

The higher ranked players have been dominating the early match ups this year. This trend looks like continuing on Thursday. Swiatek, Keys and Eala all look likely to progress to round 3. If there is to be a shock it could be that TImofeeva beats Mertens but I cannot back that as it is more speculative than with any ceetainty:)

Another good day saw the first round draw to a close although there are several unfinished matches that carried over to Wednesday due to rain. The roof allowed some of the favourites to complete their matches with undue fuss. Coco Gauff continues to look secure as she won her first match against Zeynep Sonmez. Today sees the top half start their last 64 matches. Wins seem likely for Taylor Townsend, Marta Kostyuk, Leylah Fernandez, Karolina Muchova and local favourite Jessica Pegula.

T.Townsend to beat T.Preston
M.Kostyuk to beat S.Stephens

The first round matches finish today. All eyes will be on the last match of the round when Alex Eala takes on the American Mary Stoiana.

The first round matches finish today. All eyes will be on the last match of the round when Alex Eala takes on the American Mary Stoiana. The world #17 has a good draw and unless expectation and pressure overcome her, Eala should be winning this match. Elsewhere Eva Lys has to start winning again soon. Her life off the court has certainly got a lot busier but even allowing for this she should beat Knutson. Elise Mertens will also win as should Iva Jovic.
DTM recommends
A.Eala to beat M.Stoiana
E.Lys to beat G.Knutson
E.Mertens to beat K.Quevedo
I.Jovic to beat M.Frech

Coco Gauff has an excellent chance to secure her second US Open title. Her win in Cincinnati was further evidence that her best tennis is very close and her B game is now more than a match for the others as well. Having been positioned in the bottom half she has avoided Sabalenka and Pegula. Rybakina appears unlikely to play which leaves Swiatek, Andreeva as her main two rivals to reach the final. Gauff has beaten Swiatek the last 4 times and has her number at present. Andreeva has not been playing well enough on this surface to convince me she can win in New York. Osaka is the most dangerous outsider in this half.

Coco Gauff to win the title

The draw has positioned Aryna Sabalenka with Jessica Pegula, Linda Noskova and Karolina Muchova. This is a good draw for the world #1 despite her poor form since April. In her half Jessica Pegula has to be considered the big threat although Muchova looked good in winning the mixed doubles. In the bottom half the in form duo of Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek lie alongside Elena Rybakina. The number #2 seed is not guaranteed to play given her injury scare in Cincinnati. Beyond these 3 players, Osaka, Anisimova and Bencic are good alternatives as well as Alex Eala and Iva Jovic. And we haven't even mentioned Mirra Andreeva. This half looks loaded with potential finalists. On form Coco Gauff is a sensible option but it would not be a surprise if Aryna Sabalenka comes back to her best form and takes the title as well?
DTM recommends
Aryna v Coco final is very possible in 2026
