BIANCA ANDREESCU VS JASMINE PAOLINI PREDICTION

Big things are expected of Wimbledon runner-up Jasmine Paolini, who is no doubt determined to go one better at her latest grand slam. However, the hard court of Flushing Meadows has not been kind to her across the Italian’s career, with Paolini having yet to reach the third round of the US Open. It’s important to note though, that Paolini’s game has vastly improved over the past couple of years and she’s now in the best position to really kick on at this tournament.

Bianca Andreescu has fond memories of this competition, will have crowd support and her resilience can never be underestimated. This is likely to prove a very close contest and one that is well worth backing to be decided in three sets rather than two, regardless of who comes out on top.

BIANCA ANDREESCU VS JASMINE PAOLINI TIP: 3 SETS TO BE PLAYED
