IGA SWIATEK VS KAMILLA RAKHIMOVA PREDICTION
Iga Swiatek has endured mixed results on tour of late and will want to get herself back on top of the Tennis world here following disappointment at both Wimbledon and the Olympics. Another early exit on the grass of SW19 was followed by only a bronze medal in Paris, which would've greatly frustrated the four-time French Open champion.
A recent semi-final finish at the Cincinnati Open sets Swiatek up for Flushing Meadows and for Kamilla Rakhimova, the challenge ahead is a daunting one. Having reached the third round back in 2021, Rakhimova shouldn’t be underestimated, but Swiatek is a huge step up in class and if on her game, will likely dominate this contest throughout. Therefore, back victory in straight sets for the 23-year-old.
