Jannik Sinner over Taylor Fritz 

Is it truly possible that an American man can win the US Open? Maybe, as in 2003, Andy Roddick took it, and he played spectacularly, but he could not do it again after that. 

Perhaps  Fritz can snag it, yet he is an underdog because the Italian and No. 1 Sinner, who is on fire, and his strokes are massive.

The San Diegan Fritz has only won at the ATP 1000s, at the 2022 Indian Wells, but currently, he is playing so much better with some terrific shots. He can tally, side to side, and to mix it up, too, but he has to try to put it away whenever he gets a chance.  

Sinner has become much smarter on the court. Even though he might make some errors, he is able to retrieve the ball and refocus. His first serve is very strong and his backhand and forehand are forceful. These skills helped him win the 2024 Australian Open and, more recently, the Cincinnati tournament.

Fritz can also vary his first serve, placing it into the corners while adding spin or flattening it out near the lines.

“I’ve always enjoyed playing him,” said Fritz. “To be honest, I don’t think that I’m going to be put in a more stressful situation. … When I play good tennis, I think that level is good enough to win.”

Sinner has won a Slam once, at the 2024 Austrian Open, and recently, he won Cincinnati, a few weeks ago, so he is locked in.

They have played each other twice at Indian Wells, California, on the hard courts; once in 2021 and once in 2023. The American won at Indian Wells in March 2022 under the hot weather conditions. Since Roddick retired, after coming close to winning at Wimbledon and the US Open multiple times, he has won many big titles. However, the current American male players have not won any ATP 1000 titles except for Fritz. Maybe they are ready to achieve it someday.00 titles except for Fritz. Maybe they are ready to achieve it someday.

“I think it gives hope and shows that we’re knocking on the door of winning a Slam, and we have this generation, this group of guys where there’s four or five of us that are actually at this level,” Fritz said about Tommy Paul, Sebastian Korda, and Ben Shelton“ I mean, it shows that we’re all moving in the right direction. I think that whenever one of us does something, the others follow, and the others get belief from it. I think this is just the start for all of us.”

He will try to jump against Sinner, in the first set, and hopefully, to shut him down. However, Sinner is more composed and he believes he can hitch his heavy strokes. He might back up a little bit, but Sinner will rise very high. He will win it 4-6, 7-6, 7-6, 6-3.

Aryna Sabalenka over Jessica Pegula 

Way back when Serena Williams won the 1999 US Open, she and Venus took off, all of them. But now, the American Jessica Pegula finally made it into the final, beating Karolina Muchova in the semis. She was on fire, finally.

Yet Aryna Sabalenka is also on a role, and in the semis, she took off in the tight second set, and she beat Emma Navarro.

Now, both of them want to win on an amazing day.

Pegula has had a terrific five weeks, winning Toronto, reaching the final in Cincinnati, and racing at the US Open. She is much better from side to side. She can smash her forehand, backhand, crosscourt, and down the line. She is patient, and she can mix it up, too.

The Belarussian Sabalenka can also run down and then nail it very deep. She is one of the biggest hitters out there, and at the 2023 and 2024 Australian, she won it, and now she wasn’t nervous at all. She has matured a lot and can try to be more patient. A few years ago, she would get frustrated, and then she would be ticked off. Yet, not anymore, so she wants to attack early and often.

The American Pegula is also pretty smart on the court. However, Sabalenka beat her 6-3, 7-5 in Cincinnati when she outhit her. She has a 5-2 head-to-head against Pegula but could change her direction. It should be close, both of them.

“We had a lot of great battles in the past, really difficult, tight matches,” Sabalenka said. “[Pegula’s] playing incredible tennis. Feels like she’s back on track. Cannot wait to play against her.”

Yes, she will, but what about the 30-year-old Pegula, who took her a long time to play more consistently, week after week? She can certainly go for it when the fans cheer her and hope she can rise so high. 

“So to be able to overcome all those challenges and say that I get a chance at the title Saturday is what we play for as players, let alone being able to do that in my home country here, in my home Slam. It’s perfect, really,” Pegula said.

However, Sabalenka also likes to pump it up after she hits a startling winner. In the third set, she will pound her feet and dominate her with her forehand on the lines. Sabalenka will take it 6-3, 5-7, 6-4.

Taylor Fritz over Frances Tiafoe 

It has been a very long time since the American men reached the final at the US Open. Andy Roddick did, winning it in 2003, beating Juan Carlos Ferrero,  but after that, he couldn’t win it again. Either Taylor Fritz or Frances Tiafoe will reach the final for the first time, but which one will do it? Those to know each other well, their friends, and they met each other 10 years ago, and then, they became fast conversations. However, Fritz has beaten him six times, and he only won one time. Clearly, then, Fritz is the favorite. The question is, can Tiafoe attack him early? He does really like the rallies, but so does Fritz. The San Diegoan has improved a lot over the past 11 days, smashing his forehand and his backhand, and also, with his fine first serve. 

Tiafoe did not have a good year, but then, he became so efficient, and he decided to focus point after point. He is so quick and can go for it when he has an opportunity and try to crush the ball. 

They also practiced with each other a lot, so on Friday night, they would know where to go and, if they had to, to change it up.

Fritz is slightly more accurate on the court, but Tiafoe reached into the semis at Flushing Meadow two ago. He couldn’t get into the final as he lost against Carlos Alcaraz.

Yet this a new day. This is Fritz’s first Slam semifinal,  but he is itching to go. He will try to be creative and try to lop in the second serve.  Tiafoe wants to win it badly, but Fritz will take it, winning it 4-6, 6-4, 5-7, 6-2, 7-5. 

Jannik Sinner over Jack Draper

These two have played each other just one time, and Jack Draper beat Jannik Sinner 7-6, 7-6 in London/Queens Club three years ago on the grass, but now, in the US Open, it is on the hardcourts, faster, for sure. They are both young, and they still have to learn a bit more, but the Italian Sinner is ranked No.1, so clearly, he is darn good with his heavy forehand and backhand. He is on a roll, beating almost everyone, but that doesn’t mean that the left, Draper, is gaining ground, and he could shock him.  

Sinner put down Daniil Medvedev 6-2, 1-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the quarters with some fantastic strokes. He can become ticked off when he cannot think inside the box, but currently, he can re-do it or breathe. He won Cincinnati a few weeks ago, so he is locked in.

However, with his cool spin, Draper can also dance when his forehand stays in, and he can jump it on his massive shots. This year, he was up and down, week after week, yet the Britain pays attention.

In Montreal, they played doubles, and now they are good friends.

“Obviously lefty, it’s also tough to see, as there are fewer lefties than righties. You know, his ball striking was always very, very good,”  said Sinner.

“It was nice to share the court with him in doubles in Montreal. We got to know each other even more. We text each other when we have good or bad times, trying to keep ourselves up. It’s a great friendship…It’s going to be a tough match. He hasn’t lost one set yet. He’s playing great. He’s serving great. I saw also the match today, he’s hitting very, very strong. So it’s going to be a tough match.” 

Sinner has won a Slam once, at the 2024 Austrian Open, but Draper has yet to go to the final. He will become nervous, but  Sinner won’t, and he will win it in four tough sets.

Karolina Muchova over Beatriz Haddad Maia 

The Czech has beaten Haddad Maia all three times, two of them in the hardcourts last year in Cincinnati. Muchova is on the role, once again, and now, her body is 100 percent. She can hit all directions, and also, to spin it, and flat, too. Haddad Maia has had a terrific event, and she is very enthusiastic. She can try to mash the ball. Yes, there are times when she will try to engage the rallies, for a long time, but in the US Open, she has to go for it, whenever she has a real chance. 

Muchova has gone very deep in the Slams, but the Brazilian hasn’t done that much. Therefore, Muchova will take it in two tough sets.

Alex de Minaur over Jack Draper

The Aussie de Minaur is rocking and rolling, and while a few weeks ago, he hurt his body and almost decided not to play. Yet he recovered, so now, he is ready to dance, on the court. He is very consistent, with his forehand and his backhand, and he can also make an attempt to find the lines.

The 22-year-old Draper is also having a terrific event, winning four straight matches, and he must be thinking that he can go even further. He did win Stuttgart, and the Britain is stronger all the time.

 However, de Minaur studies where he can go and change it when he has to. He has lost some critical marches, but he is getting much smarter. De Minaur won’t get nervous, so he will win it in four interesting sets.

Iga Swiatek over Jessica Pegula 

Is it possible that the American will finally reach the semis at the Grand Slams? Pegula is inching for it, but how can she chop down the No. 1 Swiatek, who has won five Slams? That won’t be easy, as the Polish person can lock it in, and then she can swing it all over the place. She is very powerful, and she can shatter her forehand and her backhand. Yes, this season, she has been very good, but she has lost some key matches.  

She has beaten Pegula six times, but she has lost three matches. The 30-year-old Pegular has refined a lot during the summer, and not only is she so normal, but her backhand, and at the net, is very stout. 

Pegula has been trying to win at a Slam, and at all four, as she has been in the quarters, yet she has not been into the semis. If it time to do it? She must be thinking about whether she can trip her up, but Swiatek knows that when it is in the third set, she can buckle down. Once again, Swiatek will throw in some wonderful winners, and she will take it 6-4 in the third set.

Daniil Medvedev over Jannik Sinner 

Is this a real toss-up? Maybe, as they have played each other 12 times, and the Russian has won seven times, while the Italian took it five times. Yes, Medvedev is a slight favorite, but he is 28 years old, while Sinner is 23 years old. His forehand and his backhand can be stunning, and his first serve is spot, on. Medvedev also loves to rally and can sit in the backcourt for hours anytime he wants to. They played each other four years ago, so they know each other’s game. This year, Sinner beat Medvedev in the final at the Aussie Open 6-3 in the fifth, and then at Wimbledon,  Medvedev took him down 6-3 in another five-setter, again, in the quarters.  Medvedev can look odd when he is playing poorly, but over the past nine days in New York, he is playing unbelievably. Because of that, he will edge Sinner in four sets, 7-6, 6-7, 6-3, 6-4. 

Iga Swiatek over Liudmila Samsonova

Is it possible that the Russian Samsonova will play fantastically and stun over No. 1 Swiatek? Probably not, but Samsonova can sit inside the box and rally forever. She won the Netherlands this year, but other than that, she did not go deep enough. Samsonova is somewhat consistent, but she can also miss the ball too much.

Swiatek has lost here and there, but she also wins a huge amount. She is so strong, and she can also attach all the time. She knows when to put it away and rarely backs off. Swiatek is feeling very good and will win it in two easy sets.

Alex de Minaur over Jordan Thompson

The Aussies haven’t played each other since 2022, on the hardcourts in Miami, and de Minaur won it in two sets. He has beaten him four times, and he only lost one, so clearly, de Minaur is a better player. Veteran Thompson has won some fine matches, especially on the hardcourts, but he has yet to be ranked in the top 25. Maybe he will, or maybe not.  

De Minaur had a solid season in 2024, and he beat some very good people, chopping them down. He is motivated and likes to rally until he can try to explode and put it away. He will do it when de Minaur takes it in four long sets.

Jannik Sinner over Tommy Paul

This is somewhat fascinating, as the No. 1 Sinner has beaten him twice, on the clay and the hardcourts, and Paul beat him on the grass. While they haven’t played each other so much, knowing which way to go was very important. They both can rally in the back and hit it down the line or crosscourt. They can also mix it up and try to fool them. Their first serves are quite good, but the Italians can throw it with big aces. The American Paul has improved so much over the past two years, but so has Sinner, who won the 2024 Aussie Open. Plus, he just won Cincinnati. Sinner is almost on the top to win another gigantic tournament. However, this week, he still has a long way to take it. Regardless, Sinner will win it in five wild sets.

Jessica Pegula over Diana Shnaider 

The American is still going, not pushing around, but trying to be more aggressive and nail it in the lines. Over the past six weeks, Pegula began to find out where to go and bring it back. She truly knows where she can drive it, very deep. Pegula has never won a Grand Slam yet, but she has come into the quarterfinals to beat most people. However, that doesn’t mean she can fold during the critical matches. 

Shnaider is super young, only 20 years old, so clearly, she is rising fast. She likes to try to bash the ball, especially with her terrific backhand, as she is also darn fast. Yes, the Russian has won several matches, winning three titles in 2024, taking Thailand, France, and Germany. Not the biggest ones, but important ones.  It will take her a couple of years to understand what she does, but she is currently ranked No. 20, so she is already phenomenal. However, they did play each other, and Pegula beat  Shnaider 6-3, 6-4 in the semis in Toronto on the hardcourts. Pegula will do it again; this time, she will grab it in three terrific sets.

Caroline Wozniacki over Jessika Ponchet

The Frenchwoman Ponchet has had a terrific week, qualifying, and beating a couple solid players. But Ponchet hasn’t gone very deep at the majors, but she is trying. The former No. 1 Wozniacki is always trying to gain her ground, and to be more aggressive, especially with her so-so forehand. Yes, she is older, but she  likes to play, and she can re-act, over and over again. She did stop for a while back in 2022, to have a baby, and now the 34-year-old is ready to beat a lot of different people. Maybe she will, but this year, she has been so-so. However, when if she can lock in, then she can grind it down. Wozniacki will win it two, simple sets. 

Iga Swiatek over Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova

Will the No. 1 continue to rise up even further? Swiatek just destroyed one of her players, and then she said that it is back on, playing with her her hard strokes. She can bash the ball, and put it away, side to side.

However, Pavlyuchenkova can also be more authoritative. She does like to attack somewhat early, and try to hit it close in the corners. Yet while the Russian has gone deep before at the Slams, but she will trip it up. She could upset Swiatek, but currently, she will out-race her, and she will win it 6-3, 6-4.    

Daniil Medvedev over Flavio Cobolli

Both Novak Djokovic and  Carlos Alcaraz are out, which is a shocker, but they are done, so now maybe the Russian can win it again. Medvedev  is a huge, consistent hitter, but he doesn’t come into the net, much, and while he has won a lot of matches, he also folds. In reality, he does try all the time, but he does get frustrated, and then he slaps the ball way out.

However he is the favorite, but they have never played each other, so it is a new match. The Italian, Cobolli, is clearly rising, and while he is still learning, he beat a number of some solid players. The No. 31 reached into the final in Washington, which was terrific, as he pushed himself when he had on the hardcourt. His forehand and his backhand are solid, but he still needs to improve his serve and his return. Medvedev can read with there strokes, and see what he should to. On Saturday, Medvedev will grab it in four, entertaining, sets.

Alex de Minaur over Daniel Evans

The Aussie de Minaur  is playing so wonderful, even when he is missing some simple shots. He will just play on, knowing that very soon, his forehand and his backhand will climb up again. Over the past two years, he improved a lot, with his return and also, at the net.

Evans has also been super solid, week after week. Yes, he can lose, but he plays all the time, so he can focus, wherever he  feels good. He does like to rally, and also, he can leap on the lines. The No. 10 de Minaur wants to go all the way at the Slams, and maybe he will, but first he has to chop down all comers. He will on Saturday, beating Evans in a marathon, 7-5 in the fifth.

Jannik Sinner over Alex Michelsen

The young American Michelsen is moving upwards, hitting the ball even harder. He is 6-foot-4, and his forehand is hefty, but right now, he still needs to improve his return and backhand.

The No. 1 Sinner can be in trouble when dealing with a potential suspension. But he managed to stay at all the tournaments, so now, he must focus constantly. When he is on, he is a phenomenal player and can put it away when he has to. The sinner has played a good amount, and it is early so that he will smash Michelsen ASAP. He will win it in three fast sets.

Jessica Pegula over Sofia Kenin

Already, it is a war.  Pegula has had an excellent month, winning in Toronto and reaching the final in Montreal. She was very good, beating almost all of them, hitting more aggressively and early, too. She was locked in, side to side. When she is on, she can take down almost anyone, but over the years, in the Grand Slams, she can panic.

Kenin can do the same thing as she did once, winning the 2020 Australian Open. Then, she was locked in, and her confidence was so high. However, the next year, she started to slip, and she lost her control a lot. Then, she decided to stop to understand why she failed. Now, Kenin is back, but she can still fold, yet her forehand and backhand are powerful, and she can paint on the lines.

They have played each other four times, and it is split. Now, it is different because they want to go even further into the second week. They both think that if they can stay in the rallies, whoever can nail it into the corners and take a winner. It will be three sets, but Pegular will raise again, and she will win it 7-5.

Naomi Osaka over Karolina Muchova

They haven’t played each other since 2021, so it is a new day. Osaka has twice won four Grand Slams, including the US Open, so she loves New York. She is a gigantic hitter and will go for it early, but this year, she has been so-so. Maybe she is finally back.

Muchova is also rising again because the Czech became hurt, but the veteran can look very solid and going super deep at the Slams. Last year in the US Open, she reached the semis until Coco Gauff out-hit her with her massive backhand. However, Muchova can change up some new tactics, so she will try to fool Osaka. Yes, there will be some fantastic rallies, and while Osaka will miss some crazy shots, out, yet still, she is more powerful. Osaka will win it in three bizarre, cool sets.

Carlos Alcaraz over Boticvan Van de Zandschulp

The Spaniard can look terrific, but as he mentioned, he is not perfect, match after match. Yes, Alcaraz can hit many shots, with his topspin, his slice, and flat. He is quick, and he can also engage with his rallies. 

This has not been a good year with Van de Zandschulp, who reached No. 22 two years ago, but then he stopped. Maybe the Netherlands can add more exciting shots, but Alcaraz will crush him in three sets.

Sebastian Korda over Corentin Moutet

The American Korda has re-shaped his strokes, not all of it, but enough. Over the past two months, he tried to nail it deeper and sharper, cross-court. Yes, Korda can back off, and he will lose it early, but now, he is more stable. 

The Frenchman Moutet does have a thoughtful blend, and he can throw it all around, too. He can spin it, chop it and flatter it out, too. However, while Moutet has scored some fine wins, he isn’t high enough. Therefore,  Korda will win it in four sets.

Tommy Paul over Lorenzo Sonego

Each week, with Paul, it is possible that he can go very far or will lose somewhat early. He did win Queens on the grass, and he also reached the semis at the Olympics, grabbing a bronze. That is pretty, darn good. However, even though the No. 14 is right there to go super deep at the Slams, he has only done that once, at the 2023 Aussie Open, into the semis. Yet at the US Open, he once went into the quarters, and that is it. The time is right.

However, Paul has to deal with the Italian, Sonego, who just won the Winston-Salem Open. There were not many great players, but some were fine competitors.  Sonego is a veteran, and he has had some solid wins, but Paul is more steady now so that he will win it in four thoughtful sets.

Emma Raducanu over Sofia Kenin

Will the American Kenin finally play fantastically, set after set? Maybe not, as she went down for a long time, but can the 2020 Australian Grand Slam champion find in on the corners and explode? 

However, the other Britain, Raducanu, won the 2021 US Open, and then she was locked in. She was patient, and she would go for it in a second when she had a chance. Unfortunately, she got an injury, so she looks pretty good now, but not phenomenal yet. 

They are still young, and they have not played each other much, so perhaps there will be some different shots. Kenin will try to push her back, but she still gets nervous, and in the third set, she will make some key shots. That is why Raducanu will take it in three wild sets. 

Jasmine Paolini over Bianca Andreescu

The Italian has had a tremendous year, winning many matches, even against very good players. Paolini can hustle, and she can also mix it up, side to side. She is intense and thoughtful. 

However, the Canadian Bianca Andreescu also likes to rally, and then when she has an opportunity, she can try to paint on the lines. Five years ago, she won the 2019 US Open and stunned Serena Williams in the final. Then, it looked like that she would eventually become No. 1, but she hurt her knee. But when she returned, she did it again, wrecking her ankle. Now, Andreescu looked decent but not fantastic yet. 

How Paolini finally changed her tactics and her touch was tremendous, as she reached the finals at Roland Garros and Wimbledon. The 28-year-old is much more calm on the court, and she can re-adjust it, too. However, she has never gone into the third round at the US Open so that she will be solid this time. Paolini will grab it in three bizarre sets. 

The American women certainly have a chance to win it in New York, but there are some intense competitors, with the No. 1 Iga Swiatek, Naomi Osaka, Bianca Andreescu and Emma Raducanu, all who won it, here. However, the US people want to nail it, and snare it. Here are the top 32: 

No. 3: Coco Gauff

At the 2023 US Open in the final, she won it over Aryna Sabalenka, and it looked like that she would win it even more, with the Grand Slams. Yes, she has had some terrific matches this year, but right now, she did not win another major, so she can look very good, but her forehand is still up and down. At the 2024 Roland Garros, she lost in the third round, and she did some weird shots. She is still very young, so she should get better, gradually, at the net and return, but to win it at Flushing Meadows, she has to press on the gas. As Emma Navarro said,  “She’s getting constant attention, all the time, and that’s a lot to deal with. I have a lot of respect for her and how she handles that.” 

No. 6: Jessica Pegula 

She had two terrific tournaments at Toronto and Cincinnati. She won it in Canada, and in the United States, she was able to grind it, and nail the ball, but in the final, she went down versus Sabalenka. She was exhausted in the second set. However, Pegula really wants to win a Slam for the first time, as the 30-year-old wants to push herself when it is deep. She has yet to make into the semis at all, at the Slams, but she has been close, so this time, maybe she can change with some different strokes. She needs to serve better, and also, to attack more often. If she does, she will at least into the semis, or better. She hopes.

No. 11: Danielle Collins

She will retire at the end of the year as her body is wearing down, but other than that, the veteran has had a fantastic year in 2024, winning Miami and Charleston in April. The 30-year-old loves to hit the ball so hard, and she can go for it. When she is on, she can almost beat anyone, but the reason is that she has yet to win a Slam. The reason why was in the final at the 2022 Australian Open, and the steady Aussie, Ash Barty, Collins missed a couple of huge shots, and then she fell down. However, since the last time at the US Open, she will have a chance to go into the second week and then leap up in the air. She might not win it all, but she can have a legitimate opportunity to chop down some of the fine competitors. But she has to prove it, and dig deep.  

No. 13: Emma Navarro

She has had a tremendous year, with much more focus during the matches. She is now consistent, and she is more real when she goes for it, into the corners. However, she can lose when she is off, missing to crush it, out. She needs to serve harder and move it around where she will go. She really wants to go into the top 5, but even more, she certainly wants to win a Slam, soon. Believe it or not, she hasn’t won a match at the US Open, yet. She might go deep, but to win it now, that would be surprising.

No. 14: Madison Keys

She is just so hard to figure out if she can play more frequently, like now, she gets hurt, and she pulls out, all of the time. Yes, in May, she won Strasbourg, France, without losing a set. Her first serve, her forehand and her backhand are gigantic, but then, at Wimbledon and Toronto, she pulled out when she was injured. Yes, she went deep at the 2017 US Open into the final, but she couldn’t take it, as Sloane Stephens played tremendously. Keys can look phenomenal, but she hasn’t played much over the past month, so it looks like she will lose early.

It was very close, but Alexander Zverev came through at the end when he edged Ben Shelton 3-6, 7-6(3), 7-5  in the third. The American was darn close, but at the end, the German Zverev hit the gas and he raced off.   At least that the young player Shelton had a terrific tournament in Cincinnati, yet at the upcoming U.S. Open, he has to be more sound.

Zverev has to face versus the No. 1, Jannik Sinner, another one who can dominate it. But while he can look very good, but he can also become frustrated, when he can’t put it on the lines with his fine forehand and his backhand. He has matured over the past year, so he is more thoughtful, in the matches. He can explode, but so can Zverev, a consistent competitor. They have played each other five times, with Zverev winning it four times, and only once. They played each other at the U.S. Open twice, and Zverev grabbed it last year, in five difficult sets in the round of 16. While Sinner has improved a lot,  he has to prove it  on the hardcourts and show that he is much better  than last year. He won the 2024 Australian Open, so clearly, he does like to play on the hardcourts. However, he has to prove it, before to play on the tough three out of five in Flushing Meadows. 

“It took a lot of mental strength today. It was very tough conditions, very windy,” said  Sinner who beat Andrey Rublev 4-6, 7-5, 6-4. “I waited for my chance. I am very happy to make the semis.”

The  American Frances Tiafoe is finally playing much better, as he has reached in the semis. Tiafoe won the  first set 6-3 against Hubert Hurkacz, but then, the Poland person had to retire due to his injury. 

Tiafoe will play against Holger Rune or  Jack Draper.

Jessica Pegula is still on fire, when she  beat Leylah Fernandez 7-5, 6-7 (1), 7-6 (3).  That was over three hours, and she did not play great, but she really hung in there, and she hustled, too. She is on a winning streak. 

Pegula will face against Paula Badosa, who is also playing enthusiastic, and she will try to nail it  with her shots.

The No. 1, Iga Swiatek, is refreshed, and she wants to play harder and harder. She did win Roland Garros, two months ago, but she could not win Wimbledon or the Gold at the Olympics, but she can rise up, one more time. She will have to face another excellent player,  Arnya Sabalenka. Swiatek has beaten her eight times, but she has lost three losses. They will play a bunch of rallies, very hard hitting, and the winner will nail with her into the corners.
