Simona Halep reaches the 4th round of the US Open for the 4th time in her career and for the first time since her quarter-final appearance at the 2016 US Open. The Romanian won her first two rounds in straight-sets and battled hard in the 3rd round against Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina defeating her 7-6(11), 4-6, 6-3 in an epic 2.5-hour clash.

Elina Svitolina continues her streak of reaching the 4th round as she makes it to the Round of 16 for the 4th year running. She will be looking to move further ahead as she had reached the semi-finals of the Slam back in 2019 and would like to improve it. She is yet to drop a set this week and comes for this clash with a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Russian Daria Kasatkina in the 3rd round.

Simona will come into the clash with a career Hardcourt record of 241-107 and a season record of 11-3 on the surface having gone 15-6 across all surfaces in her injury-filled season. Elina will take the court with a career Hardcourt record of 253-111 and a season record of 26-9 on the surface having a 36-16 record this season across all surfaces.

The numbers are just a testimonial to the greatness of these two players who promise a great clash in New York tomorrow. However, looking at their recent form Svitolina looks the one to progress ahead and continue her pursuit of the maiden Grand Slam title.

Prediction: Elina Svitolina to win in 3-sets.
