Aryna Sabalenka vs Sloane Stephens: Preview

Aryna, with three titles and a Wimbledon semifinal has been fantastic this season. She will, however, have been disappointed by her early exit at the Tokyo Olympics. She lost in the second round to Donna Vekic of Croatia in a thrilling 3 setter. Being the number 1 seed, she is expected to make a deep run into the tournament.

Stephens has been on and off her whole career, and this year seems like an off-year for her. She is always a threat to win or lose any match, as evidenced at Wimbledon. There, she beat former champion Petra Kvitova in straight sets then lost to wildcard entrant Liudmila Samsonova. In the first round, she battled past Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska in a 3 setter.
