Iga Swiatek vs Anett Kontaveit : Prediction

Iga will take the court with a career Hardcourt record of 45-19 and a season record of 14-6 on the surface with her all-surface record for the season at 30-10. Anett will come into the clash with a career Hardcourt record of 141-85 and a season record of 17-8 on the surface having a 26-13 season record on all surfaces.

It promises to be an exciting clash as both the players have been in good touch recently with Kontaveit coming to New York from her singles title in Cleveland. However, Iga remains the favourite to take the tie given her better consistency and ability to bounce back which she has shown on numerous occasions.

Prediction: Iga Swiatek to win in 3-sets.
