The rain on Tuesday meant that Thursday’s matchups weren’t quite set until Wednesday evening, which delayed our picks. Never fear, though. We’re here to predict the best women’s matches on Day 4 of the US Open<\/a>, including a great one between Yulia Putinseva and Agniezska Radwanska. Our panelists today are myself (Yesh Ginsburg), editor Steen Kirby, and guest (and former LWOT editor) Hugo Jennings.<\/p>\n

Panelists Predictions US Open Women’s Day 4<\/h2>\n

Karolina Pliskova vs Nicole Gibbs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yesh:<\/em>
\nPliskova was in beastly form in her opening match, and not even an American crowd can do something to help Gibbs here. This match should be over fast.
\nPrediction: Pliskova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Hugo:<\/em>
\nMats Wilander has already tipped Pliskova to win a Grand Slam in the future, and it is very unlikely that the World No. 1 will have any trouble against Gibbs, despite the American’s strong record in hard court tournaments on home soil.
\nPrediction: Pliskova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Steen:<\/em>
\nPliskova should dominate Gibbs in this one. Nicole was great to qualify but Pliskova is a major step up.
\nPrediction: Pliskova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n
