On the other side of the net despite being ranked inside the world\u2019s Top 150, Jaimee Fourlis has not won a match at this level for over three years which is astonishing. Keeping all that in mind however, the 22 year old is still far more experienced and is coming off a final just a few weeks ago in an ITF event. This on paper should be too much of a jump for the teenage Canadian but she could put up a better fight than expected.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Fourlis in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"-646w4d4TJpeX3nZJ8LMMw\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1299688728\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'-646w4d4TJpeX3nZJ8LMMw',sig:'AgdV_h8TAiXJN8kAwhMwHwQSJgquFqXyySfIvPDUm7s=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1299688728',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Kaja Juvan vs Cadence Brace<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head: 0-0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not every day you start an event off against a player ranked outside the top 700 but that\u2019s what Juvan faces. Just like Stakusic, Brace is another Canadian who\u2019s made the most of a very weak qualifying draw beating a player ranked 362 in the world and another 820. Juvan can be frustrating and has lost five of her last seven matches but this is far too much of an ask for Brace. If anything, this is a very good week for the Slovenian to turn her form around heading into New York.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Juvan in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"RqiwZ3kGS6tDW5nen-2BYg\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1362885881\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'RqiwZ3kGS6tDW5nen-2BYg',sig:'pt2RyU95Q6cshocL2EAn9yrpwq1B4X2qgIpVUlkg09o=',w:'499px',h:'594px',items:'1362885881',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Rebecca Marino vs Victoria Mboko<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head: 0-0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another low ranked Canadian and this time she\u2019s just 15 and a wild card instead of a qualifier! Coming off a semifinal in the girls\u2019 singles at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/wimbledon\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Wimbledon<\/a> and an W25 ITF win a month ago, who knows what the future holds for Mboko. For now, however, Marino being over twice her age and ranked just outside the top 100 and seen and done it all before. Too much experience and variety from the older Canadian will prove far too much of a learning experience this early on in Mboko\u2019s career.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Marino in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"Hu8LymQzQspxGs113bcFTw\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1242406540\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'Hu8LymQzQspxGs113bcFTw',sig:'Li4KswDyOnEwlmhm26kTCjPz0f5qk1ySzZWZZN2W4b0=',w:'594px',h:'365px',items:'1242406540',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Oceane Dodin vs Tereza Martincova<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head: Martincova 1-0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Believe it or not, this is a match with not only both players being ranked inside the world\u2019s Top 500 but the Top 100!
