Glenys:<\/em> Johnny:<\/em> Fraser:<\/em>
\nSabalenka is coming in on the back of a semi final spot in Cincinnati. The Belarussian is the sixth seed at Flushing Meadows, so will definitely have pressure to take the win. Harrison, on the other hand will be a dangerous opponent. Having come through qualifying to the main draw. Qualifiers usually have the advantage of the court conditions.
\nPrediction: Harrison in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
\nCatherine Harrison is already having one of the best weeks of her career by qualifying for the main draw. Facing Sabalenka will be a daunting prospect for someone of her level, expect Sabalenka to dominate this matchup, even if she hits too many double faults.
\nPrediction: Sabalenka in 2<\/em><\/p>\n
\nThis one is pretty simple. If Sabalenka serves well<\/a>, she wins a lot of matches and we see her deep in the second week, if she doesn\u2019t then she may not even make it out of this round. I expect she will find her feet in time and make a good go of it in New York.
\nPrediction: Sabalenka in 2<\/em><\/p>\n
