Day 5 at the US Open will see eight women’s third-round matches, including Serena Williams’ next attempt to keep her career going. As always, we here at LWOT share our thoughts on all the matches–split between this and a separate article<\/a>. Predicting today’s matches are Shane Black, Damian Kust, and Jim Smith.<\/p>\n

US Open Day 5 Women’s Predictions<\/h4>\n

Bianca Andreescu vs Caroline Garcia<\/h4>\n

Shane:<\/em>
\nBianca Andreescu and Caroline Garcia<\/a> looked dominant in their straight-set round two victories. Garcia bested Andreescu 6-7 6-4 6-4 earlier this year in Hamburg and these two should once again produce a very high quality match. I think the Frenchwoman, who came out of the qualies to win Cincinnati<\/a>, notches her 11th win in a row and advances to round four in Queens.
\nPrediction: Garcia in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Damian:<\/em>
\nWhat a matchup. Caroline Garcia has been on fire recently and you just know she\u2019ll be blasting these returns and taking time away from Bianca Andreescu like no other. The Frenchwoman has just one game plan but when it\u2019s working, she\u2019s nearly impossible to stop.
\nPrediction: Garcia in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Jim:<\/em>
\nAndreescu has really impressed so far at the US Open. But facing Garcia is a massive step up in the quality of opposition with the Frenchwoman in such good form. Expect the Cincinnati champion to prove too strong.
\nPrediction: Garcia in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
