US Open Day 1 Women’s Predictions<\/h2>\n

Diane Parry vs Xiyu Wang<\/h4>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nAside from a run to the semifinal of the Nottingham Open in June, Parry\u2019s form has dipped since she got an injury in April. Wang plays her best tennis on hard courts, and she is facing Parry at a good time. The Chinese player to prevail in three sets.
\nPrediction: Wang in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Damian:<\/em>
\nThey played in the opening round in New York two years ago with Wang coming out on top in three sets. This seems like a pretty likely outcome–they\u2019re not far off each other quality-wise, but it\u2019s usually the Chinese who performs a bit better in medium-fast hard court conditions.
\nPrediction: Wang in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Jim:<\/em>
\nThis has the makings of a close match. Surprisingly, however, Diane Parry is yet to win a match at the US Open \u2013 will that change at the fourth time of asking? Given the French woman\u2019s quality, don\u2019t be surprised if she finally makes it to the second round in New York.
\nPrediction: Parry in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Iva Jovic vs Magda Linette<\/h4>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nJovic is a 16-year-old who was awarded a wild card after winning the USTA Girls\u2019 18s National Championships in San Diego. Does that mean she is ready to beat an experienced player like Linette? Probably not, but it will be a great experience for her nonetheless.
\nPrediction: Linette in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Damian:<\/em>
\nJovic is one of the best juniors in the world at the age of 16 and getting that wild card is a pretty massive milestone for her career. It\u2019s tough to say how she\u2019ll fare against someone of Linette\u2019s quality, but it doesn\u2019t seem like she\u2019ll be blown away. The likely winner is the Pole though.
\nPrediction: Linette in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Jim:<\/em>
\nThere has been little sign from Magda Linette that she is capable of repeating her run to the semifinals at the Australian Open last year at any of the Majors she has played since. But the Pole is an experienced operator and should have too much for Iva Jovic.
\nPrediction: Jovic in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
