The third round concludes on Day 6 of the US Open, and we will be treated to eight women’s matches as we find out who reaches the Round of 16. Will Iga Swiatek continue her dominant form? Will we see even more upsets<\/a>? As always, our writers share their thoughts on the matches. We split Saturday’s eight matches between two articles–with the other article featuring Jessica Pegula vs Jessica Bouzas Maneiro<\/a>. Predicting these matches are Jordan Reynolds, Ilemona Onekutu, and Jim Smith. Who do you think will advance?<\/p>\n

US Open Day 6 Women’s Predictions<\/h2>\n

Sara Errani vs Diana Shnaider<\/h4>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\n37-year-old Errani getting to the third round is one of the most surprising developments on the women\u2019s side so far. She has absolutely nothing to lose against Shnaider. However, the Italian\u2019s gritty style will not work in this matchup. It\u2019ll repeatedly give Shnaider the chance to repeatedly unload with her powerful groundstrokes to claim victory.
\nPrediction: Shnaider in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Ilemona:<\/em>
\nSara Errani has been a formidable upset machine in her last two matches. I called against her in the previous round, and I am backing her opponent once again. Shnaider\u2019s tennis is a cut above anyone Errani has faced so far.
\nPrediction: Shnaider in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Jim:<\/em>
\nSara Errani won\u2019t make this easy for the young Russian. The Italian has an unusual style of play that can disorient players and a huge amount of experience. But at this stage in their respective careers, Diana Shnaider is simply operating at a different level to Errani.
\nPrediction: Shnaider in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Beatriz Haddad Maia vs Anna Kalinskaya<\/h4>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nHaddad Maia is back on track after her run to the final in Cleveland and two good wins at Flushing Meadows. The Brazilian must mix up her paces and spins against Kalinskaya to give herself the best chance of winning. The Dubai Tennis Championships runner-up possesses more firepower than her. Haddad Maia always fights hard, but I think Kalinskaya\u2019a powerful hitting may be too much to handle.
\nPrediction: Kalinskaya in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Ilemona:<\/em>
\nHaddad is dangerous when on song and her play so far points to a player has a perfect feel for the court. What stands as a worry for her is the volume of tennis she\u2019s had to play over the last two weeks with a run to the Cleveland final. Kalinskaya has been solid herself but Haddad Maia should have enough to go through.
\nPrediction: Haddad Maia in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Jim:<\/em>
\nBeatriz Haddad Maia has maintained her solid form coming into the US Open now that she is New York. She does not look likely to be one of the title threats, but she should secure her spot in the second round.
\nPrediction: Haddad Maia in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
