The first round of women’s singles at the US Open wraps up on Tuesday, Day 3 of the event. There are 20 matches remaining to be contested, and our writers here at LastWordOnTennis share their thoughts on them. We split the 20 matches between five articles. The other four feature Naomi Osaka vs Greet Minnen<\/a>, Coco Gauff vs Ajla Tomljanovic<\/a>, Amanda Anisimova vs Clara Burel<\/a>, and Danielle Collins vs Jaqueline Cristian<\/a>. Predicting these matches are Tope Oke, Jordan Reynolds, and Ilemona Onekutu. Who do you think will advance?<\/p>\n

US Open Day 3 Women’s Predictions<\/h2>\n

Sofia Kenin vs Ashlyn Krueger<\/h4>\n

Tope:<\/em>
\nSofia Kenin has the advantage of having advanced deep into Grand Slam tournaments, and although she hasn’t achieved the consistent success she aimed for post-2020, she still poses a significant challenge to any rival. Ashlyn Krueger is as tough an opponent as they come and this promises to be a good watch for the fans. All in all, I expect the younger American to prevail the longer the match goes.
\nPrediction: Krueger in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nWhen Kenin is playing well, she possesses an ideal style for defusing power. That makes her a slight favorite against Krueger, but Kenin\u2019s inconsistency makes it impossible to predict her matches with confidence.
\nPrediction: Kenin in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Ilemona:<\/em>
\nSofia Kenin has been piecing her game back together this year, showing glimpses of the control and shot selection that once carried her to a major title but the results have been mixed. Krueger, though, has been on a similar trajectory, with her power game failing to click as it did last year. They split wins in their two previous meetings, and another close battle could be on the cards.
\nPrediction: Kenin in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Suzan Lamens vs Valerie Glozman<\/h4>\n

Tope:<\/em>
\nSuzan Lamens should take a respite from her opening round losses in Montreal, Cincinnati and Cleveland to win on her debut in New York. She surely cannot lose to the 902nd-ranked teenage wild card<\/a>.
\nPrediction: Lamens in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nLamens is a player who could achieve more consistent success with how talented she is. Although frustrating to watch at times, she should avoid an upset in this matchup and safely reach the second round.
\nPrediction: Lamens in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Ilemona:<\/em>
\nSuzan Lamens has plenty of Tour-level experience but hasn\u2019t made much of an impact on hard courts this season. Glozman, still early in her career, has been building confidence with solid results in lower-tier events. It\u2019s a first-time meeting that feels like a test of whether proven experience or youthful energy holds up better in the spotlight.
\nPrediction: Lamens in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
