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>, Iga Swiatek vs Emiliana Arango<\/a>, Coco Gauff vs Ajla Tomljanovic<\/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

Beatriz Haddad Maia vs Sonay Kartal<\/h4>\n

Tope:<\/em>
\nSonay Kartal comfortably defeated Beatriz Haddad Maia at Indian Wells earlier this year, in straight sets. Although neither player is currently in great form, Kartal has a better record in hardcourt events this year. Regardless, I still believe the Brazilian is the better hard court player, has more experience and pedigree to get past the young Brit.
\nPrediction: Haddad Maia in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nThis could be among the lengthiest matches of 2025. In previous years, I would have backed Haddad Maia to grind through a long battle. But she is enduring a rough season and has particularly struggled against opponents without overwhelming power.
\nPrediction: Kartal in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Ilemona:<\/em>
\nHaddad Maia brings proven experience and a big lefty game that can do damage on hard courts, even if injuries have disrupted her rhythm this season. Kartal has impressed in qualifying and carries momentum into her main-draw debut. The Brazilian\u2019s edge in power and past Slam pedigree, though, makes her a difficult opponent to draw early.
\nPrediction: Haddad Maia in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Lois Boisson vs Viktorija Golubic<\/h4>\n

Tope:<\/em>
\nWhile both players prefer the dirt, Golubic boasts an impressive hard court record and has been playing in New York for almost a decade even though she hasn\u2019t made it past the first round. Its time to break the jinx.
\nPrediction: Golubic in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nI feel Golubic can surprise the French Open semifinalist. Boisson prefers slow courts, and might find the lively US Open courts challenging to handle against Golubic. The Swiss player also possesses variety and could disrupt Boisson\u2019s rhythm.
\nPrediction: Golubic in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Ilemona:<\/em>
\nBoisson is still making her first steps at this level outside clay and will be looking to settle quickly on the faster surface. Golubic, with her variety and court craft, tends to thrive when she can disrupt younger opponents\u2019 rhythm. This first-time matchup could hinge on whether Boisson handles that change of pace effectively.
\nPrediction: Golubic in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
