Lamens got through a tight opener, but she hasn\u2019t had much success at this level on the surface. It\u2019s a tall task, though stranger things have happened in New York.<br \/>\nPrediction: Swiatek in 2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong> Lamens usually does a good job of playing without fear against much higher-ranked opponents. That gives her a chance of being somewhat competitive against Swiatek, but she has no realistic chance of winning. The Pole\u2019s level since Wimbledon has been the best in women\u2019s tennis.<br \/>\nPrediction: Swiatek in 2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tope:<\/strong> World No. #1 Iga Swiatek continues her quest for a second US Open title against Dutch qualifier Suzan Lamens in what looks like a straightforward matchup on paper. Swiatek\u2019s power, precision, and relentless baseline game should give her complete control.<br \/>\nPrediction: Swiatek in 2<\/p>\n<h3>Jaqueline Cristian vs Ashlyn Krueger<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ilemona:<\/strong> Jaqueline Cristian caused one of the biggest upsets in the first round when she won against Danielle Collins, dropping just two games. Krueger, meanwhile, needed to work harder in her opener, but her big game can be dangerous when it clicks. This one could come down to who handles the big points better.<br \/>\nPrediction: Krueger in 3<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong> Although Danielle Collins struggled badly, Cristian still deserves considerable credit for how she played in the previous round. Krueger will try to hit the Romanian off the court with her powerful game. It could go either way, but I narrowly favor Cristian because of her ability to get Krueger moving by using her heavy topspin forehand.<br \/>\nPrediction: Cristian in 3<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tope:<\/strong> Ashlyn Krueger thrives on hard courts, and home support is another advantage against Cristian\u2019s counterpunching ability to disrupt rhythm. Expect a tight battle in their first meeting, with Cristian\u2019s firepower and grit taking out another American.<br \/>\nPrediction: Cristian in 2<\/p>\n<h3>Linda Noskova vs Eva Lys<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ilemona:<\/strong> Noskova impressed with her aggressive play in round one and has shown steady growth on hard courts. Lys has fewer results to lean on at this level, but she did well to battle through her opener. Momentum and confidence may tilt things one way here.<br \/>\nPrediction: Noskova in 2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong> This promises to be a challenging match for Noskova against the quickly improving Lys. However, the German\u2019s game often gets overwhelmed against big-hitting opponents. Despite her development in the last 12 months, I doubt Lys is ready to win this match.<br \/>\nPrediction: Noskova in 2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tope:<\/strong> Linda Noskova enters the US Open clash against Eva Lys as the more established name. Still, she has to contend with the German&#8217;s fluidity and movement, as she showed in the bagel of Francesca Jones in the previous round. The Czech star is beginning to show some growing confidence on hard courts, and she should edge this contest, even though she will need to stay sharp.<br \/>\nPrediction: Noskova in 3<\/p>\n<h3>Renata Zarazua vs Diane Parry<\/h3>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2232053044\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.66667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/2232053044?et=rEq8xLwOQcBxBldRL3UVDA&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=CIGcIkLDCjNZYnauW2sxTdHABbJC0_4Z9VzQZPcHW0I=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Ilemona:<\/strong> Zarazua pulled off a gritty win in the first round, showcasing her variety, while Parry looked steady and disciplined in her own match. Both players don\u2019t have deep hard-court pedigrees, but each has enough to make this a close affair. Expect plenty of long rallies before it\u2019s decided.<br \/>\nPrediction: Parry in 2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong> Zarazua\u2019s win against Madison Keys was stunning, but she must navigate an entirely different challenge here. Parry\u2019s heavy topspin forehand and backhand slice contrast sharply with Keys\u2019s flat strikes. I feel the Frenchwoman can catch Zarazua cold with her variety.<br \/>\nPrediction: Parry in 2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tope:<\/strong> Both players arrive with momentum. Mexican, Zarazua, unlocked Maddison Keys in the opener and Parry\u2019s bageled Petra Kvitova in her final professional match. Diane Parry appears to be the more polished player, but Zarazua\u2019s never-say-die spirit could see her edge this. Besides, she\u2019s not lost to the French woman in their two previous meetings.<br \/>\nPrediction: Zarazua in 3<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: Andy Abeyta\/The Desert Sun \/ USA TODAY NETWORK<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 5 US Open action in New York features Iga Swiatek looking to keep up her winning streak, while the upset minded Renata Zarazua looks for a third round berth.
