Prediction
Iga Swiatek and Sloane Stephens will have a first-time clash tomorrow at the Cincinnati Open 2022.
Swiatek won as many as six trophies throughout the first half of the season, including her second Grand Slam victory at Roland Garros. The Pole’s accomplishments enabled her to establish a record 37-match winning streak, which was broken by Alize Cornet in the Wimbledon third round.
But the 21-year-old has had trouble ever since. She ended her post-Wimbledon run in the Warsaw quarterfinals and the third round of the Canadian Open.
Stephens, who is ranked 57th in the world, has had a very erratic season. In February, she triumphed at the WTA 250 tournament in Guadalajara, Mexico, for her seventh career victory. Since then, the 29-year-only old’s other noteworthy accomplishment was making the final eight at the French Open. The American entered Cincinnati after losing in the first round of the Washington and Toronto tournaments.
Given her standing and accomplishments this season, Swiatek will enter this match as the clear favourite. She will win this match thanks to her excellent groundstrokes, thorough court covering, and anticipating skills.
Swiatek lost to eventual Canadian Open runner-up Beatriz Haddad Maia last week in a close match, but her serve failed her. She made up to nine double faults, something she can’t afford to do again while facing Stephens’ calibre of a returner.
The home hope has a reputation for being swift and having a great capacity to turn defence into offence. Stephens might believe she can stretch the Pole if Swiatek’s serving problems return. However, Stephens hasn’t exactly performed well under pressure for a while now, which may tip the scales in Swiatek’s favour if things become tight.
