Command Analysis

Sloane Stephens

USA

A winner of 2017 US Open Sloane Stephens put up an ambigious performance in most recent tournaments at New York. In 2018 she reached the quarter-final, but in next two tournaments she was eliminated in the first round and in the third round respectively.

In the current season Stephens got a difficult draw. In the first round she played against her compatriot, Madison Keyes. Stephens beat that player in the final of 2017 US Open. This time Stephens snatched a victory in an extremely contested match (6:3, 1:6, 7:6).

Cori Gauff

USA

17-year old Cori Gauff rose to the 23rd position in WTA rankings. Young American played 49 matches since the start of the season and won 35 of them. Before the start of New York tournament Gauff reached the quarter-final at Montreal and the second round at Cincinnati.

Cori Gauff got off to a difficult start at US Open. She needed to play three sets to beat Magda Linette (5:7, 6:3, 6:4). Gauff was not looking confident in that match: she gave away four games at her serve, made 42 unforced errors.

Tip and bets

3.05Stephens to win

Cori Gauff is a clear favourite in the American derby. She is performing better throughout the season, so she is ranked higher than her opponent. But Gauff still lacks consistency. Match against Linette was very difficult for her, she made a number of unforced errors. An experienced Stephens may take advantage of that. We are offering a risky bet on the underdog.
