Cristina Bucsa and Sara Errani are set to face off in the first round at the US Open. Read on for our preview and prediction of this match, from which the winner plays Danielle Collins or Caroline Dolehide next.
World number 72 Cristina Bucsa is at the US Open for a fourth successive year and will hope to avoid an early exit. The Spaniard has never won more than one match in this event, losing in the first round twice.
Bucsa is coming off a second-round exit in Cleveland where she lost in three sets to eventual finalist Beatriz Haddad Maia. She has had a shaky year so far and so far lost six more matches than the 18 she has won. A quarter-finalist in Bogota and Abu Dhabi, Bucsa starts the week 77th in the live ranking.
Sara Errani is a former US Open semi-finalist but has never progressed to the second week of competing here in 10 years. She also hasn’t won a main draw match here since 2015. In her current form, this long wait could extend.
The former French Open finalist arrives at Flushing Meadows having lost her last five fixtures. She was defeated in the first round of qualifying in Cincinnati in her last outing. This unwanted run has seen her record drop to 24-18 and out of the WTA top 90.
A former world number five, she starts the week 96th in the live ranking. The Italian will want to look at her win against Bucsa in 2022 for inspiration. In the aftermath of that victory, she went on to win the Contrexeville Challenger.
