The second meeting at the US Open between Diane Parry and Wang Xiyu is a highlight of the opening round. In a match pitting two unseeded players, predictions favor Wang for a third win against Parry.

The two players meet for the second time at this tournament. Parry, on her fourth appearance, is still searching for a first main draw win at Flushing Meadows. The Frenchwoman has suffered a dip in form recently and arrives here on one win in her last four fixtures.

Currently, on a two-game skid, Parry was defeated in the first round in Cleveland by eventual semi-finalist Anastasia Potapova. She has compiled a 25-20 record and managed two semi-final finishes thus far – in Palermo and Nottingham. The 21-year-old has moved up to 60th in the live ranking.

The first matchup between these players was two years ago in this very round of the US Open. Wang won in three sets to claim her first main draw win at Flushing Meadows. She went on to make it to the third round, her best-ever finish to date.

In their most recent showdown, another three-set thriller this year in Auckland, Wang won. With this streak, Wang, who is currently 53rd in the live ranking, will be confident of a winning start.

The Chinese number four has, however, struggled in 2024, compiling a 22-22 record and has also won once in her last four matches. Wang, who was last on the court in Monterrey, produced a runner-up finish in Austin and was a semi-finalist in Auckland.

The winner here will play Wang Yafan or Maria Sakkari next.
