Second seed Iga Swiatek and 13th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova will face off in the fourth round of the US Open. This will mark the seventh meeting between the two but the first at a major, with the winner drawn to meet Amanda Anisimova or Beatriz Haddad Maia next. Read on for our prediction of the match.

Alexandrova suffered her latest defeat in this fixture this year at Bad Homburg. She lost in straight sets and will be looking to slow down Swiatek’s run in this matchup.

To warm up for the game, she defeated Laura Siegemund, recording a third straight win in three sets and with that securing a record 11th place in the live rankings. The Russian is eyeing a first-ever slot in the US Open quarters.

Swiatek will be out to stop Alexandrova’s rise, to boost her own charge for a second US Open title. The Pole comes into this round as one of the most in-form players at the moment, though her most defeats (2) at Flushing Meadows happened in this round.

She couldn’t defend her 2022 title two years ago, and last year she crashed out at the quarters. This time she’s confident, carrying a nine-game unbeaten run to this outing.

Swiatek dropped just one set in her last eight finished games and has only lost once in 19. Her win against Anna Kalinskaya in the last round was her 52nd of the season, and she’s third in the live rankings.
