World number 65 Elisabetta Cocciaretto will square off with 25th seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the US Open second round. Here’s a look at the stats defining this match and a prediction.

Elisabetta Cocciaretto defeated Kateryna Baindl in straight sets in the first round. She was in fine form as she claimed only her first main draw victory in this major. The Italian, who has struggled in recent times, had lost in the first round in her first two US Open appearances.

Cocciaretto, on a 25-20 record, has won just twice in her last seven outings. Advancing to this round has moved her nine places to 56th in the live ranking. Cocciaretto made it to the fourth round at Roland Garros earlier this year to record her best-ever result at a major.

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova has twice in her last three US Open appearances, fallen in the second round. A former quarter-finalist here, she will be eager to not suffer a similar fate in her 15th appearance at Flushing Meadows.

The Russian began her campaign with a dominant straight-set victory over the wildcard Taylah Preston. She allowed the Australian just two games in the tie and won in an hour. This continued her strong recent run where she has now claimed four wins in her last five outings.

Pavlyuchenkova, who has earned two semi-final finishes this year and won 26 matches, is placed 26th in the live ranking. The two players will be squaring off for the first time with the winner next playing Iga Swiatek or Ena Shibahara.
