Prediction published on 25/08/2023, 01:04  by Daniel Ngulu in Tennis Predictions

Tenth seed Laura Siegemund and 18th seed Oceane Dodin will on Friday square off in US Open qualifying third round. Siegemund has won her two rounds without dropping a set. In the previous round, she advanced at the expense of the unseeded Simona Waltert. The German has struggled with her form this season and has compiled a 23-15 record. But with 16 of her wins coming on hard court, she will be confident of a seventh consecutive main draw appearance. Siegemund’s highlight of the season came in Poland in July as she ended a six-year wait for a tour-level finals appearance. The 35-year-old is currently down 13 places to 121st in the live ranking.

Oceane Dodin has shown resilience in advancing to this round. The Frenchwoman has been forced to come from a set down in both her matches here. In the last round, she defeated unseeded Marina Melnikova by the loss of 11 games. Despite playing regularly in the ITF circuit, Dodin will hope her form on hard court continues here. She has won 12 of the 15 matches she has played on the surface culminating in one of her three ITF titles. Dodin made the main draw last season for the fourth time in six appearances at this major. The season before that she had lost in this very same round. She is up one place to 117th in the live ranking. The winner of this qualifier will advance to the main draw.
