World number 40 Paula Badosa will take on wildcard Peyton Stearns in the first round of the 2024 Cincinnati Open. The winner of this first career meeting will play Katerina Siniakova or Anna Kalinskaya next. Here’s a look at the stats leading up to this match and our prediction.
Stearns is back in Cincinnati where she is seeking to claim her first-ever main draw win. The American had twice lost in the qualifying rounds here before she earned her main draw debut last year. She unfortunately lost in the first round.
Stearns has had a shaky season, winning only one more match than the 18 she has lost so far. Despite this inconsistency, the 22-year-old managed to claim her first tour title when she triumphed in Rabat on clay in May. Stearns has moved up to 46th in the live ranking.
Paula Badosa has seen her form improve in recent weeks, which should have her arrive here confident of a winning start. The Spaniard is a former Cincinnati quarter-finalist.
She has never lost an opening-round tie here but got eliminated in the second round the last time she participated here. The 26-year-old has had most of her tour success in the United States. She won her fourth tour title and the second in the US last month in Washington.
The win ended a two-year wait for a tour title. She didn’t have another title run in Toronto in her next outing as she was eliminated in the second round. Badosa, who is playing with a protected ranking, has compiled a 22-14 and is up to 37th in the live ranking.
