For the first time in their careers, Sloane Stephens and Sinja Kraus will be facing off. They will clash in the first round in Cincinnati, with the winner set to meet Anastasia Potapova next. Qualifier Kraus is coming off the back of eight wins in 10 matches, and our prediction tips her to carry on with the momentum.
Former world No. 3 Stephens is playing in Cincinnati as a wildcard and will be looking to improve on her recent poor runs. The American is coming off a second-round elimination in Toronto.
This is her 13th appearance in this event, and she hasn’t been able to go past the semis. Currently on a 13-15 record, this looks like another event she will struggle with.
The 33-year-old hasn’t progressed past the second round and comes here placed 236th in the live ranking.
Kraus has spent her season alternating between the tour and ITF events, which gives her an edge here. She has compiled a 38-20 record, but on tour, she hasn’t gone beyond the second round in any event.
The Austrian is on her debut appearance here, and having started from the qualifiers, she comes with not just better form but momentum as well.
Kraus saw off the challenge of Marina Bassols and Claire Liu in the qualifiers and brings here a run of eight wins in her last nine outings. The 24-year-old sits 87th in the live rank ahead of this match.
