Qualifier Taylor Townsend and sixth seed Sofia Kenin are set to face off in the second round at WTA Washington. The two meet for the seventh time, and the winner will meet Jessica Pegula or Leylah Fernandez next. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Townsend is on her fifth appearance at this event, yet she has never progressed past the second round. This time she will be looking to break new ground after her first-round win against Tatjana Maria in straight sets.
It wasn’t just her low rank compared to Maria, but her miraculous comeback from 0-5 to win the second set. The American has now compiled a 13-11 record and is 85th in the live rankings.
Kenin has a 4-2 record against Townsend and will be eyeing a second win over her in a matter of weeks. The two clashed in the first round at Wimbledon, Kenin winning in straights. It was the sixth straight meeting between the two to end in straight sets.
Kenin, a former Grand Slam winner, surely comes here as the favorite but can’t ignore the fact that Townsend is burning for revenge. The world No. 26 beat Hailey Baptiste in straight sets in the first round.
One more win will see her grace the Washington quarters for the first time after three failed attempts. With a 25-16 record, Kenin is 25th in the live rankings.
