Our Kristina Liutova vs Caty McNally Prediction
The Difference Maker: Kristina Liutova has a puncher’s chance to win this match. The 16-year-old Russian has only lost three times in 25 hard-court matches this year, and that’s because of her skills and poise.
McNally remains the favorite, especially after dismantling Yexin Ma in the second round. The American has already racked up 15 breakpoint conversions in this tournament, proving that she’s one of the best returners on the WTA Tour.
What to Expect: A three-set slugfest is possible. Liutova has a solid chance to win this one, but it’s still too early for her to take down a seasoned veteran like McNally, who is coming off a convincing win.
Fearless Forecast: Caty McNally edges Kristina Liutova 5-7, 6-4, 7-6
