Predicted Winners in BOLD
ARTHUR ASHE STADIUM (11 a.m.)
[1] Karolina Pliskova (CZE) vs Jennifer Brady (USA) – The world #1 has flown under the radar, but she is certainly a contender.
[20] CoCo Vandeweghe (USA) vs Lucie Safarova (CZE) – I think Safarova’s doubles skills and lefty striking can keep CoCo off-balance enough to spring an upset.
[4] Elina Svitolina (UKR) vs [15] Madison Keys (USA) (late night) – I’ve gone upset crazy.
LOUIS ARMSTRONG STADIUM
Daria Kasatkina (RUS) vs [Q] Kaia Kanepi (EST) – This match may lack star power, but fans with tickets would be wise to watch at least part of it.
