Cleveland Triumph Will Inspire Kontaveit
The World No. 28 will be high on confidence as she heads to the U.S. Open as the Cleveland champion.
Seeded second in the tournament, Kontaveit defeated Irina-Camelia Begu in the final to win her second career title, adding to the ‘s-Hertogenbosch triumph of 2017.
In what is turning out to be a spectacular season, this was the third time the Estonian reached a final, having also been that far at the Grampians Trophy and in Eastbourne.
A quarterfinalist at the Australian Open last year, Kontaveit will be featuring in the U.S. Open for a seventh time and she has reached the fourth round twice, including last year.
With form on her side, the 25-year-old powerful ball-striker will be looking to make another deep run this time around.

Stosur Is 1-9 this Season
In 2011, she became the champion by beating Serena Williams in the final. Ten years on, she doesn’t pose the same threat, particularly after having a torrid time the season.
Stosur comes into the tournament with a 1-9 season record with her only win coming over Aussie wildcard Destanee Aiava in the first round of the Australian Open.
Mostly beaten in straight sets this season, Stosur gave Shelby Rogers a tough fight in the first round at Wimbledon before going down in three. Her most recent defeats came against Elena Rybakina, who beat her in straight sets in the opening rounds in Tokyo and Cincinnati.
Currently ranked 186th in the world, the former world No. 4 hasn’t won a first round match at the U.S. Open since 2016. Will she be able to win again at Flushing Meadows?
Kontaveit v Stosur Prediction and Tip
Unbeaten in last five matches, Kontaveit loks unstoppable at the moment. Expect the Estonian to storm into the next round.
Tip: Kontaveit to win in straight sets: 1/2 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
