Martic Struggling to Win Matches
Martic is 3-7 in her last 10 matches, a slump that began with a first round exit at Roland Garros. Currently she has lost three matches on the trot and hasn’t yet got going on the hard courts of North America.
The World No. 32 reached the second round in San Jose, but was stopped from progressing further by Magda Linette; at the Canadian Open, it was Daria Kasatkina who knocked out the Croatian in straight sets in the opener. Martic did put up some resistance in Cincinnati, but was unlucky to lose an edge-of-set first-round thriller to Paula Badosa.
She would be taking the positives from that match against Badosa to lift herself in New York. The lead-up hasn’t been encouraging but Martic will be hoping to get her season back on track with a win over the qualifier.
Making her ninth main draw appearance at the U.S. Open, the 30th seed was at her best over the last two years, reaching the Round of 16 on both the occasions.

Galfi Comes Through Qualifiers
The 23-year-old Hungarian will be making her Grand Slam debut after she qualified for the main draw with a convincing straight sets win over Romania’s Monica Niculescu in the third qualifying round on Friday.
Galfi, who faced stubborn resistance from her first two qualifying opponents, dominated the former top 30 player for a 66-1, 6-3 victory.
The Hungarian had to fightback from a set down to beat America’s Louisa Chirico 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 in the first qualifying round, and had to tough it out against Greece’s Despina Papamichail for a 7-6 (8-6), 6-1 victory in the second qualifying round on Thursday.
The World No. 152, who made a stunning run to the semifinals in Budapest in July, is an eight-time champion and five-time runner-up on the ITF circuit, with seven of those titles coming on hard courts.
Martic v Galfi Prediction and Tip
Buoyed by her qualifying campaign, Galfi will look to make the most of her major debut. Martic’s current form may even give the Hungarian a chance to test the Croatian, but eventually the 30th seed should use her experience to see off the qualifier.
Tip: Martic to win: 8/15 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
