Stephens Seeks Deep US Open Run
The 2022 US Open will mark five years since Sloane Stephens won her first Major title, just months after recovering from foot surgery. The American will hope to draw on that magical fortnight when she faces the Belgian in the opening round.
The former world number three has had a roller coaster of a year, with a tournament victory in Guadalajara and quarter-final showing in Roland Garros besides some underwhelming results elsewhere.
Stephens comes into the US Open with a 2-3 record since Washington, with defeats against Alja Tomljanovic, Maria Sakkari and Iga Swiatek, who coincidently could face the 2017 champion in the second round here.
Despite most of Stephens’ season flattering to deceive, she is a player who brings her best on the biggest stage, and is an unseeded player to keep your eyes on throughout the opening week.

Minnen Set to Fall Down Rankings
Greet Minnen recorded her best ever singles result at a Major last year in New York, where she made the third round, However, a disappointing 2022 means that her ranking is set to fall to around 130 in the world with defeat to Stephens, which would be her lowest since 2019.
Minnen’s season started off well with an ITF tournament win in Altenkirchen back in February, and the Belgian followed it up a week later by reaching the final in Nur-Sultan.
Fortunes have changed since for Minnen, who has recorded just four victories since March, and is on a four-match losing streak which dates back to Wimbledon in late June.
Minnen took advantage of her lucky loser status in New York last year. After losing in the third round of qualifying, she was called into the main draw at the very last minute. This year’s tournament is the first time where the Belgian has made it into the Grand Slam by ranking, but she is facing a tough test in the shape of Sloane Stephens.
Stephens v Minnen Prediction and Tip
Sloane Stephens has been one of the toughest tennis players to predict over her career, but given the favourable opening round draw here, the American should be expected to come through, and potentially set up a second round meeting with Iga Swiatek.
