Veronika Kudermetova v Donna Vekic Head to Head
On the WTA tour, these players have faced off twice and the head to head stands at 1-1.
Both these matches came on indoor hard court surfaces, at St. Petersburg Open in 2019 and Ostrava in 2020. There was a previous match-up on the ITF circuit in 2017 which Vekic had won.

Kudermetova Continues to Improve
Ranked 18th in the world at the moment, Kudermetova is at her career-best ranking and has shown a steady progress in the manner in which she has gone about her business.
The Russian comes into the US Open knowing she can do a lot better than what she has in this competition in the past – in five previous attempts, Kudermetova hasn’t won a single main draw encounter.
This time around, however, Kudermetova enters the US Open with a 17-9 win-loss record in hard court competitions, which includes appearances in two WTA tournament finals already on those surfaces – at Melbourne and in Doha.
Kudermetova didn’t have the best preparation heading into this final Grand Slam, having lost in the first round at the Canadian Open and the third round in Cincinnati. As far as her confidence goes, however, the Russian should enter this tournament with oodles of it.

Vekic Returns to Venue of Favourite Grand Slam
At her best, Vekic was once ranked 19th in the world and it was around that time she has dished out her best ever showing at a Grand Slam – made it to the quarterfinals of the US Open in 2019.
Those days are far gone though and Vekic has slid down the rankings as a result of a mix of fitness issues and injuries.
That can also be seen this season which has had Vekic win just one main draw match in a hard court tournament – it came in Washington. That’s from the four tournaments she’s participated in, this season.
There were the odd sparks of her former self on grass though, which might give her some hope but coming up against a player in form, it looks highly unlikely Vekic would be able to trouble Kudermetova too much.
Kudermetova v Vekic Prediction and Tip
Not very surprisingly, Kudermetova starts off a 3/10 favourite to win this and we are able to back her to do so in straight sets.
Tip: Kudermetova to win in straight sets: 8/11 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
