On Monday, August 26, at the US Open (US Open Championship), the participants in the main draw of the tournament entered the fight. In women’s singles, five Russians will play their first round matches (1/64 finals). Among them is Anna Blinkova, who will face American Emma Navarro. Bookmakers consider the American tennis player to be the clear favorite of the match. You can bet on Navarro’s victory with odds of 1.14, while Blinkova’s success is estimated at 5.95.
Emma is 23 years old, Anna is two years older. Moreover, their direct confrontation began not so long ago – last season and so far consists of only one match. At the tournament in Strasbourg, Blinkova sensationally celebrated her victory in the quarterfinals – 6:4, 6:4.
If we talk about the current form of tennis players, Navarro looked very good at two North American tournaments – in Toronto and Monterrey, where in both cases she reached the semifinals, but lost there. In Toronto, Emma lost in three sets to her compatriot Anisimova (3:6, 6:2, 2:6), and in Monterrey, Mexico – to Czech tennis player Linda Noskova (6:7, 5:7).
At the US Open, Navarro starts as the 12th racket in the world. Emma has one singles title to her name, which she won this season in Hobart. Currently, the American has climbed to 11th place in the WTA rankings, which is her personal best.
As for Blinkova, she hasn’t achieved anything significant lately. In the last five tournaments in a row, Anna was eliminated from the group after the first round. The only exception was the tournament in Bad Homburg, where the Russian reached the quarterfinals. Blinkova’s season so far has been a failure, which is reflected in her rating. Anna starts at the US Open as the 81st racket in the world.
