On the night of Sunday, September 1, at the US Open (US Open Championship) in the third round match (1/16 finals), Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova will fight with the world’s number one racket, Polish Iga Szwiatek. On the WTA circuit, tennis players have faced each other only once, and this meeting is probably very painful to remember for Nastya. As for the odds for this match, according to bookmakers, Szwiatek is the absolute favorite in this confrontation. You can bet on the victory of the Pole with odds of 1.07, while Pavlyuchenkova’s success is estimated at 8.70 points.
Such a clear forecast is due, to a greater extent, to the fact that Iga has long held the first place in the WTA rankings. This season, 23-year-old Swiatek has already won five titles, three of which are on clay. The last success of the Pole took place at Roland Garros, but in the following tournaments (Wimbledon, Olympics and Cincinnati), Iga never reached the final. However, the class of the first racket has not disappeared and she is considered the favorite at the US Open.
Pavlyuchenkova is just getting back into her old form after a long break due to injuries. In Cincinnati, the 33-year-old Russian put on a great performance, withdrawing from the race in the quarterfinals. And at the current US Open, Anastasia gave two different matches. For example, Preston beat the Australian without any problems (6:2, 6:0), but the match with the Italian Cocciaretto turned out to be a controversial match. Pavlyuchenkova made a lot of mistakes, did not get the first serve, lost the first set, but then put pressure on her opponent – 5:7, 6:1, 6:2.
The only face-to-face meeting between Iga and Nastya, within the framework of the WTA tour, took place last season at the thousandth event in Rome. Then, in the second round, Szwiatek beat the Russian without any chance – 6:0, 6:0. Pavlyuchenkova surely remembers these shuttlecocks well and today she will try to show a completely different level in the match against the first racket of the world. I would like to hope that Anastasia has a plan for revenge.
