My Picks for the 2019 US Open Women's Single Title: Bianca Andreescu


Canadian Bianca Andreescu has been making waves in the WTA tour this summer and this has now extended to this year's US Open.

With Simona Halep and Petra Kvitova both out of the US Open this early, it makes her the next highest ranked player in her side of the draw and the one with the best H2H against all the other players.

Also, it makes her the player with the best H2H on the upper half of the draw, having a 1-0 H2H with Kiki Bertens, making her a good pick for the finals.

Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff is still on her side of the draw though but on paper, both have other opponents which have beaten them before, that is why Bianca is such in an enviable position, at least on paper.

In reality, she has only reached as far as the 2R in a grand slam, and this is the first time she has reached the 3R. She will meet former champion Caroline Wozniacki whom she has a winning record over, so it would be interesting to know if she can translate all this potential into reality.

If she doesn't, the upper side of the draw is so wide open, I wouldn't be surprised if Coco Gauff goes all the way to the finals!
