WTA US Open Hard Court First Round

🧠 Form & Context

Jelena Ostapenko (No. 27, age 28)

• 🎢 Streaky season: 17–16 overall, with 8 first-round exits in 2025.
• 📉 Recent struggles: Only 2 wins across her last 4 tournaments; fell in R1 at Wimbledon.
• 🏟️ US Open: QF in 2023, but early exits in 2022 & 2024.
• ⚡ Explosive: Ball-striking can overwhelm if rhythm clicks.
• ⚠️ Risk: High unforced error counts when pressured.

Wang Xiyu (No. 138, age 24)

• 🚑 Injury setback: Missed 3 months in 2025, dropped outside top 170.
• 📈 Bounce back: SF at Evansville (W100) + 🏆 Lexington W75 title.
• ✅ Qualified for USO: Three straight wins in qualifying, all gritty performances.
• 🏟️ US Open: 2R appearances in 2021 & 2023.
• 🎾 Style: Lefty power game, strong FH, thrives on hard when confident.
• ⚠️ Concern: Retired in Landisville earlier this month (fitness question mark).

Head-to-Head: Ostapenko leads 2–0 (Miami 2021, Dubai 2024 — both 3 setters).
