Lamens vs Glozman — US Open 1R Preview

WTA US Open Hard Court Round 1

🧠 Form & Context

Suzan Lamens (No. 66, age 26)

• 🇳🇱 Dutch late-bloomer who cracked the top 70 after winning Osaka 2024.
• 📊 2025: 26–21 (10–10 on hard). Summer highlight = Montreal R3 (beat Haddad Maia, lost to Zhu).
• 🏟️ US Open debut after two failed qualifications. Slam best = AO R2 (2025).
• ⚠️ Inconsistency: alternates strong wins with heavy losses. Arrives on 3-match losing streak (Kudermetova, Wang, Zhu).

Valerie Glozman (No. 902, age 18)

• 🇺🇸 Stanford sophomore & NCAA standout. Slam debut via Collegiate Wildcard Playoff.
• 📊 Career = 7–7 in ITFs, almost no tour-level wins. Only 1 pro win this year (Florence ITF).
• 🔥 Brief highlight: Indian Wells MD debut (lost 1–6, 2–6 to Minnen).
• 🏟️ US Open history: 3 failed qualy attempts before this wildcard entry.
• ⚠️ Limitation: Lacks tour-level intensity experience, will be tested by Lamens’ rally weight.

🔍 Match Breakdown

• Experience gap: Lamens owns ~350 career wins + a WTA title; Glozman just one pro win this year.
• Game styles: Lamens = grinding baseline control. Glozman = college-style aggression, but untested at WTA pace.
• Pressure: Glozman gets home support, but stage likely overwhelms. Lamens couldn’t ask for a softer opener.
• Upset path: Only if Lamens mentally implodes; otherwise gulf in levels is too wide.

🔮 Prediction

Lamens should impose control quickly, stretching rallies and drawing errors. Glozman will gain experience from the moment, but her weapons and stamina are not yet ready for Slam-level execution.

Pick: Lamens in 2 sets (likely under 18 games).

Jimenez Kasintseva vs Joint — US Open 1R Preview

WTA US Open Hard Court Round 1

🧠 Form & Context

Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva (No. 130, age 20)

• 🇦🇩 Andorra’s brightest prospect, long hyped since her 2020 AO juniors title.
• 📊 2025 record: 29–21 (8–3 on hard). Finally broke through Slam qualifying after 14 failed tries.
• 🔥 Qualifying run in New York: beat Nguyen, Sharma, and rising star Emerson Jones in tight matches.
• 🏆 Notable wins: Madrid 2024 (main draw upset), Iași 2025 R1.
• ⚠️ Limitation: Only four WTA main-draw wins in career; first-ever Slam main draw.

Maya Joint (No. 43, age 19)

• 🇦🇺 Breakout teen of 2025 with titles in Rabat (clay) and Eastbourne (grass).
• 📊 2025 record: 41–21 (19–12 on hard). Hobart SF + multiple top-30 scalps.
• 📉 Slam struggles: 0–3 in majors this year; lone Slam win = US Open 2024 R1 vs Siegemund.
• 💡 Game: Modern baseliner, aggressive on return. Still waiting for Slam breakthrough to match tour-level rise.

🔍 Match Breakdown

• H2H: 1–1 in ITF Otočec 2024 — both know each other’s game.
• Momentum: Jimenez Kasintseva arrives match-tough from qualies; Joint has more WTA seasoning but Slam scar tissue.
• Style clash: Joint’s heavier pace vs Jimenez Kasintseva’s angles + lefty variety.
• X-factor: Grand Slam debut nerves for Jimenez Kasintseva vs Slam anxiety for Joint (0–3 in 2025 majors).

🔮 Prediction

Upset watch: Jimenez Kasintseva comes in hot from qualifying and could ride that form. Still, Joint has more weapons, bigger wins, and should grind through if she controls her nerves. Expect momentum swings and patches of both brilliance and shakiness.

Pick: Joint in 3 sets — survives a lively debut challenge.

Haddad Maia vs Kartal — US Open 1R Preview

WTA US Open Hard Court Round 1

🧠 Form & Context

Beatriz Haddad Maia (No. 22, age 29)

• 🇧🇷 Former world No. 10, 2023 RG semifinalist — but currently in a hard-court freefall.
• 📉 Hard-court slump: 2–12 in 2025 (16 losses in last 18 hard matches since Oct 2024).
• 📊 2025: 10–23 overall; most wins came on clay/grass.
• 🏟️ US Open: QF last year (best Slam hard-court run). Defending big points = added pressure.
• ⚠️ Confidence crisis with back-to-back early losses to lower-ranked opponents (Lamens, Joint, Bouzková).

Sonay Kartal (No. 51, age 23)

• 🇬🇧 Rising Brit who just cracked the top 50 after 18 months of steady progress.
• 📈 Breakthroughs: Monastir 2024 title (as qualifier), Shrewsbury W100, Indian Wells 2025 R16.
• 🔥 Slam form: Wimbledon R16 this summer (d. Ostapenko en route).
• 📊 2025: 19–17 (8–8 on hard). Notable wins over Kudermetova, Andreeva, and Haddad Maia (Indian Wells).
• ⚠️ Still streaky — can fade physically in long three-setters — but confidence currently > Haddad Maia’s.

🔓 Full Match Breakdown (Free): Read on Patreon

📊 Tale of the Tape (Qualitative)

• Form trend: Edge Kartal (confidence) vs Bia (confidence dip).
• Surface fit: Kartal’s first-strike tempo working better on hard right now.
• Serve patterns: Bia needs lefty wide serve consistency; Kartal punishes short 2nd serves.
• Mileage/fitness: Slight concern for Kartal in long third sets; Bia’s durability a counter if she reaches that stage.
• Intangibles: Points-defense pressure sits with Bia; freer swing advantage to Kartal.

Boulter vs Kostyuk — US Open 1R Preview

US Open Hard Court Round 1

🧠 Form & Context

Katie Boulter (No. 48, age 29)

• 🇬🇧 Uneven summer swing: R16 in Cleveland, but early exits in Montreal, Cincinnati, and Washington.
• 📊 2025 record: 17–15 (5–8 on hard). Best run = Paris 125K title, plus R3 at Indian Wells.
• 🏟️ US Open best = R3 (2023). Fell in R2 last year.
• 💡 Strengths: Flat hitting, strong serve, aggressive first-strike tennis.
• ⚠️ Weakness: Inconsistent at Slams — just three R3s in 22 majors.

Marta Kostyuk (No. 28, age 23)

• 🇺🇦 Streaky performer. Montreal QF (d. Vondrousova & Kasatkina) showed her upside, but retired in Cincinnati with a wrist injury.
• 📊 2025 record: 21–17 (14–10 on hard). Slam season: R3 AO, R1 RG, R1 Wimbledon.
• 🏟️ US Open best = R3 (2020 & 2024).
• 💡 Strengths: Baseline power, strong return game, thrives in extended rallies.
• ⚠️ Weakness: Physically fragile, mentally volatile in tight matches.

🔍 Match Breakdown

• H2H: Boulter leads 1–0 (2024 San Diego final, came from a set down).
• Kostyuk’s risk: Wrist injury could limit forehand aggression.
• Boulter’s chance: Flat pace can rush Kostyuk if she’s tentative. But hasn’t won B2B hard-court matches all season.
• Key factor: Fitness. If healthy, Kostyuk’s rally tolerance makes her favorite. If compromised, Boulter has a genuine shot.

🔮 Prediction

On form and ceiling, Kostyuk should edge this. Her baseline strength and returning game can outlast Boulter. But fitness questions loom large. If her wrist holds up, she wins in three sets. If it flares, the Brit could score another upset.

Pick: Kostyuk in 3 sets — with injury risk as the wild card.

Lorenzo Musetti vs Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard — US Open R1 Preview

ATP US Open Hard Court Round 1

🧠 Form & Context

Lorenzo Musetti (No. 10, age 23)

• 🇮🇹 Hit a career-high No. 6 on the back of deep clay & grass results (Roland-Garros SF, Wimbledon SF).
• 📉 US swing wobble: 1–3 across Washington, Toronto & Cincinnati.
• 🏟️ US Open: Best = R3 (2022, 2024). Overall 8–10 in hard-court Slam main draws.
• 💡 Strengths: Variety, backhand flair, clever point construction when in rhythm.
• ⚠️ Weakness: Inconsistent on hard courts; translating clay form can be hit-and-miss.

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard (No. 37, age 22)

• 🇫🇷 Rapid riser with massive serve-forehand combo.
• 📊 2025: 17–18 (9–9 hard). Winston-Salem SF, but let a lead slip vs Van de Zandschulp.
• 🏟️ Slams: 1–5 in MDs; best = Wimbledon 2024 R16 (as LL). 0–2 at the US Open.
• ⚠️ Composure watch: Several matches lost from winning positions (incl. 2–0 up vs Fritz at Wimbledon).

🔍 Match Breakdown

H2H: Musetti leads 2–0 — Stuttgart 2024 (straights), Wimbledon 2024 R16 (in 4).

Musetti’s edge: Pace redirection and spin variety that disrupt GMP’s linear power. The slice/backhand changes height and tempo, forcing extra balls and awkward contacts; his return patterns blunt free points.

Mpetshi Perricard’s chance: The serve will buy cheap holds on NYC hard. If first-serve % stays high and he manages tiebreak emotions, he can nick a set and stress Musetti’s rhythm. But in extended exchanges, the Italian’s craft tends to expose GMP’s on-the-move forehand and patience.

Best-of-five factor: Over longer arcs, Musetti’s composure and tactical range gain value — especially against an opponent with a history of closing wobbles.

🔮 Prediction

Expect at least one tight set decided by serve streaks, but the match picture tilts toward variety over raw pace. Musetti’s mixing and return quality should carry the key moments.

Pick: Musetti in 4 sets — GMP’s serve likely steals one, experience and consistency do the rest.

📊 Tale of the Tape (Qualitative)

• Serve firepower: Big edge Mpetshi Perricard.
• Return & rally tolerance: Clear edge Musetti.
• Variety & change-ups: Musetti’s slices, angles, and pace shifts vs GMP’s straight-line hitting.
• Big-point composure: Musetti steadier; GMP has blown leads this season.
• BO5 fitness/adjustments: Advantage Musetti over time.
• NYC surface fit: GMP gets cheap holds; Musetti more ways to win points.

Marton Fucsovics vs Denis Shapovalov — US Open R1 Preview

ATP US Open Hard Court Round 1

🧠 Form & Context

Marton Fucsovics (No. 63, age 33)

• 🇭🇺 Arrives red-hot after winning Winston-Salem — 3rd ATP title, dropped just one set.
• 📊 2025: 37–16 (15–3 hard), his best extended form in years.
• 🏟️ US Open: 4–9 lifetime, never beyond R3.
• 💡 Strengths: Physical baseline presence, fitness, grind-you-down patterns.
• ⚠️ Concern: Post-Winston-Salem fatigue often bites players in NYC.

Denis Shapovalov (No. 29, age 26)

• 🇨🇦 High-ceiling shotmaker. Titles in Dallas & Los Cabos + Acapulco SF propelled return to top-30.
• 📊 2025: 19–16 (11–8 hard). Outside those peaks, struggled to string wins.
• 🏟️ US Open: QF 2020, R16 2017 — one of his better Slams.
• ⚠️ Slams 2025: Only 2 total match wins across AO/RG/Wim — focus wavers in long matches.

🔍 Match Breakdown

H2H: 2–2. Wins traded across surfaces, all best-of-three; first Slam meeting since AO 2020 (Fucsovics in four). Form vs fatigue is the headline: Fucsovics brings rhythm and confidence, but his attritional style is energy-hungry and the quick turnaround from Winston-Salem has historically been tricky.

Shapovalov’s wildcard factor is first-strike velocity — if serve + forehand sync, he can take the racquet out of your hand. But inconsistency and decision-making can leak games. The heat/humidity amplify both stories: short, aggressive points favor Shapo; elongated, physical rallies favor Fucsovics.

Key swing: return depth on Shapo’s second serve and how often Fucsovics drags rallies beyond 5–6 shots. If the Hungarian can lean on the backhand wall and stretch exchanges, he saps Shapo’s patience. If Shapo lands >65% first serves and takes early cuts, he flips the script.

🔮 Prediction

Two streaky profiles: Shapovalov owns the higher one-set ceiling; Fucsovics owns the season-long steadiness. The Winston-Salem boost cuts both ways (confidence vs. gas tank). In New York, Shapovalov’s serve-plus-forehand and positive Slam history give him a thin margin.

Pick: Shapovalov in 5 sets — expect momentum swings and a couple of tiebreak-heavy passages.

📊 Tale of the Tape (Qualitative)

• Serve + first strike: Edge Shapovalov for raw pace and quick holds.
• Rally tolerance & fitness: Edge Fucsovics; thrives in longer exchanges.
• Recent form: Fucsovics trending up (title); Shapovalov patchy outside peak weeks.
• NYC Slam factor: Shapovalov owns deeper runs and comfort at the USO.
• Fatigue flag: On Fucsovics post-Winston-Salem turnaround.
• H2H context: 2–2, first BO5 since AO 2020 — endurance layer favors Fucsovics if Shapo’s focus dips.

Francisco Cerúndolo vs Matteo Arnaldi — US Open R1 Preview

ATP US Open Hard Court Round 1

🧠 Form & Context

Francisco Cerúndolo (No. 19, age 27)

• 🇦🇷 Argentina’s top player; peaked early in 2025 with strong Masters/250 runs.
• 📉 Current form: 5 wins across last 7 events; rough losses (Taberner in Umag, Borges at Wimbledon) and a retirement vs Zverev in Toronto (abdominal).
• 🏟️ US Open: 2R in 2023 & 2024 (2–3 overall in NYC).
• ⚠️ Watchpoint: lingering fitness doubt + shaken confidence.

Matteo Arnaldi (No. 64, age 24)

• 🇮🇹 Big-stage performer who embraces Slam pressure.
• 📊 US Open: R16 on debut (2023), R3 in 2024 — loves New York vibe.
• 📉 Form dip: three-match skid (Bonzi, Van de Zandschulp, Zverev); looked flat in Winston-Salem.
• 💡 Upside: fearless vs higher ranks (d. Auger-Aliassime in 5 at Roland Garros). Proven grinder.

🔍 Match Breakdown

Cerúndolo’s A-game is built on forehand weight and patient counterpunching from the ad corner. When healthy, his hard-court level travels — remember the Miami/Indian Wells surges this year. The rub: an abdominal niggle can cap serve pop and rally stamina; if the legs fade, the error rate rises.

Arnaldi’s lane is intensity and length: stretch exchanges, force extra balls, and make Cerúndolo prove the body. He’s comfortable on the Slam stage and won’t blink at scoreboard pressure. If he drags this into a physical, 3-hour grind, the Italian’s resilience and NYC track record come alive.

On script, Cerúndolo dictates with FH patterns and holds enough under fire. Off script, Arnaldi’s depth and rally tolerance turn this into a coin-flip war of attrition.

🔮 Prediction

Volatile matchup: “healthy Fran” likely wins clean; “compromised Fran” meets a live dog in Arnaldi. Lean the former — with turbulence.

Pick: Cerúndolo in 4 sets, with real upset equity for Arnaldi if this becomes a long, physical scrap.

📊 Tale of the Tape (Qualitative)

• First-strike forehand: Edge Cerúndolo when timing is on.
• Rally length & legs: Longer favors Arnaldi’s engine.
• Serve health: Cerúndolo’s abdominal status = key swing factor.
• Slam composure: Arnaldi comfortable in New York; Cerúndolo needs a clean start.
• Momentum: Both trending down; micro-edges decided by physicality on the day.
