Bianca Andreescu vs Caroline Garcia prediction
Garcia will enter the match as the favorite to win given her current form. However, someone of Andreescu's talent should not be written off as she will be in good spirits after overcoming a tough opponent rather convincingly.
The Canadian's game has a lot of variety and she has a lot of different ways of hitting her groundstrokes. Andreescu often bends while hitting her groundstrokes, thus using her entire body to generate as much power as she can. She can also mix things up through her effective and well-disguised drop shots.
Garcia will look to be aggressive from the start and make the most out of her service games. The Frenchwoman's powerful groundstrokes and on-court movement will come in very handy to cope with her opponent.
Andreescu and Garcia played out a thrilling match in the final at the Bad Homburg Open and we could have another exciting fixture in Flushing Meadows. This time, the Canadian might just manage to get the win and reach the last 16 of the US Open.
Pick: Andreescu to win in three sets.
