Petra Kvitova vs Garbine Muguruza prediction
Kvitova is the favorite to win this match. She is in good form at the moment and has a power-packed game ideally suited to the quick conditions in New York. The southpaw attacks from the baseline and has a strong forehand. She likes to end points quickly.
Muguruza has struggled with her serve and on-court movement this season. At her best, the Spaniard plays her groundstrokes hard and accurately from the baseline. She will try to prolong the rallies in the hopes of frustrating Kvitova into making errors.
However, Kvitova is playing excellent tennis at the moment and will in all likelihood breeze past the struggling Spaniard on Saturday.
Pick: Kvitova in straight sets
