Ena Shibahara edged past Daria Saville in an entertaining win in three-sets in the opening round.

Head To Head

This will be the first meeting between the pair in a competitive match.

Iga Swiatek Form

Iga Swiatek has aspirations of winning the 2024 US Open, but if her first round clash is anything to go by, she will have to fight very hard to secure the trophy.

Swiatek's 6-4 7-6 win over Kamilla Rakhimova put her ability to battle on full show, but did it reveal that she is not quite at her best right now?

Of course, her battling opening win may have just been a small blip, while it may also show that she is improving on her ability to win matches that she is not consistently on top in. The major criticism of Swiatek has been her inability to win as often as she should, and she will want to make it two wins on the bounce as she looks to add to her five Grand Slam crowns.

Ena Shibahara Form

Ena Shibahara came through qualifying for the US Open and secured a stunning 6-3 4-6 7-6 win over Daria Saville in round one.

Her four-match winning run shows she is in good form, while she boasts a very impressive 40-14 record, with her 40 wins only 16 less than Swiatek has managed this season.

However, Shibahara now takes on the number one ranked player on the women's side, and I believe this will end in defeat. While she will learn some real lessons from the clash, it will also see her US Open campaign brought to an end.

Verdict

Iga Swiatek v Ena Shibahara

I am backing Swiatek to secure a straightforward win in the second round as she ensures the clash is far more comfortable than her first round win.

Swiatek 2-0
