VARVARA GRACHEVA vs SLOANE STEPHENS – PICK
WTA AUSTIN
This might sound hard, but Sloane Stephens can be filed under the term ‘’flakey’’. By that we mean she blows both hot & cold, and predicting her well-being isn’t easy.
The 29-year-old won her two matches this week in straight sets. Nevertheless, she was a big favorite against both Heather Watson and Taylor Townsend, and the form doesn’t amount to much!
At her previous tournament in Merida, Stephens did at least beat today’s opponent in the 2nd-round. However, that match was close (5/7 6/2 7/6) and decided on a final set tiebreaker. What is more, Varvara Gracheva won their only other meeting.
For the record, after winning that match in Merida, Stephens was thrashed (0/6 0/6) in the next round by Camila Giorgi. Also, her other 4 matches in 2023 ended in defeats.
Sloane did win last year’s (W250) Guadalajara, and at the end of the year reached the quarter-final of the $2.5M tournament at the same venue. Along with making the QF of the French Open, they were the American’s season highlights!
As for Gracheva, the 22-year-old needed three sets to win both of her matches. Nonetheless, she defied the odds to beat Anna Blinkova and Magda Linette.
We believe Gracheva can take plenty of confidence out of beating two higher-ranked players. Other season wins against Daria Kasatkina & Tatjana Maria suggest the Russian player is progressing nicely.
In conclusion, Gracheva had plenty of time to recover from her two matches. We have witnessed her being fully focussed, and playing her best tennis! Consequently, the younger player is willing, ready & able for the challenge ahead!
