As the tennis world gears up for the final Grand Slam of the year, the US Open, all eyes are on the women’s draw to see who will emerge victorious in this unpredictable competition. Tracy Austin, Tennis Channel analyst, is eagerly anticipating the excitement that is sure to unfold at Flushing Meadows.
In a recent US Open preview show at the Edge at Hudson Yards, Austin shared her insights on the rising stars of the WTA tour who have been making waves this summer. From the 100th floor, Austin praised the likes of Paula Badosa, a former world No. 2, who has been in top form and is poised to make a significant impact at the tournament.
“Shoutout to Paula Badosa,” Austin exclaimed. “I’m including her in the mix because she’s been playing exceptionally well.”
However, Austin’s dark horse for the US Open is Amanda Anisimova, a player who has taken a break from the tour but has made a spectacular comeback to the Top 40 rankings. With impressive wins over top players like Kasatkina, Sabalenka, and Navarro, Anisimova has proven that she is a force to be reckoned with on the court.
“She’s somebody that nobody wants to see in their draw,” Austin emphasized. “Her big serve, powerful groundstrokes, and newfound confidence make her a formidable opponent.”
On the American front, Danielle Collins is gearing up for her final appearance at the US Open, aiming to surpass her previous fourth-round best. With the support of the home crowd, Collins is determined to make her mark at Flushing Meadows and potentially cause some upsets along the way.
With the women’s draw wide open for the taking, the stage is set for an exhilarating US Open filled with suspense, drama, and thrilling matchups. As the tennis world eagerly anticipates the action to unfold at Flushing Meadows, one thing is certain – this year’s US Open is bound to be an unforgettable experience for players and fans alike.
