Danielle Collins v Elena Rybakina

A major champion and a major finalist will play for a spot in the 4th round of a major. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Daniell Collins created many highlights in her previous match but thinking she won when she didn’t takes the cake. When it comes to tennis, Collins is once again showing herself as one of the top talents in the world if she’s healthy. That’s the major question when it comes to her.

If she’s healthy, she’s always been really good and last year’s Australian Open final run shows that. Elena Rybakina is a player who benefits from the conditions here and she’s shown capable of winning a grand slam in the past. It’s going to be an interesting and close one as the H2H is tied at 1-1.

We think it’s going to be another close one.

Daniil Medvedev v Sebastian Korda

Both Medvedev and Korda played well leading up to this event with some good results. They both continued playing well.

The H2H sits at 1-0 for Medvedev as the Russian won their only previous match. It was indoors so it’s not a good way to compare to the condition we’ll see here but it will be played at night and that should benefit Medvedev more. The conditions will be quite slow and that suits Medvedev.

The Russian can drag out the rallies and wait for his chance. That’s how he likes to play and how he made two finals in Australia. Korda will try to hit as many winners as he can and we expect quite a few but unlikely it will be enough to win the match.

We could see him snatch a set so an over or handicap would be a good idea. We’ll go with the very risky Medvedev 3-1 win.

Coco Gauff v Bernarda Pera

Coco Gauff took down Emma Raducanu in the previous round and she’ll look to do the same to her compatriot Pera. The American is playing really well right now so Gauff will need to do well in this one.

As Pera likes to hit the ball hard, Gauff will need to be vigilant in tracking down those balls. Luckily she’s very quick around the court so that should work fine. They never played before so this is their first meeting. Other than that, it will be very interesting to see what Gauff can do.

Pera plays similarly to Raducanu and she should face similar difficulties as Raducanu did. Hitting so well that you blast off Gauff off the court is almost impossible so she will need to try several things. I don’t see her doing that so we expect Gauff to win.

Back her to win in straight sets and comfortably.
