A spot in the next round is at stake on Sunday, when Dayana Yastremska goes up against Lucrezia Stefanini in the US Open first round. Dayana Yastremska has dropped 3 straight and sits at 4-6 over the last ten. Lucrezia Stefanini limps in on a 3-match losing skid, just 3 wins in 10.
Yastremska's 62.3% behind the first serve (against 54.9% for Stefanini) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. The edge belongs to Yastremska — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
