Trending
Townsend has been working towards improving her game in the singles format alongside her doubles game. She's had a decent season so far by chalking up a quarterfinal run in the Canadian Open and a third-round appearance in the Charleston Open. She also reached the second round at Indian Wells via the qualifiers, where she lost to Anna Kalinskaya in three sets.
The American comes into the US Open on the back of a promising result in Cincinnati. She entered the main draw via the qualifiers and defeated the likes of Caroline Dolehide and Daria Kasatkina en route to the last 16. Despite a spirited effort against Jessica Pegula, she fell to the sixth seed in straight sets 6-2, 6-3.
Martina Trevisan, meanwhile, has had an ordinary season so far on the women's tour. Apart from second-round appearances in the Australian Open and the Morocco Open, she hasn't been able to make her presence felt on the Tour so far.
The Italian will enter the competition in New York on the back of early exits in Cincinnati and Cleveland. She came up short against Cristina Bucsa in the first round of the Tennis in the Land 6-2, 6-4. Trevisan will be hoping to raise her performance levels at the US Open and get back to winning ways.

Taylor Townsend vs Martina Trevisan prediction
Taylor Townsend has sent a strong message to the women's locker room with emphatic wins over the last fortnight. She defeated higher-ranked opponents such as Dayana Yastremska and Jelena Ostapenko with ease and also came up trumps against Daria Kasatkina. Her accurate serve and heavy groundstrokes often give her the upper hand in long rallies.
Trevisan, on the contrary, has struggled to find her rhythm this year and needs to boost her confidence with a special win. She has a steady all-around game and commendable fitness levels on the court but can lack the killer punch against resilient opponents. The Italian will be hungry to make a deep run in what is her fourth appearance at the US Open this year.
A tricky contest is on the cards between Townsend and Trevisan in the first round. It is most likely that the American will continue her rich vein of form and power through to the second round.
Pick: Taylor Townsend to win in three sets.
