Eala will be pleased with her level on the main tour. The 20-year-old has already claimed some big scalps, including Iga Swiatek and Madison Keys in the past. She possesses the ability to beat any opponent on her day.

Tauson, meanwhile, has been equally impressive in 2025. She's hardly put up a bad performance and will be eager to make a statement at the Majors. The Dane has great technical ability on the court and likes to pick her spot from the baseline.

A mouthwatering encounter is on the cards in the first round of the US Open. Tauson will be a favorite on paper due to her ranking points and brilliant results on tour. The Dane should be able to bring her A-game to the fore and begin with a tough win on Sunday.

Pick: Tauson to win in three sets.
