Danielle Collins vs Jaqueline Cristian prediction

Collins has missed her killer instinct during the most significant events this year. She's still chipping in with decent results, but needs to tighten the screws to do well in New York. The American has a potent all-around game and can beat any opponent on her day.

Cristian, on the other hand, has done well at events lacking the top-tier competition on tour. She reached the third round in Montreal, but couldn't follow up with solid results in the next two events. The Colombian has a steady all-around game and isn't afraid to mix things up on court.

Cristian will have a tough task on her hands against local favorite Collins. She might present a stern challenge for the American, but is most likely to come up short in the first round.

Pick: Collins to win in straight sets.
