Iga Swiatek vs Emiliana Arango prediction

Swiatek is one of the most in-form players on tour. After a splendid run in London, she kept her calm to win in Cincinnati. The Pole hardly gives an inch to her opponents on the hard courts and will be tough to beat in New York.
Arango, meanwhile, reached her first final on the main tour this year. The youngster still has a lot to learn, but is moving in the right direction on tour. She will know what to expect from her opponent and needs to prepare accordingly for the first round.
No points for guessing that Swiatek will be a heavy favorite to win. Many have backed her to go the distance in New York, but for the moment, she is likely to solve this riddle in the first round.
Pick: Swiatek to win in straight sets.
