US Open WTA - Wednesday early

Juvan, Kaja    +118                  +4

Davis, Lauren -145

Kaja Juvan IMHO is a ..............Live Dog !!!

Juvan is 14-3 in matches played starting with Wimbledon 2023. She’s 22 yrs and from Slovenia and is ranked #145.

She won 3 qualifying matches to get to the main draw and survived 5 match points and has played more than 8 hours of tennis already in 5 days.

She was a break down in each set against Elisabetta Cocciaretto in her 1 round main draw match on Monday and came back and won 6-2, 7-5.

Lauren Davis (29 yrs old ranked #50) is only 5”2 and is a grinder. She does not overpower any opponents nor out serve them. She’s consistent and moves well and just grinds and fights.

She was on a four-match losing streak coming into this year's US open.

Her won loss record starting at Wimbledon until today is 4W 5L (not a lot of matches played).

Note * Head-to-head they are 1-1. Lauren Davis won 7-6, 7-6 in Birmingham last year 2022 on grass, and Juvan won in Rome on clay in 2020.

Both players have very similar games and styles, so I expect a dog fight.

The game total was set at over 21.5 which tells me that the bookmakers expect a tough long dogfight. Neither player plays well with a lead. They both play better and fight harder when they are behind or down a break.

I struggled over how to play this, so I finally chose to play Juvan +4 games instead of playing the over 21.5 game total

My play is ………………..K. Juvan +4 games.

GLTA

MY Bad!!!!! 

I errored badly and Juvan is not +4 games. Note*she was +1.5 games

My play is on over 21.5 games total.

Sorry.

Thanks for the super easy and early winner! First set tiebreak and then Juvan broke and it's going flying over! 

Easy money. You the man! 

Nice hit! Thanks for the great write ups as well.
