Victoria Azarenka and Simona Halep meet within the quarterfinals with the 2015 US Open.
Victoria Azarenka is on its way off a straight sets wow Varvara Lepchenko and contains played nine sets this tournament. Azarenka is winning a minimum of 56 percent of her first serve points and 45 percent of her second serve points. Azarenka has combined for six aces, 86 winners and 70 unforced errors in their last three matches. Azarenka has seriously struggled from time to time with her service game and it is clearly still searching for her elite form. However, Azarenka just 21 or less unforced errors in three of her four matches and possesses to be gaining confidence each match considering she hasn’t played her best. Azarenka hasn’t made the semifinal of any grand slam ever since the 2013 US Open. This is Azarenka’s seventh grand slam quarterfinal appearance since 2013.
Simona Halep is originating off a three set make an impression on Sabine Lisicki and possesses played nine sets this tournament. Halep is winning a minimum of 56 percent of her first serve points and 39 percent of her second serve points. Halep has combined for five aces, 50 winners and 56 unforced errors in their own last three matches. Halep has played a clean game, committing no greater than 14 unforced errors in everyone of her first three matches. However, Halep was extremely sloppy in her own last match and may have easily lost. Halep is clearly fighting by using a leg injury. This is Halep’s fifth grand slam quarterfinal appearance since 2014. This is certainly Halep has ever been from the US Open.
These two have played the other twice within the past, and Azarenka has won both meetings last 2012. Azarenka has won both matches in straight sets, and Halep has won just six games overall in 2 matches. This will be the 3rd time Halep and Azarenka use hard court.
I put zero stock to their previous history given they occurred three years ago and Halep has turned the corner during the last couple of seasons. However, I question Halep’s leg of course, if she can always go against a level better opponent.
Healthy, Halep wins this match. Banged up, Azarenka can take advantage and cruise.
