Former world No. 1 Andy Roddick has weighed in on the US Open, sharing his predictions for the women’s tournament. Roddick highlighted the absence of Elena Rybakina as a significant loss, noting her potential to make the tournament even more unpredictable. Despite this, he believes Aryna Sabalenka has the edge, citing her recent victory over Iga Świątek in Cincinnati as a key indicator. While recognizing Świątek’s strong form and the potential of Coco Gauff, Roddick believes Sabalenka’s recent performance and overall momentum make her the favorite. He also acknowledges Gauff’s promising start, but cautions that her upcoming match against Elina Svitolina will be a tough challenge.
