In one of the round 4 matches of the US Open 2021, fans will witness an epic clash between Bianca Andreescu and Maria Sakkari. Both the players look in superb form and have played some fabulous tennis at the Grand Slam so far.
Bianca Andreescu v Maria Sakkari: Preview
Former US Open champion, Bianca Andreescu recently defeated Greet Minnen to enter into the pre-quarters of the US Open 2021. She gave absolutely no chance to her opponent and thrashed her in straight sets. Interestingly, she is yet to drop a set at the Grand Slam.
Similarly, Greece’s Maria Sakkari too has exhibited some quite phenomenal skills on the court. She hasn’t lost a single set at the major either and steamrolled over Petra Kvitova in the third round of the US Open 2021.
While Andreescu has got an incredible serve, she has to find a way to tackle the powerful forehand of Sakkari. The Greek player has a great win percentage when she hits it and sometimes creates enough room to play it even when the ball is very close to her body.

Bianca Andreescu v Maria Sakkari: Prediction
While Andreescu will begin as the favorite before the match, it will be interesting to see how she manages to avoid unforced errors. Even though she is enjoying some great form, she can face some really tough competition from the Greek player.
Sakkari has the potential to turn the tables. She has got an amazing forehand which is enough to give her points even in the worst scenarios. However, she needs to gain an early lead in order to give herself any chance during the match.
