Serena Williams faces another tough test in her latest professional tournament when she takes on Australia’s Ayla Tomjanovich in the third round of the 2022 US Open on Friday.

She threw 11 aces and hit Kontaveit’s serve five times to maintain a chance of making it to the final.

With this win, she improved her win-loss record for the season to 30–20.

Serena Williams win 1.73 Ajla Tomljanovic win 2.20

Prediction

Williams will need some time to get a feel for her opponent’s style of play, the American will be imagining her chances of getting into the 1/8 finals.

Her serve played a big part in her success at Flushing Meadows this week, but it was her quick gait that took opponents by surprise. The American stood up for herself in conducting basic exchanges.

For Ayla Tomljanovic, the key will be to find a way to keep points short as she could very well end up in second place in longer rallies. Her backhand is the ultimate weapon, but her very dangerous second serve is also a major chink in the armor.

The Aussie has played well leading up to this match and has the game needed to push Williams forward.

Prediction for this match: Serena Williams win in straight sets.
