Forecast for the fourth day of the U.S. Open
Jasmine Paolini vs iva jovic
Jordan: This is Jasmine Paolini's dangerous second round. However, the Italians' first round matches in Cincinnati and New York provided great encouragement. Iva Jovic has a huge future in tennis, but winning this game can be too challenging.
Prediction: Paolini 2
Ilemona: Paolini brought his motivation to New York, hit the ball with confidence and made it perfect with her footsteps. Jovic is still very new on this level, and although her talent is clear, it will be difficult to surpass Paolini's long-term gatherings.
Prediction: Paolini 2
Yesh: It's a real opportunity for Iva Jovic to show that her huge game can make a big impression. The Paolini may be too good to hit, but this will approach in front of a raucous crowd.

Leylah Fernandez vs Elsa Jacquemot
Jordan: Elsa Jacquemot has a great offense to overcome Marie Bouzkova's defensiveness. Leylah Fernandez Bouzkkova walked into the court and wanted to decide on a rally. This style is a tougher showdown for Jacquemot.
Prediction: Fernandez 2
Ilemona: Fernandez looks sharp in the opener and tends to play the best tennis ball in the lights of the big stages. Jacquemot fought hard in the first round but did not show the same consistency on the hard court. The intensity in Canada can be difficult to match.
Prediction: Fernandez 2
Jesus: Leylah Fernandez has been so lately that it is hard to predict her game. Her best performance is more frequent than in previous years, but that's not every game. I don't know how far this will take her here, but should have made her past Jacques Mott.
Prediction: Fernandez 2
liudmila samsonova vs priscilla hon
Jordan: I expect to feel uneasy here. Priscilla Hon hasn't given up on one since the qualifying round and has the tough style that Liudmila Samsonova often struggles with. The 17th seed serve is crucial to determine the outcome of the game.
Forecast: 3
Ilemona: Samsonova's first-round win showed hit ability and baseline hits, which usually puts her in danger in fast conditions, but after she threw the first set to Yue Yuan, there was no lack of the usual drama. Hon worked hard to get to this stage, supporting her qualifying with a direct victory in the first round, but she didn't bring the same weapon. It depends largely on whether she can directly get that early firepower.
Forecast: 3
Yesh: Both players looked good in the opening game, but Samsonova had higher potential and preferred these courts.
Forecast: 3

Emma Navarro vs Caty McNally
Jordan: Caty McNally will try to throw away Emma Navarro's interests at all kinds of speeds and networks. The 2025 ranks aside Americans’ indifference means impossible troubles is not impossible, but I believe her game is more complete and can give her an advantage.
Prediction: Navarro 3
Ilemona: Navarro has had a summer campaign, winning one in just four games, but her first round was a step in the right direction. McNally brings a contrasting style to her opponent's ability with her quick effort and rush. If Navarro can show calmness in the opener, it might be a chance to reset her tenacious swing.
Forecast: 2
Yesh: If she is healthy, Caty McNally could be a huge star. Navarro reached the semi-finals last year, but in the past month, she hasn't been close to her best. Despite this, I am not enough to expect this annoyance, but it definitely won't surprise me.
Prediction: Navarro 3
