Camila Giorgi vs. Simona Halep 8/30/21 - US Open Women Singles Picks & Predictions
Last Updated: 08/27/2021 at 8:42 AM ET
Simona Halep is set to play at the 2021 WTA US Open in New York City. Simona Halep is set to start his tournament against Camila Giorgi from Italy.
Camila Giorgi last played at the Cincinnati Masters where she was eliminated in the opening round of the tournament. Despite that result, Giorgi will feel that she is in good form as she recently won the Rogers Cup in Canada. The Rogers Cup turned back the clock for Camila Giorgi as she returned to her best for the week. During the tournament, Camila Giorgi defeated the likes of Elise Mertens and Petra Kvitova. That being said, this is a tough start to the tournament for Camila Giorgi as she is playing an elite player in Simona Halep.
Looking at Simona Halep, the Romanian superstar has missed major parts of the season and that has seen her fall down the rankings. Simona Halep is currently the number 12 seed but she will feel that she is a better player than the seeding suggests. It has been a tough few months for Simona Halep as she has not made the quarterfinal of a tournament since the Stuttgart Open in April. Halep will hope she can play her best tennis at the US Open.
Simona Halep and Camila Giorgi have played each other once in the past. The match was played in 2015 at the Miami Masters. On that occasion, Simona Halep won the match in straight sets. There is a limited history between Camila Giorgi and Simona Halep. This should result in an exciting contest.
Looking at all the information, I am going to pick Camila Giorgi to win this match. Simona Halep has struggled in 2021 and she has not had a huge amount of time on court. In contrast, Camila Giorgi recently won the Rogers Cup and will be high on confidence. I see Camila Giorgi winning in 3 sets.
