Jennifer Brady vs. Angelique Kerber 9/6/20 - US Open Tennis Picks & Predictions
Last Updated: 09/05/2020 at 8:44 AM ET
German tennis superstar Angelique Kerber has made it into the fourth round of the 2020 US Open. At this stage of the tournament, Angelique Kerber is set to play against Jennifer Brady from the United States.
Angelique Kerber has looked in outstanding touch in this tournament as she is yet to drop a set at this event. In the previous round of the tournament, Angelique Kerber defeated Ann Li from the United States in straight sets. It was a very strong performance by Kerber as she only lost 1 service game while breaking her opponent’s serve on 4 occasions. Angelique Kerber has won 3 Grand Slams including the US Open in 2016 so she should be very comfortable and confident as she approaches the later stages of this tournament. On the other side of the coin, Jennifer Brady will be hoping to make a major impact by having a huge US Open campaign. Brady enters this match having defeated Caroline Garcia in the previous round. It was a strong performance by Brady as she controlled the match with her serving. Jennifer Brady hit 10 aces which helped her win 68% of her service points and all of her service games. The receiving was also solid from Jennifer Brady as she won 3 return games. The tournament is getting tougher and Brady must produce her best tennis if she wishes to compete with Angelique Kerber.
This will be the first time that Jennifer Brady and Angelique Kerber will be playing each other at a WTA event.
Taking all the information into consideration, I am going to pick Angelique Kerber to win this match. Jennifer Brady has been playing well and despite being on home soil, I see her losing this match. Kerber has looked in good touch and German knows how to win big matches. I see Kerber having too much skill and experience for Jennifer Brady in this match. Kerber to win in 3 sets.
