Elina Svitolina is fighting to reach the next step of the US Open for the third year straight and she continues a rapid ascension up the incredibly tough WTA ladder. Renowned for her steadiness, the Ukrainian tennis player is accelerating, so much so that she could actually leave the US Open with the WTA No. 1 ranking. There's still some way to go before that, as she has to stop Karolina Pliskova first. The match against Rodina should be easy. Let's see our tennis prediction for today.

Elina Svitolina comes into the second round of the US Open on the back of a win over Katerina Siniakova in the first round. Ranked fourth in the world, the Ukrainian is one of the favourites to win the US Open 2017 in the latest US Open women predictions. Evgeniya Rodina has made it to this round of the competition after overcoming Eugenie Bouchard.
One of the strong reasons for US Open WTA odds to seriously consider Elina Svitolina as a potential candidate for victory in the tournament is her recent form and strong opening to the 2017 tournament. The 22-year-old is aiming to get beyond the third round of the US Open, as she has failed to do so in the last two editions. Even though the Ukrainian is yet to win a Grand Slam, she has been in good form in 2017. She has already reached the quarter-finals of the French Open, while suffering a third-round exit at the Australian Open and a fourth-round exit at Wimbledon in 2017. US Open predictions consider the 22-year-old as one of the contenders for the title. Latest matches
Evgeniya Rodina has managed to match her best ever performance at the US Open after reaching the second round. The Czech Republic tennis star was knocked out at this stage in the last two editions. Yet, US Open betting expects a significant fight from the world number 80 after watching her overcome Eugenie Bouchard in a 7-6 (2), 6-1 win. The 28-year-old has been able to win one WTA title in her career. Her recent form has not been great after being knocked out of the Cincinnati Masters and Connecticut Open New Haven in the first round of the qualifiers. Latest matches

Elina Svitolina 2-1 @ 9/2 Betway
Even though Rodina was able to get past Eugenie Bouchard, she could only manage a 56% break point conversion whereas Bouchard was able to achieve a higher 75%. A relatively error-free match was also responsible for handing Rodina the victory. Our US Open WTA betting tips mentioned how Svitolina managed a difficult victory over Katerina Siniakova in the first round. She only managed to convert seven out of the 14 breakpoints. Given that Rodina boasts a decent form, we expect her to take a set, but this is a riskier bet @ 9/2 Betway.
