Nikola Bartunkova enters the US Open first-round matchup as the clear favorite against Mayar Sherif, driven by her career-high ranking near No. 38 and strong recent hard-court form. The 20-year-old Czech reached the Monterrey Open semifinals in the WTA 500 tune-up, securing wins over Antonia Ruzic, En-Shuo Liang, and Darja Vidmanova before falling to Elise Mertens, while adding victories over players such as Clara Tauson and Bianca Andreescu earlier in the North American swing. Sherif, ranked around No. 49-51 at age 30, has posted a mixed 2026 record with clay success including deep runs at Iasi and Hamburg but exited early in Monterrey and holds limited hard-court momentum heading into New York. The hard-court surface and Bartunkova’s youth and improved consistency position her ahead in trader consensus for this Grand Slam opener.
