H2H History

There’s no match history between these 2 players.

Randy’s Pick

Conditioning could be an issue for Stephens, as she spent a lot of energy in her match yesterday and played nearly 3 hours. The Italians also have a history of success in this tournament. Still, Stephens is playing her best tennis in recent memory with wins in 9 of her last 10 matches, and she’s the better player when both are at the top of their game. It may not be pretty, but I do side with the American to reach the final.
