Wildcard Caty McNally is set to clash with Germany’s Jil Teichmann in the first round of the US Open. McNally has battled a string of injuries over the past two years, most notably the elbow problem that kept her out of the 2023 US Open. She underwent surgery in February 2024 and only rejoined the tour that November, but staying fit has remained a challenge. A shoulder issue forced her to withdraw from Austin, and she exited in the first round of the Australian Open.

Still, she showed flashes of her old level with a Challenger Newport title and fought through to the third round in Montreal before a second-round exit in Cincinnati. Across 14 matches this season, McNally has struck 23 aces, won 60.5% of first-serve points, and converted 45.5% of break chances while also holding steady with 43.3% on return points.

Teichmann, meanwhile, has endured an up-and-down campaign sprinkled with moments of promise. She reached the quarterfinals in Singapore, captured the WTA 125 Mumbai crown, and later produced a finals run in Iasi along with a quarterfinal showing in Bari. But aside from those deep runs, her season has largely been defined by early exits. In 17 matches, she has fired 33 aces, won 61.2% of first-serve points, 41.8% of return points, and converted 41.5% of break opportunities.

My journey into sports media began far from the field, rooted in the arts and sciences. Funny enough, I didn’t grow up a sports fan; I used to see it all as just noise. But a fateful writing job introduced me to the world of sports, and what began as a gig quickly became a passion. I understood those voices aren’t noise; they’re emotions of true sports fans, and now I am one of them, writing with the same energy I once questioned.
