Victoria Mboko vs Barbora Krejcikova US Open 2025 Prediction

Krejcikova is a former quarterfinalist at the US Open – she knows these courts well. There is no doubt that Mboko will dictate the pace and directions of most of the rallies due to her attacking game-style. There are high chances of Mboko dominating the initial stages of the match, before Krejcikova finds her groove and eases into battle-readiness. The player who can get into attacking positions on their opponent’s second serves will profit.

Prediction: Barbora Krejcikova in three sets.
