📊 One previous meeting - Aryna Sabalenka won it.
Aryna Sabalenka Player Overview
Sabalenka arrives as world No. 1, with seven wins from her last ten matches.

Over that period, she's won 54% of games and 70% of sets, holding serve in 69% of service games. Matches average over 22 games - high even against lower-ranked opposition.

Match Results: Aryna Sabalenka
Moyuka Uchijima Player Overview
Uchijima sits outside the top 100 but can make things difficult for higher-ranked opponents - five wins and five losses in her last ten matches backs that up. She recently came through qualifying in Toronto and won her opening main draw match, before that reaching the quarter-finals in Vancouver. Her matches tend to run long - over 25 games on average. On serve, she holds around 62% of the time. Rarely gets blown out: just two straight-set losses in her last ten.
Match Results: Moyuka Uchijima
Key factors
- Sabalenka's matches regularly go over 16.5 games.
- Both players average more than 22 games per match.
- Uchijima rarely loses by a wide game margin.
- Their head-to-head meeting ended in two sets, but wasn't completely one-sided.
Expected scenario
Sabalenka should win this, but a blowout isn't likely. Uchijima is capable of keeping the score respectable - which means the total has a decent chance of clearing 18-19 games even in a straight-sets result.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Does Arина need to come out demolishing? Probably not. It's a long tournament - better to find her rhythm gradually. The Japanese player, meanwhile, already has match sharpness in Toronto: two wins in, she'll run hard from the baseline. The bet - over 18.5 games. A reasonable call for this kind of situation. One competitive set is enough to get there.
