Hunter vs Inglis Prediction 25 August 2026
🔊 Storm Hunter and Maddison Inglis open the US Open women's qualifying draw. Both players arrive in similar form, and the statistics point to a potentially extended contest. The surface is hard court, which is relevant to how this match may play out.
Head-to-Head
📊 The two players have met once before - at the same stage of the US Open last year, when Maddison Inglis came out on top. That match was not one-sided, though, and carries little weight in assessing the current picture.
Storm Sanders Player Overview
Storm Hunter has gone 5-5 in her last ten matches - inconsistent form, though she has remained competitive throughout.

Over a longer stretch, she has been almost evenly matched with her opponents - winning 51% of points and 52% of sets.

Key factors
- In Storm Hunter's last six matches, Over 21.5 Total Games has consistently landed.
- Both players have similar percentages of games and sets won.
- Their head-to-head at this tournament a year ago went to two sets, though it was no walkover.
- The average number of games per match for both players exceeds 23.
- Both players' recent matches have tended to be competitive and rarely end quickly.
Expected scenario
A close, drawn-out match is expected, with neither player likely to dominate - their games and sets won on hard courts are closely matched, and both tend to go deep into long matches on the surface. The chances of a third set are rated as moderate, which supports a bet on Total Games - Over 21.5: even in a straight-sets result, long sets make it quite likely the total will clear that line.
Total Games Prediction
Storm Hunter has a pattern of extended matches - her contests rarely finish quickly, often requiring a high volume of rallies even in straight-set wins. That makes a high total an appealing bet in this one.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Several factors point in the same direction for Storm Hunter vs Maddison Inglis: both players have posted similar results in terms of games and sets won, neither has been winning or losing quickly in recent matches, and the H2H record gives no indication that a short match is likely. Given that dynamic, the value is clear: our pick is Total Games - Over 21.5.
