US Open 2019 Women's Finals Pick RESULTS
Total:  0 Win; 1 Loss

Bianca Andreescu and Naomi Osaka are going to be terrorizing Tennis for a good decade -- unless injuries continue to plague them. Though both have similar potential but very different games, Andreescu is a "gym rat" or its tennis equivalent. She loves being on the court and pushes herself extremely hard.

[Osaka N.] (1) vs. Gauff C. (WC) -- This is a toss-up only because Osaka has peaks and valleys whereas Gauff has shown a steady level of exceptional play. Osaka's highest level, especially her serve will be the determining factor because Gauff's serve tends to level off in the second set.
