.
So, we're onto the final Slam of the season. Simona comes into Flushing Meadows on a very good run, having won 13 of her last 14 matches, 26 of her last 30 and winning three titles (including a PM & a P5) in the last 4 months. Her partnership with Darren looks like it is starting to bear fruit and, in general, hopes are high that she can succeed on the courts that suited her pretty well last year when she made the semifinal.
At the time of writing she is 2nd or 3rd favourite for the title with all but one of the UK bookmakers.
Simona's WTA Ranking: 5 (not going to publish the Top 5 & their points because this tourney is really about one thing only.)
