Trending
Injuries haven't stopped Jabeur from playing her best whenever she's healthy. She was unable to build upon her semifinal finish in Adelaide as she lost in the second round of the Australian Open. After another couple of underwhelming results, the Tunisian claimed her first title of the year at the Charleston Open.
Jabeur then sustained an injury which forced her to retire from her semifinal match in Stuttgart. She still managed to reach the quarterifnals of the French Open later on. The Tunisian reached the Wimbledon final for the second year in a row, but lost to Marketa Vondrousova this time.
Jabeur was forced to miss the Canadian Open due to an injury, but returned to compete in Cincinnati. She made it to the quarterfinals there, but lost to Aryna Sabalenka and suffered another injury scare.
A semifinal appearance at the Lyon Open ranks as Osorio's best showing this season. She also made it to the fourth round of the Italian Open as a qualifier in another noteworthy result.
Osorio's preparation for the US Open has been quite bumpy. She failed to make it past the qualifying rounds in Cincinnati. To get some extra match play, she competed in a WTA 125 event, but lost in the first round to Storm Hunter.

Ons Jabeur vs Camila Osorio prediction
Jabeur has had to start all over again quite a few times this season due to numerous injuries, but she has prevailed over and over. She looked to be in decent shape in Cincinnati, but with her body acting up yet again, things are uncertain once more.
Osorio can be challenging to deal with. She's a thorough fighter and doesn't give up until the end. Making her opponents play that one extra shot which ultimately turns the point in her favor is the Colombian's modus operandi.
Jabeur has more tricks up her sleeve compared to Osorio. She's got the better serve and with her terrific variety of shots, she's even more lethal. She made light work of the Colombian the last time they faced off at the US Open, losing just one game the entire match.
Given how Jabeur has played this year, this could be another one-sided encounter as well in her favor, provided she's healthy enough to compete at a high level.
Pick: Ons Jabeur to win in straight sets.
