Both players will be looking to bounce back following recent setbacks, but the season stats favor the American as they take the court.

Who Will Win?

The numbers say Stearns holds a distinct structural edge across the season. Stearns carries an 18-15 YTD record (55% win rate) with 1 title under her belt, whereas Dart enters with a 3-5 season record (38% win rate).
