Can you feel the tension in the air folks? You have to love Wimbledon. It gives us these delicious setup, like the one between Leylah Fernandez and Caroline Wozniacki. Now, Wozniacki has shown some sheer strength recently. Despite the lack of a seed, she's been plucking those games, sprinkling some surprises along the way. However, there was that one hiccup and ah, my heart just sinks, right in the match against Mertens, I tell ya.
On the other side, we've the 30th seed, Fernandez. Don't ask me how she's become a favorite doing what she does best, converting matches to wins. A straight-setter against Bronzetti and that nail-biter game against Keys, it's been quite a run. A small trip on the way against Kasatkina but we all have our days, right?
But tennis, dear friends, is a game of love. And sometimes it's the love for the underdogs. However, the bookies don't seem to have extraordinary love for Wozniacki this time around. I mean, who could blame 'em? Fernandez, she's been dispatching opponents with a lethal precision of a sushi chef chopping tuna.
It should be an exciting match-up folks, but my money, figuratively speaking of course, I wouldn't ever bet, that would be unprofessional, wouldn't it? My money's on Leylah Fernandez. Perhaps a tight affair though, given Caroline's tenacity, so don't rule out a comeback.
Albert’s Prediction: Fernandez in 3 sets
