It's going to be Sabalenka in 3 sets.
My dear audience, let's dive right into this exciting semi-final clash between Aryna Sabalenka and Marie Bouzkova. Now, Sabalenka is the first seed in this tournament, and it's not for nothing; the woman's as fearsome as a wolverine on the court. Bouzkova meanwhile, a lady with tenacity but has wandered in unseeded to party and give us some memorable games.
Our records show these two have had a rendezvous in the past, specifically back in March 2023, where Sabalenka sent Bouzkova home with a "straight set" loss on her rap sheet. Not exactly a nostalgic moment for Bouzkova, I would imagine.
Bouzkova has been delivering clean love-love wins over the last week, only dropping a set against Kessler. Sabalenka, on the other hand, gave a love-love thrashing to Azarenka and had a minor hiccup against Rakhimova, where she dropped a set. Rest assured, Sabalenka's coming into this contest with a vengeance after her that odd no-result game against Kalinskaya.
Now, here’s my two cents on this game. Remember folks, you heard it here first. Sabalenka, with the #1 seed and her past record against Bouzkova, walks into this game with a slight swagger. However, Bouzkova's recent performance is not to be taken lightly.
Albert's Prediction: It's going to be Sabalenka in 3 sets.
