Looks like we're in for a thrilling showdown between Aryna Sabalenka and Emma Navarro. Now, not to delve too deeply into Sabalenka's bank account, but, let's just say she's been known to pay out... reliably. She's the higher seed, number 2 to Navarro's 13. Plus, Sabalenka's coming off a love, love performance against Zheng Q. You get the feeling Sabalenka could play with a teddy bear in one hand and still win.
On the other side we've got 'Madamoiselle Upset,' Emma Navarro. She's victorious one-on-one against Sabalenka in the past, but that was way back in the dark ages of March... what has she done recently, you ask? Well, she's off a more grueling three-setter against Gauff C, had some 'nail-biting fun' against Kostyuk M. You really gotta appreciate her resilience.
On, paper, Sabalenka’s the safe bet - it's like choosing pizza, it rarely disappoints. But keep your eyes locked on Navarro, she's got a penchant for sneaking an upset. However, as much as I love an underdog, I’m putting my stock in Sabalenka’s reliable performance.
Albert's Prediction: Sabalenka in 3 sets.
