Sabalenka in straight sets.
Ladies and gents, your attention please, as the stage is all set for a thrilling China Open showdown between the powerhorse Aryna Sabalenka and the resolute Madison Keys. Whilst
Keys has been holding her own recently, let's not overlook the fact that Sabalenka's current form is nothing short of sensational.
Each contest between them in the past ended with Sabalenka proving to be the more dominant on court, gulping down two victories out of our history books. We must also account for Sabalenka's flawless recent performances ending all in straight sets of love, much like a romantic tennis novella.
Keys, however, has been consistent of late, no doubt, but consistency doesn't really make up for that upset where Mertens served her a stinging 2 sets to 1 defeat.
Throw in the fact that Sabalenka is the top seed in this tournament, and we're looking at a Belarusian bulldozer in top gear against America's 18th seed. My friends, as much as we love an underdog success story, bookworms aren't betting on this one to be it.
Albert’s Prediction: Sabalenka in straight sets.
