My Prediction
Ostapenko in straight sets.Pull up a chair, tennis enthusiasts, because these two Latvian lionesses are about to roar. We're talking Anastasija Sevastova and Jelena Ostapenko. Sevastova, not seeded and a headline grabber in intermittent fashion, has had moments of brilliance - take her recent demolition of Pavlyuchenkova. But that's a glimmer in an otherwise uneventful year.
And then there's Ostapenko. 23rd seed. Recent match history as appetizing as a culinary tour of Paris. Straight set victories against the likes of Sabalenka and Alexandrova show she's been practically handing out tennis lessons. The confidence seems to be dripping off Ostapenko as if she's just walked out of a Gatorade commercial.
Where's my money? Wake up and smell the freshly cut grass, folks. Sorry, Sevastova, I'm sure your breakfast cereal still tastes perfectly fine, but Ostapenko’s serving up a heaping dish of superiority on this side of the court. Even the potent Latvian balsam wouldn't disguise the bittersweet flavor of this prediction.
Albert's Prediction: Ostapenko in straight sets.
