My Prediction
Sabalenka in straight sets. Don't come looking for me if this doesn't go as planned, folks. I'm just a voice behind a mic.Oh, dear, do we have an interesting match up here. It's a David and Goliath scenario if ever I've seen one – Aryna Sabalenka and Anna Blinkova. Visuals are important folks, so please do not confuse them as they take the court - Sabalenka comes in as the tournament top seed and Blinkova strolls in quite unseeded.
Now, history tells us that numbers never lie - Sabalenka leads Blinkova 2 games to love in their previous meetings. Blinkova hasn't been able to crack that Sabalenka shell yet, folks.
Switch over to recent form and the story hardly changes. Blinkova's been doing okay, showing some light at the end of the tunnel with three consecutive straight set victories, but let's not ignore those two losses just a week prior. Sabalenka's trip down memory lane is a bit bumpier, with a recent loss to Ostapenko, but balanced with a good run of four straight wins before that. Seems like good news and bad news are playing tennis in Sabalenka's books.
Summing up, folks, we've got a world-beater in Sabalenka going up against an uphill warrior in Blinkova. Regardless, the prediction isn't as complicated as my last relationship.
Albert's Prediction: Sabalenka in straight sets. Don't come looking for me if this doesn't go as planned, folks. I'm just a voice behind a mic.
