My Prediction
Boisson in 3 sets.If you want a commentary as dry as a piece of toast left out in the desert sun, you've come to the right place. Now, let's venture into the likely minefield that is the Hamburg Open Final between packing-a-punch Lois Boisson and all-action Anna Bondar.
Take a gander at Lois Boisson, the number 5 seed. As favored as an only child, she’s been bashing through opponents like a wrecking ball through a china shop. Her recent notable victories of two sets love against Yastremska and Tomova exude an air of confidence stronger than the aroma of a sharp Roquefort.
On the flip side, let's eyeball Anna Bondar, the spirited number 7 seed. Though she's been fighting her way up like a salmon swimming upstream, her recent successes are nothing to sneeze at. A particularly hearty slap on the back goes to her for vanquishing Juvan and Alexandrova, albeit in nervy three-setters.
They say in sports betting, you've got to follow the money. Or in this case, love for the game? Perhaps, it's a game of love and money. Now, ain't that a sweet thought?
But I digress. If I were to be put on the spot, I’d venture that it could be Boisson’s winning smile we'll be seeing at the end of the day. I suspect Boisson has the edge here, not that she needs sharpening for this match. Bondar will put up a battle and maybe claim a set. After all, sport without a little drama is like a chocolate cake without the icing - it's good but not "great".
Albert's Prediction: Boisson in 3 sets.
