Sabalenka has been pretty scratchy through this whole tournament, but still coming through. Basically, she's been rising to the level of her opponent, but not flexing her #1 muscles. I still think she'll beat Swiatek, who has also been pretty patchy in her matches. I still like Aryna for the title.

Today's match was an oddity. Siegemund knew she would not beat Aryna matching her strokes, so she hit a lot of junk at her, and it was working. But you must be able to hit that junk.
Iga is not a junk baller; she will match Aryna's strength with strength, and if so, Aryna will get a cleaner ball to hit. But Iga is a bit faster than her, so they can match up well.
I think Iga's chances are good.

Actually I would love to see Anisimova take this but she was up 6-1, 5-2 and barely hung on for that 7-6(9) win of the second set. She can't do that again.

I think both both Andreeva and Anisimova have a solid chance to win as well.
