I agree with both of you that Swiatek will be the champion today, just hope Muchova doesn't let that happen easily, the final match should provide an interesting spectacle for tennis lovers. Muchova is not one of the players who is calculated to be able to perform optimally to finally reach the final and before defeating other favorites who were previously even predicted to be Swiatek's only strong challenger, so what she has achieved should not be let go so easily because Swiatek had faced difficulties when she faced Haddad Maia, so everyplayers have a chance to give a tight game today.
Bet on over 18.5 and hope Muchova is solid in her service game even though it doesn't have to go to 3 sets but at least there isn't a 6-0 score which is very unpleasant to watch in the final match.
Well currently its just one sided and Swiatek leads 5-2 in the first set and looks like she will take the set and the title pretty much without any hard work. For over 18.5 Muchova will need to work more and get some games but still its realistic that over comes in the second set.
Swiatek won the first set 6-2. In the second set Muchova had an opportunity to win, she missed it and then made a comeback and won the set 7-5. Now the match have moved to the third set, this is interesting. After Stuttgart Open title win Swiatek lost Madrid Open final and lost Italian Open quarter finals match. Once again she had reached the finals and it favours her amidst the hard competence from Muchova.
Watched the entire match and it was just amazing. The first set Swiatek dominated as usual but Muchova woke up and won the second set and was playing really good in third set,but the quality of Swiatek is just high and she won yet another French Open and continues to hold the no1 position.
Also watched it and I must admit it was one of the best WTA finals this year (if not the best). Muchova resisted surprisingly well and there even was a chance for her to win the title. Swiatek lost focus completely in 2nd and 3rd sets and was broken several times. Unfortunately for Muchova, she started losing her serve games too. It was very similar to the semifinal vs Sabalenka but Muchova was in Sabalenka's shoes now. She couldn't keep several surely winning shots in and ended the match with a double fault.
P.S. Ruud vs Djokovic tomorrow guys! I will be betting on Djoko.
Yes it was great, I have to say Swiatek has the mark of a true champion when it
comes to Grand Slams, she was able to find an extra gear to overcome the onslaught
of Muchova. Normally I wait to do a bet on the favourite when they go behind or
are under pressure but I didnt have the courage to go with Swiatek.
4.40 on Ruud today? Am I blind or what?
Sure, Đoković has got huge experience and yes - he did play really well even while Alcaraz was fully fit.
Still - Ruud really does have powerful shots that can break Đoković's defense and these odds seem pretty unrealistic to me.
Shame I lost it all on City handicap win yesterday, I'd be all over this. I still probably will - although my monthly gambling allowance has already been depleted
Definitely with those odds he is worth a $1 wager at 4.5
But, Its Grand Slam Final day and Djokovic will be on another level especially for
his #23 GS win, I hope Ruud has learned a lot from his last final defeat!
