On women's single, Iga Świątek still is unbeatable. Her arch rival Aryna Sabalenka is already out of race and Mirra Andreeva had been a surprise success. I guess Iga and Mirra would win their semis to meet in finals.
Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka lost in the quarterfinals only made it easier for Ribs Swiatek to defend her title because in my opinion Coco Gauff in the semifinals or also opponents in the final will not give something special, even I think for the women's section it becomes unattractive, my prediction in the semifinals or maybe in the final we will see Swiatek giving bagels to his opponents or only a score of 6-1 6-1.
In many meetings, Coco Gauff only won once at WTA Master last year and that was not Swiatek's favorite surface.
Interestingly in the Men's, there will be a new champion, and the most awaited semifinal Jannik Sinner vs Carlos Alcaraz, my prediction player from this draw will have a big chance of becoming a champion.
Iga Świątek as expected won in a straight set against Coco Gauff to reach the finals. I had predicted Julia Avdeeva to win or at least give a competition to Jasmine Paolini but she lost in a straight set. There's no option for any other player to win it except Iga Świątek. The best odds for her is 1.2
Even though Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are higher rated players, I think Casper Ruud would have better chance as clay courts are a bit different than other courts and Casper Ruud has a better record on it. I remember back in time when Rafael Nadal kept winning French Open even though he was not even near to title on other grand slams.
and Paolini got the job done against the Russian teenager Andreeva in two easy sets
6-3 and 6-1. She now faces Swiatek in the final.
The odds suggest Paolini doesnt have much of a chance, 1.05 v 9.00, I kind of agree
with those odds, I dont think she can beat swiatek, unfortunately and possibly
a bet under 17.5 might be a winner too...
Alcaraz v Sinner - most people are favouring Alcaraz, the odds are 1.59 v 2.30, I dont
know what to think about that, my head I suppose says Alcaraz but my heart is with
sinner for sure.
Is it even going to 5 sets I wonder?
