This is so difficult to predict that I may have to sleep for two nights on it. I have a feeling, I will have it with 100% accuracy then.

Wow, Sammy in WD finals.

 

[isabelle]

I'll root for great Naomi

The outcome will significantly depend upon the weather and the roof. Hot weather (but not hot enough to close the roof) = Osaka; closed roof (i.e., indoor tournament) = Kvitova.

I dont know we saw Osaka defeat Pliskova with the roof closed,granted Petra does have an amazing indoor record.Updated weather forecast there is a change in Melbourne this afternoon,it is extremely windy and hot.They say both the ladies and mens finals which is played early evening will be much cooler.I watched Osaka this morning at practice the temp was 40c.

I'm hoping for Osaka to back-up her USO win.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

One year ago Osaka was ranked No 72 in the world.On Saturday she will have the chance to become the No 1 player if she can defeat Kvitova,her other reward winning back to back slams,becoming the first woman to win two straight singles majors since Serena Williams won RG and Wimbledon in 2015.Osaka can hit winners from any position on the court,has a great serve,good mover and defender.

.

Forget about that comparison. When was the last time that a first time slam winner in WTA also won the next slam?

I asked you a sincere question as I did not know the answer to it and you are overreacting.

From your reply it looks like you think it has never been done. But, I just checked up on it and found that Venus Williams won 2000 Wimbledon as her first slam and immediately followed it up with a win at USO in 2000.

p.s. I thought people come to discussion board to discuss.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I NEVER said it has not been done???? I am talking about the Present and the players involved.As I said before DO NOT REPLY TO MY POSTS PERIOD.I am DONE with your Nick Picking with my posts Find Another Poster to Harass OKay.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I have picked Kvitova in 3 sets.

I thought it was funny when osaka said something like “sorry for having resting * face” in a post match interview a few years ago, before her major breakthrough. That was the first time I had heard of her lol
