I think a lot can happen but seeing her self as #1 on Monday i think will give Osaka an extra gear

First no. actual ranking - second if she wins semi - third if she wins the final
1 Naomi Osaka 5810 6330 7030
2 Petra Kvitová 5770 6290 6990
3 Simona Halep 5582 ------
4 Sloane Stephens 5307 ------
5 Karolína Plíšková 5100 5620 6320

Just finishing watching highlights of Osaka's match against Elina,who I thought would have too much strike power for Elina and also a better serve and won in straights sets.In saying that she comes up against Pliskova who has previously beaten her,great serve a big flat hitter of the ball.Osaka again has to start well like she did against Elina.I am leaning towards Pliskova in 3 sets,though I would prefer it to be straight sets after her match against Serena

Plisko will have a letdown after beating Serena. She even said beating Serena was the biggest obstacle of this tournament (meaning she doesn't have much belief the other SF's can defeat her). Besides, the winner of Brisbane never wins AO.

Pliskobot is coming from a tricky match and she does not even get a day off to sort things out. The powerful, Naomi will take out one dimensional Pliskobot. But, it will go to three sets. Hopefully, there will be only drama of good kind.

Naomi in three, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s 2.

 

[Vince Evert]

Naomi in two, but close sets on both.

Going for Osaka here and hope she makes the final.

I think your feed is ahead of mine. I was still at 40-40 when you wrote that. LOL.

As expected, Pliskobot having a letdown.

Understandable, but she's pretty flat.
