A newbie vs. a GS winner.

Newbie has been playing freely so far without losing a set. However, once the trophy is within sight, expect newbie's game to be damaged psychologically.

But, Sofia is not very hot as well at the moment and so I would give Iga a set and back the established winner to repeat.

Swiatek has not lost a set en route to the final.Swiatek has bigger weapons than Kenin.If she can expose Kenin's serve with good returns to me she can take control of this match.Kenin as we have seen is good under pressure,crafty and could frustrate Swiatek.Kenin also has a advantage of played in a Grand Slam final and won.I have been impressed with the composure of the teenager on court.

Swiatek in 3 sets.

I definitely expect Swiatek to win. She has lost only 23 games all tournament which is incredible. Her game looks so good that I think she could win double digit slams potentially.

Swiatek has not lost a set en route to the final.Swiatek has bigger weapons than Kenin.

Same was the case with Petra Kvitova. She too did not lose a set en route to her date with Sofia.

Swiatek may have better weapons, but Sofia has better head. She is feisty. That is what wins championships.

I won’t be around to watch it, but please enjoy. A new RG winner and possibly a new slam winner. I picked her last week. Staying w/ my horse. Iga in 3
