Here is the poll.

I have Saba in 3 sets. It was a good quality match between her and Navarro. Pegula is also playing on a high level. Hope for a good match tomorrow.

I picked Sabalenka actually to win the USO after her outstanding tournament she had at Cincinnati where here serve was that best I had seen it all year, and she won that title without losing a set
I am not changing my mind now,
Sabalenka to win her first USO title!

Roof is closed on Ashe for the Ladies Final ( raining outside)
Good luck to both ladies!

British umpire James Keothavong is the umpire for the match
Jess won the toss and elected to receive

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What did I do today to get Mary 'Motor Mouth' on my feed I cant take anymore of her and Mary Jo Fernandez time to mute lol!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jess cant afford to have anything short on her shots, as Saba just puts them away,

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

That was a lazy shot from Saba on her volley, that volley wasnt going over the net, her racquet head was too low for starters

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I like the return position of Jess especially on Saba's 2nd serve, just inside the baseline

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Bad miss from Sabalenka over played her fhand and Jess breaks back, back on serve 4-5 in the 1st set, Jess has to get more 1st serves in

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jess holds firm and 5 games all 1st set
Saba looks rattled to me keeps looking at her box, she needs to 'calm down'

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jesus Saba's serve has gone AWOL with a DF
Maybe last year's final is getting to her? forget that and reset her game pronto!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Apparently Saba has kept her worst serve for the final lol! well in the 1st set anyway

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jess wont go away Saba you need a first serve !

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Holy Moly finally Saba holds and what a hold leads 6-5 1st set
Remember it was 5-2 Saba, that seems ages ago

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Saba again over hit your bhand? you had 15-40 and now back to deuce
Watch your margins for goodness sake

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Saba just blowing away SPs she has had 4 now

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

First DF from Jess in this match and Sabalenka wins the 1st set 75

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jess Winners 9 UFE 11 BP 2/4
Sabalenka Winners 25 UFE 23 BP 3/7
1st set stats Sabalenka winning 7-5

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jess with her 2nd DF of the match, Saba breaks early in the 2nd set,
