You think Pliskobot is similar to KA? I think the more real comparison would be to Milos Raonic. Someone who can defeat the top players here and there, but lack the mobility, mental toughness and point construction to win a major anywhere except Wimby.

Raonic is very very boring...no personality..Plshkova is like a cyborg...Svitolina has an unpleasant persona on court,,

This is a bottom heavy semifinals.

I like em both top and bottom heavy ladies...I couldn't resist

SERIOUSLY ..both semis should be outstanding

This is a bottom heavy semifinals.

which can only mean the winner comes from the first half

More of her on-court demeanor. I thought of Milos too.

Question is, will Simona fail to get #1?
This is a double bonus for her.
She did stop Pliskova from becoming #1
