If Iga is really underperforming this week she'll go down tomorrow morning to Noskova. I don't think she's in such a poor form, but I could be mistaken!

If Elina decides to play nothing but defense, eventually her shorts balls will allow Iga to step in and hit the winner. On grass, the low bounce did Iga in. At the Aussie, the ball will not stay low
That's what I am banking on... at any rate I find it hard to look past Sabalenka after yesterday's performance

Svitolina was hitting the ball hard in her 3-set loss to Gauff last week. She played quite well, but Gauff played better.
Svitolina's history is to back off in slams. If she goes against instinct she will have a shot against Swiatek.

i think Svitolina's serve usually dooms her.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2024 7:26 pm Svitolina is a retriever/defender. Collins is an attacking player, whose shots stopped landing in.

Re: 2024 AO Survivor Pool: UPDATED WTA Picks and Results
Day 7 Picks for the 7 survivors
Svitolina - 5
Navarro - 1
Paolini - 1
REACTIONS
No one wanted to touch Burel-Dodin? Are you saving Yastremska?
Svitolina: The obvious pick. Heavy favorite and then might Iga. But I would have tried to save her in case Noskova upsets Iga, or Svitolina does later, as she did at Wimbledon.
Navarro - it was a good guess based on her form this month. Only her second loss this year, and the other one was to Gauff.
Paolini - A toss-up to me considering Blinkova fought so well to beat Rybakina. If she wins, you'll be in good shape going forward.

If Svitolina loses today, we´d already have a winner here!

If Svitolina does lose, only the WTA Survivor winner will have a pick left in the entire contest as ATP is done and dusted,

True. I wasn´t even paying attention to ATP since Shelton ruined me over yesterday.

I've just realized I am the last Australian still standing downunder... well apart from the Demon.

Good call! We usually joke about your jinxing powers. We seldom for your spot on commentary.
