Wow! We agree! Impossible!ashkor87 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 12:59 pm Today, Alcaraz 70% Medvedev 30%
Sabalenka 55% Rybakina 45%
Rybakina is playing great but so is Sabalenka, and at the AO she showed she is more willing to take risks and be creative..the AO surface suited Rybakina slightly better, yet Sabalenka could beat her.
Medvedev plays too passively won't work against Alcaraz
We shall see how it goes. I like Med and Ryba a lot, equally happy if I am wrong..
I say Medvedev has a better defense than anybody Carlitos has faced. He may get a couple of extra balls in, and it may give him a better chance.
And Daniil's serve is underrated. He has speed and variety. But yes, 70% Carlitos.
If Sabalenka keeps her DF under control, and there is no reason to assume she will not (because she has as of late), the 55% is accurate. But if Rybakina can also anchor her FH, we are ready for one hell of a match.

Really looking forward to the women's final. So, after ESPN has shown plenty of matches this week, and announced they would show it too, I tuned in.
Nope. Nowhere to be seen. Again, moved to their subscription service.
And then they show the little commercial about #supportequality.

It took Sabalenka almost five minutes to hold in her first service game.

I thought that shot was in along with Sabalenka but there's no replay available again today?

Also it's not a full house.

Sabalenka got the first break for 3-2 first set and consolidates for 4-2. You can never tell what Rybakina is thinking or feeling but I thought that Sabalenka was showing the most nerves.

And just like that Sabalenka does a Sabalenka and it's now 4 all.

Sounds like a fun match. I decided not even to look at the live scores. Of either final, the women's was the one I wanted to watch.

Sabalenka forced a TB and is up 2-0...make that 2-1.
She can't hold onto the lead though and Rybakina comes back for 3-2, misses and it's now 3 all.

It's 9 all in the TB.

The double-faults are starting to add up for Sabalenka.

Set point saved with a wicked forehand cross court winner by Sabalenka.

Rybakina took the TB and first set 7-6(11). She's ahead 3-1 in the second set.
