'23 US Open Women's Draws and Discussion

[ponchi101]

Pegula a surprisingly large favorite in eyes of the sports book. She's at -300. For comparison, Dasha is -350 to beat Minnen.

I know nothing about betting, but sounds about right to me...

[Fastbackss]

Exactly. This is saying Dasha is about the same fav as Pegula.

I would not be willing to say that.

Cirstea is really exposing Rybakina's lack of movement..

Yes, Watson says 93% Pegula ...seems a bit high to me but that is the trouble with these percentages.. I would make it 70-30:Dasha 90% I can understand...

[ashkor87]

Watson :
Alexandrova 31% Vondrousova 69%
Samsonova 48% Keys 52%

I would reverse the Samsonova-Keys estimate, and would say Alexandrova - Vondrousova is 50-50

[JTContinental]

I'm going to split the difference with you and say that Vondrousova takes out Alexandrova and Samsonova beats Keys fairly easily

[ashkor87]

Watching Saba...she seems to be moving much better these days....must have worked on it...she is so sweet..sweet smile..commentator is saying her biomechanical consultant got her to realize her serving yips were not mental, her action had no upward movement.. interesting..watching carefully to see if it is visible..

[ashkor87]

Keys and Samsonova, cut from the same cloth..can't handle each other power!

[ashkor87]

Increasingly clear why Samsonova hasn't won a major yet.very poor footwork, movement..

Keys, on the other hand ... ))))

[JTContinental]

Well, I couldn't have been more wrong about Samsonova/Keys...

[ashkor87]

Well, I couldn't have been more wrong about Samsonova/Keys...

Me too

Oh,she was always like that

[ashkor87]

First time I have watched a full match of Samsonova. This court is too fast for her..she needs IW or clay..

[ashkor87]

Vondrousova's defense frustrating Alexandrova...who isn't coming forward either...V is likely to win
She is a worthy Wimbledon champion...
