Final will be against either Dan Evans or Karatsev, a Russian who I'd heard nothing about before last year and seems to be a bit of a late bloomer. Murray's knocking on the door of the top 100 and will make it in if he wins the tournament. Good on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norrie seemed flat and subdued. They'll try to put it down to Covid interruptions but Korda also had to miss a week due to the virus.

Homme Posted yesterday at 16:47 Share Posted yesterday at 16:47 Sanders is overpriced v Sabalenka. Brit wise I can see Murray and Evans progressing. Broady will lose to Kyrgios.

However i think she will be too good for Rad. Straight sets win. I dont gamble but she is favourite too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homme Posted yesterday at 17:37 Share Posted yesterday at 17:37 Bet365 have Emma as slight favourite still. Rybakina absolutely destroyed her. Stephens not at that level but I think she will edge a close game. Sabalenka has been an absolute mess since the new year. She is there for the taking tomorrow morning. I didn't see it but noticed Gauff is out. She was one of my dark horses. I'm of the opinion it's 100% Barty's to lose but Elena Rybakina is my top female player so I'd love her to win her first slam.

Rad v Sloan will be intriguing. Its a tough call I think as jury still out on Rad really. On Ladbrokes Sloan is favourite or was. Sabalanka , is like most on the circuit now.. wildly inconsistent . Halep is one of the worse. I haven't seen Rab play so cant comment about her. I am unsure who she is playing next round ? Thats a surprise re Gauff as it was predicted she would be the next big thing a couple years back but hasnt came through as yet. She has plenty time to do so.
