On the women's side its Sabalenka again in the final with Gauff challenging,
its looking like another win for Sabalenka IMO. She is favourite but not by much
1.75 v 2.09, possibly another 3 setter here?

The fight already started.. Cool

1.75 v 2.09 Cheesy

yes, today's match promises to be very interesting and close odds. But experience is the key here.

Gauff is incredibly motivated and enthusiastic. But facing a player like Sabalenka seems futile.
Gauff has had impressive success at the Madrid tournament. She knocked out Andreeva and defeated Swiatek.
After a disappointing defeat in Stuttgart, the American has regained her mental balance.
It's not just her physical condition. She is impeccable. She never tires, always ready for battle.
Her mental resilience compares to that of the Williams sisters.

However, Sabalenka awaits a tough challenge. You know, this is not a hard court; this is a clay court. Where Sabalenka brings a lot of experience.
Sabalenka's versatility demonstrates her ability to finish off opponents.
A win over Coco Gauff would be an important step towards dominance on clay courts.
Because Iga Swiatek has already given up her strong position. Sabalenka is on the verge of winning her third Madrid title.

Yea, it was difficult to see anything but a Sabalenka win, she is just too strong
ATM and dominating the scene. Gauff has great potential though but IMO
she should be challenging more finals.

Ruud takes the final in 3 sets. It was a great match, some outstanding tennis
played by the two lads, each breaking the other a few times with very little in it,
probably the experience of Ruud carried him through.

here in Italy/Roma we have everything ready for a great tournament at Internazionali 2025!
Just to have everything ready, Sinner has arrived today and he is ready to take his spot in the tournament. He has never won.
I don't know if this year could be the right chance (after the stop we can't know how he will play) but for sure he is ready to leave his sign.
First match for him to be scheduled between 9th or 10th May!

I'm sure he is as ready as he can be but he wont be match fit!
