Wow! Townsend destroyed Andreeva who is the current world number 5 which is something special. She is the dark horse of this particular tournament. On the other hand, it was sad seeing Shelton walkover after a great performance, but that shoulder injury looked bad.
Am expecting another final between Alcaraz and Sinner with Alcaraz winning while Swiatek and Sabalenka will probably duke it out in the final with Sabalenka winning. Early predictions!
That indeed was a great win. I really wanted ti make a bet on her but was doubtful
of her capability to actually win so I made a very conservative handicap bet of
+7.5 @ 1.19 (I know - low odds) which obviously turned out to be overkill!
She could be a dark horse to at least reach the final but there is stiff opposition
waiting for her.
My next WTA bet is on the Kasitkina v Osaka later today. Kasitkina is ranked higher
but this is Osaka's favourite surface. Would really like to see her progressing.
