Sabalenka leads the head-to-head: 2-0. I’m going with Sabalenka in 2.

I go with Sabalenka in 3, too, because of her head and her wildness. Which I kind of like her for.

Sabalenka still has to play 'controlled tennis' she is apt to make UFE,she is the only lady in the final four that has never made a s/final of a GS.Her game against Jabeur was to me the best tennis she has played at Wimbledon so far,she needs to continue that game plan.Pliskova has yet to drop a set on her way to the s/final.

Sabalenka is nervous and making too many errors, but it’s early. Hopefully she’ll calm down soon.

It doesn't matter which of these clones wins today. Either will be holding that runners up Thanksgiving platter on Sat and not the Venus Rosewater dish. :-)2

Well I am not surprised that Pliskova won,I thought that Sabalenka could have a 'let down' after her win over Jabeur,though I did pick her to win in 3 sets.

Pliskova's lack of mobility if painful to watch in a match, even when she wins.

Her only hope is if she is lights off on her serve and Barty has an off game. Barty should exploit her lack of movement on the grass.

Seeing I was called into work at 7pm I missed both s/finals I will re-watch later today
I think people under estimated Pliskova,she had only lost one set of tennis before the s/final
I have met her personally at Sydney tournament she is a 'Zen' type person and delightful.

Interesting. The word “delightful” doesn’t spring to mind when I think of Pliskova.

I am surprised that Pliskobot managed to pull this one.

I thought finally we will have a WTA GS final pitting #1 vs. #2 and it turned out that is not to be.

Does anyone know when was the last time such a thing happened in WTA GS.
