Who wins?

@AnonymousFan is on fire with these polls/threads.

I’m going to have to think about this one, though, before committing to a vote.

I’ll go with Osaka in 3. Vika may have a great return, but so does Osaka.

Osaka in 2. When she locks in with any kind of focus, she completely dominates. Very impressive player all around. Extraordinarily talented.

 

[Jelenafan]

I pick Osaka in straight sets.

 

[Federberg]

I pick Osaka in straight sets.

Too fast too powerful. I agree with your prediction

 

[tented]

I'd love to see Vika win, but Osaka will probably win in 2.

 

[Federberg]

If Vika junks her it might be interesting. But if she tries to match her power she's in trouble

Osaka has never lost at a major once reaching the q/final stage.
I think this will have a lot to do with both ladies 1st serves,Vika can neutralize a big server,though Vika's 2nd serve has always been her weakness.Both ladies have good bhands,Vika to me has a slightly better one,Osaka has a better fhand.
Both ladies can redirect,though I feel Osaka can absorb pace better.
My heart says Vika,
My head says Osaka in 3 sets.

BTW If Vika wins she will rise to No11 ranking in the world.If she loses No 14 ranking in the world
If Vika wins today,she will have the longest gap between Grand Slam women's singles titles in Open Era history,7 years,231 days.
Vika last win AO 2013.

Regardless of the result if Osaka wins she will remain at No 4 world ranking.

 

[Bonaca]

I like both, think Osaka is the better player and will win in 3.
But I root for Vika, would be so huge success for her.
идти до конца Viktorija!

My heart is with Vika, but I very much like Osaka too. I will not skip the opportunity to watch this match. Hope it will be a good battle and we see 3 sets.

 

[Moxie]

I think Osaka in 3.

 

[kskate2]

I went w/ NO in 3.

 

[kskate2]

Oh no MM. Your Ken Doll and Chrissie on the call.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Oh no MM. Your Ken Doll and Chrissie on the call.

I will remain silent

Osaka having trouble again with her ball toss

There is a silver lining.....Mary Jo Fernandez is courtside.

 

[kskate2]

Vika gets the early break

 

[tented]

It’s early, but I’m already wondering if voting for Osaka in two was the right choice.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Vika getting her 1st serve in which is a must also redirecting the ball well.

Absolutely. She’s running Osaka around.
