So here’s how it shakes out: Swiatek is the deserved favorite, Sabalenka is the champ who knows how to handle this environment, and Gauff is the volatility play she could take the whole thing or flame out in the first week unfortunately

No one wants a 4-hour grind against them in week one
I’m impressed with Adrian’s game lately esp during Cincy. Maybe the bald-head summoned new powers??
