Sabalenka vs Rybackina: while I don't dislike Sabs, I'd like to see Rybakina win. She's a great player, very gracious and does not SHRIEK at the top of her voice every single shot. I respect Sabalenka's game and she seems to be very well-liked by the other players. But, the WTA needs to clamp down on her grunting. It has to be a distraction to her opponent. She'd win a lot of matches anyway, but allowing her to live in the gray area of the rules is not fair. If Rybakina serves well and continues hitting the way she has been this whole tournament, she can definitely beat Sabs. I look for a 3-setter that Sabs wins but I do hope it's Rybakina who pulls it out.

Men's side: Joker should've lost in the quarters so Sinner will be one participant in the Finals. Zverev has been close several times but just can't seem to get over the hump. He'll give Alcaraz a fight, I believe, but Carlos will go onto the Finals. I'd probably take Sinner to win the Open again, but I believe Alcaraz, at his best, is the best player in the world (by a hair over Sinner). But, he has to play almost his A+ game to win, imo. Sinner in 4, maybe 5. Either one is a deserving champion (any of the 4 would be, also).
