Who will win and in how many sets?

I will be rooting for ADF but expecting Tsitsipas to win it...

Tsitsipas raised his level today beginning at the later part of the first set, if he can keep it up, he should win. But I like ADF and would love to seem him rise to the occasion. If he does, it might be the match of the tournament (which, unfortunately, doesn’t necessarily say that much).

I do think there have been some wonderful matches this tournament though. Otherwise I agree with this and am hoping that ADF plays a great match, plays to win, and prevails. Who I root for and who I think will win don't always match up and I am always glad to be wrong in my predictions in favor of who I am rooting for! :)
 
Not that I have anything against Fokina, but I think he's not going to find Tsitsipas to be quite as amenable to choking as his Djoker and Griegor.

This will probably be ADFs best chance to win a title for quite some time.
If he actually succeeds though, he’ll have to be reevaluated.

Fokina really does look like a Nalbandian clone. The highlights today just clicked in for me.

Thanks for the poll. Request for future ones: have the most lopsided scores at the top and bottom. That way the most competitive scores are in the middle, so you can easily see which way TTW leans. For example, this is how the poll looks reordered like that. Anyway, just a suggestion!

Last year ADF gave Tsitsipas the closest set in the tournament (a 7-5) before retiring. This could actually be competitive, I'm kinda sad that I won't be able to watch.

Did we watch the same match? He played a great second SET but he did not play a good first set at all - Zverev simply played worse! Let's see how he does tomorrow.

I think Tsitsipas will prove to be too much for Fokina. At least this Tsitsipas. QF or earlier Stefanos could have been a different thing.

But happy for Fokina. He built up on his Djokovic win no matter what happens on Sunday.

Came here to say exactly this.
Over his run there last year noone gave Tsitsipas a harder time than ADF and a hurt one at that. So you never know.

ADF will challenge Tsitsipas to play well enough to win, in three.

It would be quite the accomplishment for WTFokina to skip directly to a Masters for his first victory in his maiden ATP final. In fact, it’s been 2.5 years since he made a singles final of any kind (October 2019 Liuzhou Challenger title).

In the poll it's 36 for Tsitsipas and 13 for Davidovich Fokina.

I so hope I am wrong in my prediction and ADF wins the tournament! I hope those 13 are correct! :)
