Given the mental fortitude of both combatants, it could be the lowest quality final of all time. Hopefully not though.

Sabalenkoids in 2.
 
This one will come down to who can control their nerves the best. And that will be Anisimova in 3. Anisimova to have fellow American Coco Gauff in her box as a distraction to Sabalenka.;)

The way Anisimova has bounced back after that devastating Wimbledon final loss at the very next slam, if she wins this, it's like a Hollywood movie, considering who she beat to do it.

Natasha Zvereva never made a slam final again after RG 88, and that she was only 17 at the time. For a while, she had a pattern of losing the round before she would play a top player.
 
The crowd will carry Anisimova and anger Sabalenka. Will the shrieker respond like Djokovic or collapse? We shall see. I don’t think Anisimova is choking here.

sure she bounced back but that double bagel was embarassing. remains to be seen if she can keep her cool

Indeed. Anisimova is in another high-pressure majors final, but Sabalenka has won majors, so she's very experienced on that stage. I'm hoping Sabalenka in two (with Anisimova over hitting everything to keep pace and subconsciously remembering her previous majors final), but it could be Sabalenka in three. Either is fine as long as she is the victor of the 2025 US Open title.
 
Interestingly Anisimova leads the H2H 6-3 and beat Sabalenka at Wimbledon before choking horrifically in the finals. Sabalenka has the Major pedigree, but it seems historically Anisimova is not a good matchup for her. Be interesting to see how this turns out. I'm leaning towards Sabalenka, but with a H2H like that if Anisimova won I wouldn't be shocked.

True Sabalenka either wins by hitting the opponent out of court or loses by overhitting.

Here is an opponent who can outhit herself. This match doesn't have any favorite

I'm 55/45 in favor of Sabalenka only because she's won multiple HC majors and knows how to handle that moment. But a hard hitter with grit is a problem for her. I could see this being a repeat of the AO final this year if Anisimova doesn't choke this time. I leave the French out because Gauff is a bit different mold.
 
Should be a good match. While Anisimova obviously hasn't won a Slam, she has been a final (and seemingly learned a lot from her humiliating loss) and has beaten Sabalenka - many times. I don't put much stock in Anisimova's winning H2H in the sense that I think she is favored. But, the H2H simply speaks to the fact that she can beat Sabalenka, it's not a bad matchup for her, and she should be able to really get a foothold in the match and compete well, win or lose. Clearly, they're both big hitters that can be streaky. Both very good serves, Sabs maybe a bit better. Sabs a better mover and a bit more variety, should she employ it. But Sabs has a lot of scar tissue from this year, not winning Slams that she could have, which could make her play freely and just say "f*ck it" or could cause some tension and doubt - or both at different times during the match. Anisimova has different scar tissue - the 0-0 loss. It's sort of odd because it's really "score" scar tissue ("score tissue?") not "result" scar tissue. She wasn't expected to win that Wimbledon final, and there would be NO consternation or comment on the loss had it been even 6-2, 6-1 - it would be celebrated as her making her first Slam final. Beating Iga (not excising, but at least putting a mental bandaid on the 0 and 0 loss) probably helps her in this final, and as long as she doesn't get down 0-4 or worse, then the "score tissue" shouldn't be an issue.

I thought I was early spotting Amanda (writing "this lady could be somebody" in early 2019) but looks like she was on several TTW members' radar already at age 15. Cool, fun to read some of those old comments. Great to see her doing so well again lately, hope she takes it all!

I'm referring to that previous appearance. How did she end up with a scoreline like that in the final?
Click to expand...
All nerves bro. She called all her family and flown mum specially before the final.
Added extra pressure to herself.
Don't think that will happen again.
 
I think it will be an easy walk for Amanda. Maybe something like 6:3 6:2. Sabalenka will play horrible again.

Yeah, Sabalenka is the favorite to win. I really don't care about Steve's prediction.

I am betting on Amanda and USA!

Soon we will see what happens...
 
Both players have worked their way into form over the course of the event, after some unconvincing early round displays. Whereas Anisimova won her opening round at Wimbledon by the same score that she lost the final (12-0), she struggled in both R2 and R3 here, and Sabalenka had a tight set in all three of her opening round matches. They both turned up the intensity in R4.
 
I'm hoping Aryna, but voted for Amanda in 3. If Aryna starts better than against Pegula and then can keep up similar level as say against Rybakina in AO couple of years ago, then probably Aryna in 2.

Decent final line-up anyway, the pooping on women's tennis was thankfully (at least partially) averted.
 
Rooting for Amanda, but I think Aryna takes it in 2. I'm a little surprised that most people are going with Amanda.

What happened to Saturday night session

I don’t understand the decision of the organizers either. Is it about TV stuff because of football games or whatever. Either way, not a good time to start. It’s also hot today.
