Volynets is battling. 

@bringit

 Nice call on Jones spread e

Most of my attention has in Romania this week and obviously I've sucked in Abu Dhabi but I really like Linda Noskova to beat Badosa. Lean towards over also. Basically either Linda will win, the over will hit, or both Linda and over hit. Can't really see this match playing out with a Badosa win and under. 

Big win for Ashlyn 

I think Linda finishes this in straight sets

@bringit

 Amazing call on Linda. Missed the dog odds!

@monkeebooger

 When Noskova plays like this she's nearly unstoppable. She made some ridiculous shots. Broke Badosa 5 straight times to close out first set and match. Looking at the draw every other player has flaws. Could be Rybakina in the final who was taken the distance by Volynets and could struggle again being back in coaching limbo. 

Personally, I might consider Noskova as the favorite here now. We know from past experience that when that girl is playing like that you straight HAMMER her every match until it's over.

At 20 years old she's almost certainly a future top 5 player. Possibly into top ten this year. She would already be much higher if not for losing her mother last year and the grief and time off for that.

@bringit

 Noskova should crush Linette tomorrow. Probably massive favorite 

I was thinking about taking Danilovic but I was watching the coin toss to see who served first and afterwards Olga went over to the chair ump and covered her mouth and whispered to her. The chair responded with something like 'ok, I'll give you extra time'.

It scared me off her. And after completely blowing the first set she went for an extended locker room visit.

Any chance Seidel upsets Blinkova? I thought she was impressive against Cristian. 

wouldn’t be that much of an upset imo they are pretty similar in skills - but don’t be fooled - Cristian is bad and Blinkova also dominated in her first round

Same style but I would trust blinkova more..she got more experience and in close battle that is what matters most

Yes

@bringit

 Any thoughts on Golubic upsetting? Odds seem extremely low 

@bringit

 Also, riding the Stearns train again? 

I like her and it's possible but not sure she'll get through potapova though. I'm on +4.5 games

I don't know. Odds seem really low. Most likely I'm going to wait and see how things go and maybe jump on live opportunities. 

Bogdan is the play today IMO. I'm on Krueger too but she's already up a set.

@bringit

 Sounds good. The over in Stearns match looks appealing as well
