Well I was originally talking about yesterday's match and I did say that they should be good for 2-0 moving forward. When I said that I didn't know they had such a tough matchup next round but honestly I still think they should be good for it. And the moneyline they should absolutely be good for. But the variance in no-ad doubles always makes dropping a set possible.
Personally I'm already on 2-0 but I didn't blast it or anything. And if they drop the first set I'll likely buy back in unless they are just completely out of sorts for some reason. But I watched the whole match last night and they were in EXCELLENT form.

Yeah they are definitely out there ballin again today. Hell they look better than the team looks with Townsend half the time honestly. They should be nearly impossible to beat in this tournament.

I don't have a ton of conviction about it but I've had a great day on the lives so I'm gonna dabble a little with Sabs 2-0 & Alex +5.5 (+281)
I kinda like AA myself too. Svit played out of her mind against Pots but hopefully she comes back down to earth. Was completely unimpressive in her two matches prior though.

Both of my darlings in Landisville lost in the semifinals last night so the final is Zakharova and Vandewinkel.
Very tight matchup on paper and power ratings would have it as basically pickem. But they did play each other in a semifinal on hard courts a couple weeks ago and Vandewinkel won in straight sets. I was thinking of backing Vandewinkel for a bit but then I looked up Zakharova's record in finals and career she's 13-3. Don't think I want to be on the other side of that.

She could make it competitive but I'm not sure I'm ready to bet that she will. Gauff has played two clean matches so far and if she maintains that level it will be a clear step up in competition over what she got from Jovic or Navarro.
If Gauff had been shaky then I might have considered it more. Coco tends to get better in later rounds as well and she will definitely feel like she can take home the trophy here and she will probably feel like she needs to as well to end her title drought. And it's obviously a relief for any player when they know they won't have to go through Aryna.
If I did anything it would be live if there's some kind of opening. I don't expect there to be but I would love to see it happen. Will definitely be a good litmus test for Korn. Also if you do try to back Korneeva I would like her chances to keep it tight early in the match better than I would late.
