I feel like it will come down to mental strength. She sure does whine A LOT and debates calls, rolls her eyes at calls and huffs-and-puffs like a 13 year old who didn't get her way.
BUT she has a hard shot for sure!!
Her BIGGEST weakness is that 2nd serve. It's sooooo slow and it's her Achilles heel and if Halep can hit her spots, she will take advantage and get a bunch of breaks.
That's my opinion. I'm gonna stay away. It's GREAT value but I don't trust her enough and don't wanna lay the juice on Halep.

Karolina Pliskova said she would bet all her money on Simona Halep.. I don't know if i'll bet on this match.. I hoped for better odds on Simona but the books are smart..

Ostapenko's 2nd serve is little short of a joke. Halep is the best returner currently playing (Kerber was the best, but she's fallen off the face of the earth). Halep is going to break the Latvian every other service game unless she gets her first serves in to an exceptionally high degree: and this she asked to do in her very first Slam final. GL with that happening: it's possible, but not probable. IMO the Latvians 'only' chance is if Halep chokes. If the Halep of the last 4-5 weeks shows, the Latvian will not win.

i agree, if jelena doesn't get 75-80% of her first serves in she's toast. Laying a lot on halep ml and sprinkle some on under and spread

I have a nice future bet on Wawrinka. Nadal hasn't been tested yet. He is breakable don't fool yourselves. If Stan can grab the first or second set its open season.

Ostapenko +260Ostapenko 2-1 +636There is a hell of a lot of value in this girl. Mentally - She is unphased by the big stage. If she does get in a rut its very short lived.Power - Her strikes are harder than Andy MurrayMovement - She moves very well across the court.This will most likely go 3 sets to Ostapenko. I welcome your perspectives.
First post out of like 20 threads that i consider smart. On the money. Although i disagree with you that Stan will have the fortitude to withstand nadal. They both play bully ball, but nadal is much more rested, has a much better record this year (in his lifetime at RG). If Stan takes a set it will be gifted to him. Murray was I would say, 65% of himself and almost took him out in the fourth set tie breaker. I would stay so far from any player playing against nadal.... He's going to make Stan pay unlike Murray did. Will Stan fight til the end? Probably, he's. A giant killer. But hasn't ever killed this King on clay on his best tournament, and tomrorrow won't be the first time. Stan isn't ahead of nadal in current standings. Nadal Is actually first in the word as it stands. Roger is second with thiem third.
