She's just tough. Nothing bothers her.

A worrying stat though. Bianca has lost 7 out of her last 10 2nd sets after winning the 1st.

When it goes the distance, Bianca is in her comfort zone.

It’s just the Bianca way.

I enjoyed what the commentators said during the final tiebreak. It’s like Bianca orchestrates these matches so they come down to these moments and she can showcase her ability to perform.

Woke up this morning and hard to believe what I watched last night wasn't a dream. The final against Barty is going to be very tough, but after seeing the grit and determination on display last night against Sakkari, how can you not like Bianca's chances?

Sakkari actually won four more points than Andreescu did in the match.

Barty is pretty solid. She's not like 90% of the headcases on the WTA.

RBA and Sinner need a 3rd set to decide a winner. High quality match thus far.

Very physical match. You'd think the young legs of Sinner have the advantage now.

Always like seeing the closeups of player's frames to see how much lead tape they add (usually at the 3 and 9 positions) on the racquet head. A lot of them also like to inject silicone in the handle or add lead tape under an overgrip.

Tennis is crazy, Sinner was looking dead at 1-3 15-30 and in a blink of an eye, it's 3-3.

Sinner has very similar Bianca traits.

He's definitely ahead of FAA. I'd say the Italian pair (Sinner, Musati) are pulling ahead of the Canadian pair (Denis and FAA)

Sinner is definitely ahead of Felix and Denis in the mental game. Musetti is a showman like Shapo and you wonder if he will let his emotions get the best of him in crucial moments. Jannik Sinner is cool as a cucumber.

Of course, we're forgetting about Matteo Berrettini who is out injured currently, but Italian men's tennis is certainly on the rise.

Your Sunday final is Sinner vs. Hurkacz.
