Randy’s Pick

Stephens and the plus money is attractive, but she was shaky with her unforced errors in her last match and that’s a concern. Also, Sabalenka is not only 3-0 against Stephens, but she’s playing the best tennis of her life. Sabalenka is no longer struggling with the mental part of her game, and the focus has led to consistent success. Stephens is coming off 46 unforced errors, and that won’t fly against Sabalenka right now.

Give me Sabalenka to reach the quarters, and I’ll take her in straight sets to shave the juice.
