Randy’s Pick
Blinkova has been on a tear recently and can’t be ignored in this match. However, this is the best tennis Svitolina has played since returning, and we know she’s one of the better players on the women’s side when in good form. Svitolina also doesn’t lose final appearances, which includes a 12-1 record in her last 13 trips. Experience for days in favor of Svitolina.
I have to side with Svitolina.
