Randy’s Pick

Martic is no pushover, but as I’ve said time and time again, Swiatek in straight sets has become of the safest bets in women’s tennis. Neither of the previous two matches were competitive, and the majority of Swiatek’s wins aren’t close. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.

Give me Swiatek in straight sets.
