Sakkari leads the H2H 1-0 (6-3 6-4 in New Haven last year).

If Lucic plays like her last, she'll beat anyone. But she's the kind of player who is better as an underdog against a player like Aga or Halep. This is a lot different, so I'm picking Sakkari, but Lucic winning wont be a bad thing either. Its win-win, 2 interesting stories

This is one of those matches where I'll be happy either way. Both are delightful women at very different stages of their careers.

I watched a bit of Sakkari/Cornet

She moves very well, is feisty and hits good deep topspin fhs.

She will try to make Mirjana play a lot of balls and self destruct.

Cornet didn't have the ability to hit through her.

I think if Mirjana is patient and in a the right mind set, she will be able to eventually hit though her

Lucic in three sets.

I voted for Lucic but with MLB you never know what you're going to get...

well, except for inconsistency.

This is a bit like a tier 2/3 version of the Kuznetsova-Wozniacki match up, where you know one player is the more exciting player to watch and should have all the tools to dismantle the opponent yet the other player's victory is never in doubt.

I know that in reality Sveta has plenty of wins over Caro, but there's always this sense of doom and impending frustration when they are going to face off.
