Iga in 2, Navarro hasn't played particularly well all tournament, just winning her matches through pure grit and willpower. Plus the time she's spent on court is bound to catch up with her at some point.

I don't think it will be a bagel and breadstick, but I don't see Navarro giving Iga too much problems

 

Iga like 2&3.

 

Anything under 3 hours Swiatek wins.

 

Swiatek would have preferred exhausted Kasatkina but Navarro should not cause too much trouble for her. 62 64 or something similar.

2GA needs to be destroyed by Sabalenka in the final and shown where she belongs.

 

Iga has no time for nonsenses here. 61 61 for her. Probably under 60 minutes.

 

Time on court ahead of the QF:

Emma Navarro: 10hrs 16mims
Iga Swiatek: 4hrs 34mins

 

Time on court ahead of the QF:

Emma Navarro: 10hrs 16mims
Iga Swiatek: 4hrs 34mins

Iga lost 4 games in her last 3 matches combined.

 

Navarro probably has a better chance trying to buy a win

 

Sometimes I wonder if players like Pegula, Navarro or the richest males actually could do something like this.

 

If Navarro recovers she can win. She’s smart and can get a lot balls back and has been battle tested unlike her opponent who has been rewarded with the easiest draw ever after doping.
Navarro in 3.

 

She certainly knows how to beat Gauff.

Humbled her in last two majors.

I can see her doing it again if she gets through 1ga.

 

The way Iga is playing, she is the tournament favourite now. I think she'll dismiss Emma in straights but I don't think it will be double bakery products.

Nonsense. Who has she played. She’ll get exposed against the first real opponent she plays.

 

Navarro's FH is a liability, Iga should expose it easily.

 

Her primary weakness seems to be the down-the-line FH from the ad side of the court, which she hesitates to use and which is often very feeble.

 

I think Iga will prevail, but it won't be as easy as her previous matches. Emma may be also a little exhausted, she only played 3 setters and spent almost 6 hours more on court than Iga so far...

 

Iga got a good decision from WADA today but the relief can work both ways, especially as she's so emotional.

 

IGA might be undercooked for peak Keys...

 

This is no sweet Emma, so cutthroat Emma yet another 3 set win.

 

As I said in the live commentary thread better for the tournament as Dasha would have been crushed. Maybe Emma can trouble Iga a bit more but anyway...Iga in 2

 

Navarro might be the first real opponent (kind of) for Iga but I really don´t see how the second Emma can trouble her. Playing smart and grinding via will power are not enough. Only big hitters with some varieties like Saba and Ryba can give Iga headaches.

By the way, Navarro has a Federer-like presence on court.

Who has straight setted her the last two times they played.

 

NID...The only question is if sour Emma can win more games than sweet Emma Or maybe NID either

 

Emma’s serve has been very vulnerable this whole tournament. She’s obviously a better returner/baseline player than anyone Iga’s faced so far but idk if she’ll be able to hold serve enough times to keep the match competitive.

 

People are too sure of an Iga win. Yes she has been cruising' but her opponents haven't really put up much resistance' and Navarro is no slouch. When one looks at some of Świątek's hardcourt slam runs in recent years' a pattern emerges of her winning smoothly before running into a wall vs opponents closer to her own league' oftentimes struggling internally. Yes she is far fresher and Emma hasn't been convincing' so she still has more arguments on her side' but it depends more on her headspace now. If she starts feeling the pressure' then I won't be surprised some of her redlining shots that have been going in all week start missing and a canny competitor in Navarro takes advantage. All in all' a big test for whether Fissette has managed to right the ship when it comes to mental approach.

 

This is true as well, will be the first real test of the Fissette/Swiatek partnership imo. Especially when it comes to mental approach in slams, as you said.

 

Btw, I like how we're all so used to Iga being the #1 seed that we subconsciously just type (1) next to her name in result/WWW threads

 

Iga will demolish her.

 

Haters as usual spitting nonsense about alleged Iga's cup cake draw but let's see who the top seeds are facing in the QFs:

Iga - seed 8 up and coming young player
Saba - running on fumes 33yo veteran seed 27
Gauff - notoriously back-injured seed 11

But I guess you can't buy a brain, can you?

 

Do you really think facing Raducanu, Lys, and Navarro is tougher than Tauson, Andreeva, and Pavs, or Fernandez, Bencic, and Badosa? Keeping in mind the form and health of those opponents coming into the tournament, and how they’ve played so far. Would you rather Iga had either Aryna or Coco’s draws? 👀

In the past, you were always the first to call out a Sabs cakewalk so curious why it’s hard for you to do so here—Iga’s draw is an absolute joke, and that’s OK

 

Do they have another QF session at 7pm for the bottom half of the draw or do they start a bit earlier due to SF match being played the following day, which is in the night session? Anyways Iga will most likely play 2nd QF on Rod Laver and if she faces Keys in SF, I don't think Keys will adjust well from day to night session from what I saw from her at USO last year where that scenario happened.

 

Navarro loves to spoil so... hm....

 

Look at the weather forecast for upcoming days. Only around 20 degrees. RG vibes, if she doesn't win AO now then probably never

 

There’s rain forecasted for Thursday where the SF will be played. If it’s Iga against Keys I be have horrible flashbacks of Iga against Collins under the roof in AO SF 2022 😫
