Evgeny Kafelnikov on Miami Open Women’s Final: Sabalenka is the Favorite

Former world No. 1 Evgeny Kafelnikov shared his expectations for the WTA 1000 tournament final in Miami between Aryna Sabalenko and Jessica Pegula.

“Sabalenka is the favorite, she should win. Aryna is stronger than her opponent in all aspects and looks preferable. This includes both her ranking, power, and overall game strength – everything combined. I am confident that her previous defeats at the start of the season will not affect this final. In my opinion, she is emotionally stable, definitely,” – said Kafelnikov, as quoted by Legalbet.by.
