Navigating a weekend of top sport

AFL 2018 Second Preliminary Final - West Coast v Melbourne

So to start with, we’re at the pointy end of the US Open… We’ll find out this morning who will make Sunday morning’s women’s singles final out of Iga Świątek/Aryna Sabalenka and Caroline Garcia/Ons Jabeur (who beat Ajla Tomljanovic). Świątek is the top seed and the favourite to win the trophy. As for the men, it’s a contest between Casper Ruud/Karen Khachanov (who beat Nick Kyrgios) and Carlos Alcaraz/Frances Tiafoe for Monday morning’s final. Spain’s 19yo Alcaraz is ranked highest, but he played an epic 5+ hours quarter-final match against Jannik Sinner yesterday. Yikes… As for the footy, it’s finals fever… The NRL starts the process with 2 elimination finals and 2 qualifying finals. And in the AFL, there are 2 matches in the round featuring Melbourne vs Brisbane tonight and Collingwood vs Fremantle tomorrow night. The winners advance and the losers end their season. No pressure…
