No Sabalenka, I see..understandable..wonder if Rybakina will actually show up... Good opportunity for someone who did not do that well at the AO, maybe injured ..like Badosa, kudermetova...am curious to see how Samsonova does after the thrashing she got from Vekic ...I would bet on Kudermetova if she is fit again...

Samsonova's trashing looks much more acceptable after Donna's run. Vekic was playing quality tennis.

Heh... Mladenovic has certainly done nothing in the past several years to 'deserve better' than having to play qualies.
She offered no resistance at all today, as Leylah rolled over her quickly.

How about Pliskova Vs Mughuruza? To then face Rybakina? That's one "What have I done to deserve this?" match (for Garbie or Karo).

It'll be interesting to see who wins the KaPlis vs Muguruza match. Both women have lost a step or two physically and mentally.

But at least they are in the main draw! Qualies Seems an indignity, somehow

Many really good players here .Rybakina is probably the best, but unlikely to take these tournaments too seriously so soon after the AO ..Kudermetova and Kasatkina mysteriously dropped off in Australia, would be good if they are back to form..
