Court looks reasonably fast, maybe a tad slower than last year..people don't realise the main reason Raducanu and Leylah did so well last year, despite not having much power, is because the court did the job for them, and rewarded footwork, reflexes, agility..
Revised probability estimates:

Leylah 25%
Raducanu 15%
Bencic 15%
Osaka 15%
Q Zheng 10%
Rybakina 5%
Samsonova 5%
Andreescu 5%
Coco 5%
Field 0


Men:

Medvedev 40%
Kyrgios 30
Sinner 15
Hurkacsz 10
Alcaraz 5
Field 0

...

That would describe Halep's game rather accurately.
Yet, she is gone.
I really don't get your reasoning regarding speed. If the court is fast, the power hitters would be able to end the point with one shot; after all, they have power and the court is fast.
A slow court favors the speedy players. It takes away from the power hitters.
That is how I see it.

[ashkor87]

Power hitters don't need help from the court..on a fast court, defense counts for more than offense.. on a slow court, everyone can reach and return balls, then you must have the power to blast the ball past them, or come to the net and volley, as Leylah does.

good for Coco.. Halep out of her way, only Keys stands between her and a QF.. I dont doubt she will get there now..

the key matches today :
of course, Raducanu versus Cornet.. I hope and expect Raducanu wins
Fognini versus Karatsev - no idea who will win that one!
Zheng versus Ostapenko - how good is Zheng, really? If she can beat Ostapenko, I will start believng she can win this whole thing ..
Goffin - Musetti - same question for Musetti - how good is he, really?

I don't think Emma will get over Alize.
If you had claimed your dog chewed balls, I would bet you one such ball Alize wins.

True that Cornet is a big-match player..I would say it is 50-50 , I just hope that Raducanu wins, mainly because she is younger, has a longer career ahead of her..

Must view with the sound on.
