going by the video of last year's event (though that was an ATP event by rotation), the court looks slow..should favor Rybakina...of course, we wont know till the tournament actually starts, they can change it every year..

well, happy to see Andreescu and Leylah getting them.. they deserve a break.. good players, border-line great..

[ponchi101]

Yep. Not getting the two top Canadians in the tournament would have been a marketing screw up.

would be very interesting to see if Caro can do well now, or whether the game has evolved beyond her.. I suspect the latter..too many big hitters nowadays

Agree, no-brainer, both popular and successful.

She will be a good test for your hypothesis. Can a player that was never known for power come back to the tour? Also, how will her speed be affected? She can't come with more, but will she be the same player as before, with great wheels and movement?
