[JTContinental]

With nobody having the pressure to defend any points this year, this has the potential to have some strange and exciting results. I do hate that most of the Americans are bunched together in a tiny section of the top half of the draw.

[ponchi101]

Ooooh, Muchova/Sabalenka is a possible 4R match. The stench of revenge is in the air (or of upset part deux).

[ashkor87]

Done. Thanks!

Kenin had some really impressive wins in qualies..3 and 3 over Taylor Townsend! I would give her a good 50% chance against Coco.

[meganfernandez]

Badosa is in the draw.. really playing? I thought she had a severe back strain or something..gets Alison Riske first round, pretty tough..
other first round matches with upset potential - Gauff vs Kenin (Kenin is a higher order player and has gotten grass matches under her belt in qualifying..), Sakkari - Kostyuk is another..Ot these, I would say Kenins is the most likely upset..

Same, was surprised to see her in the draw, but she has been hitting with Tsitsipas.

I so wish Kenin could find her form from a few years ago. I love watching her when she's at her best. So smooth and instinctual.

[ponchi101]

She is one of those players that support my theory that, once you leave the tour for a little while (meaning, months), it is very hard to come back to your previous level. The injuries keep you off the court, you lose a little accuracy, or a little power (see, Zverev, BH) and you are not the same player anymore.
Caveat: this applies to the regular players. The Rogers, Rafas, Novaks, Serenas and that crop are still immune to that.

[jazzyg]

I do not expect Badosa or Riske to play. That will likely be a matchup of two lucky losers.

[ashkor87]

What is the matter with Riske, do you know?

[skatingfan]

What is the matter with Riske, do you know?

Her father passed away a few months ago, and she's been dealing with injury.

[nelslus]

Kovinić has dropped out, and has been replaced by LL Hibino.

[ashkor87]

Kenin had some really impressive wins in qualies..3 and 3 over Taylor Townsend! I would give her a good 50% chance against Coco.

Most sites give Coco 73% chance ..a bit high...50 to 60 % would be reasonable...not that I am a bettor (illegal here though it is probably one of the biggest gambling nations in the world, mostly on cricket ) ! Kenin is a grand slam champion and still young..
