Swiatek withdraws due to "illness".
Message to tournaments the week prior to a slam: DO NOT HOLD A TOURNAMENT. Hold an exo, play two out of three sets, with the last set being a TB, finish on Friday, move your venue within the same area code of the slam.
Because there is no way a top player will play the full week. They will w/o at the semis, if they make it there.
Yes, there were 6 lucky losers in the Eastbourne draw.

Iga mentioned her illness was GI related and maybe food poisoning, so it is possible she just ate a Bad Homburg-er.
....Which could have also led to a disastrous case of Bad Gastein.

As to why Pegula is ranked higher, surely it is because the ranking system rewards, not excellence, but consistency - the tour wants players who will show up and play well, week after week- that is Pegula .if they were to actually meet any time soon, I would certainly expect Alexandrova to win.
lol Alexandrova has already played 35 tournaments in the past 18 months, so she's got the showing up week after week part down.
Just did a quick results check for Wimbledon:
Alexandrova has 2 wins in 5 Wimbledons
Gauff has 8 wins in 4 Wimbledons
Pegula has 3 wins in 3 Wimbledons

I am amazed that Pegula has played only 3 Wimbledons. I know she has been injured plenty, but that is a very small number of appearances for a player already 28yo.
