What score did you expect she would beat Pliskova by? 2 &3? That was not going to happen.
You are tough, sometimes.

It is the utterly brainless game that disappointed me...

The draw seems to suggest BHM will be in the quarters against Coco ..
Swiatek vs Ostapenko, Rybakina vs QZ or Pegula, BHM vs Coco and Andreeva vs Sabalenka . andreeva has a good draw too, her main rival will be Krejcikova...

Men's looks like:
Djokovic- Tsitsipas, Sinner-DeMinaur, Hurkacz-Medvedev and Zverev-Alcaraz...
What do you expect?

Don’t blow by Anisimova in Sabalenka’s section. Amanda beat her here in 2019. I know Sabalenka is more refined but I wonder if that memory will come back to her.

There has to be a surprise or two from your projections. Anisimova, Timofeeva, Andreeva, Noskova, Tomljanovic… ?

Plus, Amanda was a highly touted player who was derailed by a very simple but tragic reason: the death of her father.
If she has been able to put that behind her (in the proper way, the death of a parent at that young age simply never goes away), I see no reason to deny the fact that she has power and speed. Amanda Anisimova, Slam Semi finalist? She has done it already. Slam champ? Surprising, at this moment, but not shocking.

good point but I wonder if Ansimova is battle ready yet for a giant like Sabalenka..and I do have Andreeva in there.

Of all the players on display, Sabalenka and Sinner have looked the best...long way to go, but promising beginning...
