This court is rated the fastest ...
Swiatek and Sinner defending champions..

Correction..that is Shanghai..Beijing is sort of medium-fast

The race to Saudi is now really between Collins, Navarro and QZ..this is a big chunk of points ..how will QZ do in front of a home audience? I suspect she will make it, has a cool head...

QZ's problems are not head related. It is her control. Sometimes it is not there.

wonder what those are..?
meanwhile, Collins has also withdrawn.. illness..hope it is not her autoimmune flaring up..

She simply doesn't want to play. After RG, she did not play in a single Wimbledon warm up, played three matches there, did give it a shot at the Olympics, and we saw the summer tour. All in all, she has played 18 matches and 40 sets since RG.
She simply likes to play as little and selectively as possible. She just can't say it.

It is also possible that she is not well..autoimmune diseases...

Are you commenting on Collins or Swiatek? Collins probably is unwell

*Raducanu replaced by Qualifier/LL

Pretty strong draw, even without Iga or Elena.
I want to see what Navarro does. She has now become top ten. She played very well at the USO. So now, can she back that up. She is now in the area where losing before the SF's will be a bad tournament for her.
