Comment:

My favorite premier event by far. Yet, the top-half is insane. Naomi in deep trouble, for she may get Cibby again in the 2nd, who dropped her to death in Madrid. Her nemesis, Su-Wei, is also in her section but I would like to see her face Ostapenko, if possible, in the qtrs, who is also in that quarter of the draw.

Venus and Serena could meet in the 2nd rd, but Venus has a more than decent matchup with Elise Mertens, while Serena gets a qualie. Didn't like this draw for such. Simona, Kiki Bertens, Sabalenka, Sloane and Vondrousova are all in the top-half.

Bottom half:

Kinda lite.....Petra K. has a walk to the semis, imo. Yet, there are a couple of good matchups I'd like to witness:

Barty v Kuzmova, if she gets by Errani.
Bencic v Sevastova in the lst.
Collins v Wozniacki.......shrug....

Not much else to see in the bottom-half.

Both the ATP and the WTA maindraws are up for PGames purposes.

2nd and 4th quarter are tough...

Drum: I felt the same when being Mertens'draw: first Venus, then Serena, followed by Stephens, Halep, Osaka + a finalist from the other side.
Give her the POY award if she wins this event :-)

Already made my predictions up to the final in the PGame: ended up with Halep vs Bencic (I guess I am doing a bit of wishful thinking)

Re: Venus' draw - it will be interesting to see the results of Venus/Mertens match. Venus has won both of their encounters, both of which were in 2017. She hasn't been playing badly this year, although her losses to Halep were pretty routine. I'm using this as a gauge of Mertens growth as a player.

As far as I know, clay ain't exactly the most favorite surface for Mertens...

Watching Serena vs Peterson... first set 6-4 Serena, but that should have been 6-1.
Serena looking good, but hard to see how good because Peterson is... ehrm... not exactly the best clay-courter that I've seen this season. No depth, no return. The perfect training partner that Serena needs :-)
