Barty has a tough draw with projected 3R: Jabeur, 4R: Gauff, QF: Muchova/Svitolina, SF: Swiatek, F: Sabalenka. Even so, I think she’s still the favorite to win the whole thing. Draws have a tendency to fall apart.
Swiatek has a potentially tough 4th rounder in either Muguruza or Martic. Any one of Pegula, Sakkari, and Mertens could make the quarters, but I don’t see a slumping Kenin doing it. If it’s Barty vs. Swiatek in the semis, I’m not reaching to say, the winner is the favorite to win the final.
If Serena and Kvitova both make the 4th round, I see Kvitova taking it, but I somehow don’t see either making it that far. Sabalenka is the heavy favorite in this quarter.
Andreescu and Osaka are both likely to go out early in their quarter, Andreescu due to injury and Osaka for sucking on clay. Kudermetova is my dark horse to make the semis.
