Women's Tennis WTA Tour 2023

WTA Elite Trophy has kicked off in Zhuhai.

 

Meanwhile Karolina Muchova has WD from YEC due to a wrist injury (she didn't play since USO anyway) and will be replaced by Maria Sakkari @Makedonas

WTA Elite Trophy final

 

Beatriz Haddad Maia def. Zheng Qinwen 7-6(11) 7-6 (4)

 

YEC Day 1:

 

Jessica Pegula def. Elena Rybakina 7-5 6-2

Aryna Sabalenka def. Maria Sakkari 6-0 6-1

[Monzanator 4,768]

Aryna Sabalenka beats Elena Rybakina in three sets and advances into SF alongside Jessica Pegula.

 

Looks like Świątek vs Sabalenka SF for the YEC #1 (Iga needs to win the whole tournament though).

 

The weather has been a joke with the wind & rain and well, WTA gets rightfully blasted for the terrible YEC schedule for the second year running after the Fort Worth ghost town last season.

My predictions:

 

How it's gonna be:

 

Gauff vs Pegula 2-1

Sabalenka vs Świątek 2-1

 

Sabalenka vs Gauff 2-0

 

How I would like it to happen:

 

Pegula vs Gauff 2-0

Świątek vs Sabalenka 2-0

 

Świątek vs Pegula 2-0

 Gaby Dabrowski and  Erin Routliffe through to the women’s doubles semifinals at the WTA Finals with a perfect 3-0 record

And how's the weather in Cancun? Some Polish media say today's singles matches are uncertain

Jessica Pegula sweeps Cori Gauff 6-2 6-1 in the first SF. Despite the match barely lasting one hour it still had a rain break

Sabalenka vs Świątek postponed until Sunday after just three games played. The shitshow conitnues. Nobody cares about the doubles so I won't talk about that.

 

Pegula is a HUGE favorite to win it all now since the second finalist will have to basically play four full sets on one day (and we know how the Canadian Open nonsense ended for Samsonova).

Did you see the stands during doubles matches? There were like 20 people watching it. Nobod cares about the doubles except for die-hard fans. And I mean actually WATCHING the damn matches, not checking the scores afterwards
