rafalgorka 1,394 Posted January 11 #13 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Anyway, Iga Świątek route 1. Sofia Kenin USA - it may be much harder match than many expect 2. Diane Collins USA - this one may be tough as well, but in the end Collins may be very tired because her 1st round match vs Kerber may be long and close 3. Linda Noskova CZE - hopefully a bit easier win in 2 sets 4. Elena Svitolina UKR - here i expect 3 sets QF Victoria Azarenka BLRUS - 2 sets win i hope, but defenitely Azarenka will show her behaviour on court SF Elena Rybakina KAZ - I'm afraid Iga may lose this one But if not - F Aryna Sabalenka BLRUS - and she can lose this one, but if she is in the final indeed... anything can happen She can obviously lose against Kenin in Rd 1 as well, that's life Hubert Hurkacz route 1. Q/LL - ??? but i hope a win in 3 sets, from all the possible names i would like to see him play vs Flavio Cobolli ITA - it could be really interesting game, i hope he draws an easier opponent though 2. Denis Shapovalov CAN - this one can turn into 5 sets battle 3. Zhang Zhizhen CHN - i still feel Chinese will make breakthrough this season. But Hurkacz in four 4. Arthur Fils FRA - Hurkacz in three, Fils will be extremely tired after 3 early matches QF Daniil Medvedev BLRUS - that's probably the end of the story, I'm afraid Hubert may even have a matchball in thid match but as usual he blows the deciding points but if he wins somehow SF - Carlos Alcaraz ESP - I don't see a win for Hubert here, not yet. Only chance is if Carloz has some health issues And if Hubert is in the final somehow - Novak Djokovic SRB - Novak wins but Hubert shows some strength and wins one set Let's see...

rafalgorka 1,394 Posted January 11 #17 Share Posted January 11 But he plays against AUS WC guy O Jasika so it may be difficult match but I would really love to see Jordan player in Grand Slam main draw i am not sure here but I think it would be first Jordan player in main draw in singles event grand slams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Federer91 2,192 Posted January 11 #19 Share Posted January 11 Some very intriguing clashes on the women's side. The men's draw is much more balanced. Let's see what the schedule looks like for day 1 and who gets the heat sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
