Bouchard should win. Bencic could win but has a tough draw. Some good first round matches like Goerges/KBond, Tomjlanovic/Puig
If you said a year ago Lucic would be #1 seed & Bencic unseeded at a Tier 3, I'd say you were nuts! Crazy sport.
^Agreed. Don't understand what people are complaining about. Kuala Lumpur is much weaker.
Brengle is still there. There are 6 qualifier spots in both draws posted, I don't think anybody withdrew. The Wikipedia draw isn't showing any LL's either.
Flipping Flipkens will be a tough first second round match for Genie. But if she can get through that, I think new found love could propel her to the title.
So people are saying Bouchard/Bencic as taking the title? I have them both out first round, lol.... I would rather pick people who have actually been in form.
From the Acapulco twitter page, they announced Lepchenko where Brengle currently is and put Brengle on the screen and never changed it when she got called for real later in the draw...
Not sure how they are letting this happen...also not sure what happened in the bottom half because during the live draw hardly anyone is facing who they announced live...
